bogeydog Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Ok what is the latest opinions on these? They have been out for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIduffer Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Have 120X flex in a set of wedges, so take it for what it is worth as the wedge heads are fairly heavy so they might be impacting the playing profile. Play looser to flex than other graphite shafts in comparable flex and lighter weight. Ball flight is higher when matched to other wedges using iron shafts as the engine. On full shots the looseness equates to a sense of unease in their stability but for partials and touch shots they are spot on. Good communication of feel from club head to hand. Overall, for the money, if you can nail down the flex then they should perform well for you. They are not my favorite shaft but compared to other graphite shafts I have played, they are a good option for the price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I still think these are good shafts and value for money. Same with the MC Hybrid shafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 There are some older threads with pretty extensive discussion, but these are metal and carbon composites that, for me, play with the tight dispersion of steel at a lighter weight that isn't "air-y" like I've found Aerotechs to be. Have them in all my Miuras and love them. Trajectory is strong and distance is excellent for my smooth tempo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I've got the 100x in my all my irons, as well as the two wedges. By far the best shaft I've used to date. Very, very responsive. Super tight dispersion, strong ballflight. Yes a higher ball flight with a very full swing, but in no way ballooning. I'd call it towering. However I can vary the trajectory upon command. I relate these shafts to a car having a super tight suspension as they're very responsive. No sloppiness in the shaft at all that I've found. In the wedges, I've got 8 iron shafts and they perform on all types of shots. Full, half, delicate you name it. I like these shafts very much but I can see how some others may not. They do feel a little different than others so it may take a little time to get used to, but so far I've found that they're everything as advertised by Fujikura.

Curious about your higher trajectory comment and wanted your frame of comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 What shaft did you okay before? Curious about your higher trajectory comment and wanted your frame of comparison. Coming from the KBS Tours. Had them on a couple of previous sets of X-blades; the 901's and another previous edtion. Believe the KBS were like 6.5's. Goodsie of course did them for me. The higher trajectory comes when I really go after them. In comparison to the KBS they climb higher right from the get go, then flatten out and travel a little longer. But if I dial down and use more of a 3/4 type swing I can bring it down. I do really like these shafts. Of course they are 100 gm compared to what 120+ in which the KBS were. And at the time I really liked the KBS. But these new MCI's have turned my eye for sure. My new love in a shaft so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjr. D Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 They're absolutely awesome. Tossup between Recoils and these for best hybrid/graphite shaft. They're extremely long, too. If a shaft can be long. I don't totally understand it but they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
