Posted June 12, 201311 yr comment_209242 Optimally, I'd put in the Fujikura MCI's but I don't feel like spending $750 for shafts so I've narrowed it down to the Shimada Pro (low launch and spin) or the SteelFibres 125. Thoughts? Thanks.
June 12, 201311 yr comment_209244 either is good. more feel with the shimada X , but the steelfibres .. i played on saturday in stiff only (125) i think might suit you better, they launch low and are extremely sturdy. faultless , i think im JUST at the cusp of playing them well enough. faster .harder swingers than i will definatly get more form them. they were LOW. certianly not the best feel goinground but really really smooth................. i think i like CW shafts, these and the monacco are my faves.

June 12, 201311 yr comment_209245 I currently play the steelfibers 125 and find them to be low launch shafts that allow you to really swing hard when you need to. The shaft responds well to an aggressive swing. BTW the MCI's are worth the money currently have those in some VG3 and they are just beautiful
June 12, 201311 yr comment_209246 I'd go Steelfibers. I too have the MCI's and that would be my vote but, I believe that there is something to this new steel/graphite emulsion technology or whatever you want to call it. The steelfibers and MCI's are similar in that regard.
June 12, 201311 yr comment_209247 I don't believe there is a better performing shaft at any price than the steel fiber. Better feeling,'better looking, perhaps. Consistency stability and distance and vibration reduction...,not in my mind.

June 13, 201311 yr comment_209297 thats some serious coin for the mci's - looking at 4-pw with 2 additionals for wedges, the 100s will cost like $850. The recoils ( ex the protos ) or steelfibers are 50% of the mci's. given that i hv zero chance of testing these 3 out begore buying, are the mci's that superior over the other 2 ??

I have the Areotech in one set Modus 3 in another and the MCI in the third. They all play different. My original reason for the Aerotech's was an elbow problem that was caused by steel shafts. The Areotech advantage is the weight and stiffness of the shaft. They play alot like steel shafts. Aerotechs come in different shaft weights so you can get them to feel as close to steel shafts as possible. The MCI is a different beast all together. They are smooth with great feedback. Very responsive during the transition phase of your swing and at impact. Cost is a big deal MCI's are worth the money, but the Aerotech's are a great substitute, you get a powerful shaft for half the cost.
