+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Geotech's original Muso line featured better materials than shafts that cost two to three times more, this year MUSO is taking it a step further with a full length 80T shaft manufactured by Triphas who owns Basileus. Best of all the shaft is only 625 bucks. I gotta say this is what happens when Japanese golf companies create new and improved materials or technologies, you begin to see more brands adopt the tech then the price comes down and more new designs become available. I still have yet to see expensive high end materials make it to the states in retail models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fore Left! Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Would the Aldila Rogue 125 qualify as high end materials? Granted they're owned by MRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted they're owned by MRC No idea, I don't know anything about Aldila to be honest. Most of the time I stick with brands that produce their own shafts in house using their own factory. I don't mind if they buy the prepreg elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestorm959 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) The Aldila rep on golfwrx said the 125 MSI rogue is equivalent to 80t. I wonder how these new shafts compare to the Basileus alpha and AAA Edited March 3, 2015 by Icestorm959 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how these new shafts compare to the Basileus alpha and AAA That rep is gonna rep... Where is the prepreg from? Who does the weave? How many axis? What degree for each axis? Rating of the 80T ( glass/resin ratio ) etc.. This is all the stuff USDM brands try to avoid while Japan brands love to explain and highlight. But imo we need to get off the 80T is better thing. TSG heavily marketed the 80T trend but like all things once it's hot everyone else picks up on it. If this goes on there will be 100T, so much more goes into a shaft. 40/50/80T/Pan60/ etc.. none are better than the other as it all depends on the application and design. Many brands simply pick weave patterns that have worked in tthe past and test until one sticks. Most Japanese factories don't speak so highly of using 80T in shafts, the question is Why? It's like Boron, Why? There are much better high elasticity materials that maintain their shape just as well and feel much better and are more durable. Same thing is happening with DAT55G, it's a Japanese material but all of a sudden there are several new variants from China & Russia.
