Damn, just when I got happy shafting up my Kamui 3wd this comes out….

Why can't they make a compact blade? Then I could get back to gaming a full bag by one mfg...

Oh, and how much?

If you pair it with any of their new Labo-Spec (HASHIRI:60, HASHIRI70, SHINARI:60, TATAKI:40, TATAKI:60, TATAKI:70) shafts it should be in the 500's.

last night htere wsa a 3o min inofmercial on the new labo spec shafts, firstly they look, awsome. adn the results the typicval oyagi exp ro tester was ggettign soem great numbers on trackman with the new onoff driver shaft set up.

these shafts might be of interest to a lot of guys here i think

What besides the weights define the differences between the shafts?

Mine arrived in the mail today. Had it shafted up with the Roddio S7. Great looking club anxiously waiting to give it a try.

Always interesting to me that when asking for a half flex option they tend to tip extra on the looser flex as opposed to less tipping the stiffer shaft. In other words, I ordered it in SX and came with an S7S not an S7X. Guess the looser flex is easier to get off the ground.

Well rounded offering.

OK, so they are painted differently too. Also a couple have long designation, assuming that is to play it longer than a set length. Since I don't read Japanese, what are the shaft characteristics besides weigh and color scheme?

So here's a useful chart that explains the characteristics.

figure_positioning-map.png

Vertical Axis on the left and right of chart:

The vertical axis on the left shows the shaft's overall flex characteristic. (firmer to softer - top to bottom)

The vertical axis on the right shows the swing speed/type the shaft would be most suited for. The higher on the chart means faster/aggressive swingers- lower would indicate slower/smoother swingers.

Now on to the two horizontal marks on the bottom of the chart <---->

The horizontal axis on the top means "dando" or trajectory. (The far left will be high and the far right will be mid) *notice there is no "low" trajectory shaft here.

The second horizontal axis says "imeiji" or image. lol It shows the flight shape the shaft would tend to produce. The far left will be for a draw and the far right will be fade.

Quick notes:

Hashiri- (means to run or accelerate)recommended for the average player looking to maximize distance and achieve a full and easy release of the club head.

Shinari- (means flex or bend) recommended for the player that wants a very neutral shaft. Best in workability in both directions.

Tataki- (means hit) recommended for the "hitters" of the ball and those who are trying to avoid the left side of the course.

Hope this helps.

tataki... 70
stiff flex.

70- gram
3.7 torque.tip kick
42-48 m/ps swing speed
