robbie Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Great review Aston, sounds like you've got yourself a winner! what head is mated with the 7D? and did you find yourself tuning the head (if it's an adjustable one) to better fit the shafts results as you were trying different things at the range? It is time to get yourself fitted my friend......ill help you get rid of the one u got !!! ill be by in an hour, leave it by the mailbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbachman Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Interesting Bentley article. I assume it's just branding and no tech compared to PXG, etc. nice that they mentioned 7D. Iron shafts coming!?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Wow....iron shafts, how sick would that be ???? Like Roddio i10 or i11 but even smoother and tighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbachman Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 If so, I wonder if the price point would stay similar to the matrix costs or if they start doing more volume drop in that regard for a set (though if you think about 7 shafts, it wouldn't be cheap...)

+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I guess the cats out of the bag! 7D iron shafts will be unveiled at the golf show, I've had them for 2 days now in a special set of irons but those in Japan can go to the Shiba-Koen location and give them a whack by appt only. They retail 100,000 yen each shaft. Fitting can be same as the Matrix/Haute but also customer requests weight/flex/characteristics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbachman Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Awesome!!!!! More details as they come! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickyfowler Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 at over $800 per shaft it will not be everyone's choice despite the awesome quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbie Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I can't see how it can be made better than Roddios offerings but I'm sure they will be magical.......7D would be such a dream if they would have a lifetime warranty on the shaft, perhaps a nominal fee for the cost of replacing...say $200 per shaft and the broken fragments : ) Edited February 5, 2016 by robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston55 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 oh man I've never played graphite in my irons but this is something I may consider. How do they determine weight for steel-shaft iron players? I typically play a 128-130 gram steel shaft. I'm assuming a graphite shaft will be made lighter?

nobmontana Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 If Matrix and other brands can make 130g graphite iron shafts, I am sure 7D can make them too. But with much higher quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobmontana Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Getting into that heavier weight range, next should be putter shafts!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they determine weight for steel-shaft iron players? I typically play a 128-130 gram steel shaft. I'm assuming a graphite shaft will be made lighter? The customer will request a weight & flex. 130g is no problem. Heavy shafts are the easiest to make it's the light shafts that take more expertise and better materials.

dickyfowler Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 At their price-point, think I'll just get 1 and learn to be very versatile with a #7 iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
