February 5, 201411 yr Those look nasty sweet! If they perform like the Messenger driver shaft, they're going to have another winner.
February 5, 201411 yr Those look nasty sweet! If they perform like the Messenger driver shaft, they're going to have another winner. I second this thought big time. The Messenger is a great performing and feeling shaft.
February 5, 201411 yr Author Chris, Any irons and wedges planned? Who'll be forging it for them? No irons or wedges on the horizon. This is first and foremost a shaft brand thats moving into woods.
February 6, 201411 yr hope they have heavier weights compared to the FW80. if so then i am game for one, probably with one of their FW heads as well!
February 6, 201411 yr No irons or wedges on the horizon. This is first and foremost a shaft brand thats moving into woods. I hope they keep their vision fresh and remain fairly specialized. There are certainly pros and cons associated with expanding a boutique brand.
February 6, 201411 yr weights are as follows for the messenger FW; they are doing flex rating by stars; 1 star 66gram 2 star 66gram 3 star 67gram 4 star 68 gram **mid high kick point for all flexes.
February 6, 201411 yr Personally, I'd like to see them offer light shafts as well, as in a hyper-light 40 or 50.

I wish more companies would build more good FW shafts in 75-90 gram range. 75-80 is my sweet spot, anything lighter might get me 5 more yards or so but at the expense of massive amounts of control. I'd bet most people would fare better going heavier as well. Hell, if you need to hit it farther, hit driver. But I know, I know…..distance sells.

I am with you, the original fuji pro95 is still king of the FW shafts if you do not factor in the tour only fuji hk-pro110...75-80 is my preferred driver shaft weight so 90-100+ is my FW shaft of choice I wish TRPX would make a driver shaft mid-70grams or more!
February 9, 201411 yr Author If we can get an order of 25 pcs together I can have one custom made for TSG with special colors & logo on it.
February 9, 201411 yr If we can get an order of 25 pcs together I can have one custom made for TSG with special colors & logo on it. I would be up for that especially if we can get a heavier weight shaft.
February 9, 201411 yr Author I would be up for that especially if we can get a heavier weight shaft. If we could only choose one weight what would it be? Spec requests? I usually prefer 80-85g
February 9, 201411 yr If we could only choose one weight what would it be? Spec requests? I usually prefer 80-85g 80-85 grams would be perfect. Edited February 9, 201411 yr by akapur
