I enjoy your content and would appreciate your opinion here: I played the Axioms (105) and still have a set. But I had the opportunity to hit Miuras with the 95 TZI and really liked the combo (the shaft was 327 CPM) . Since that time, I've seen stuff about the 5 and 6 and you have talked about the ICWT, etc. I would stick with the Axioms, but the TZIs seemed like less work (and I wouldn't mind more height and spin). I'm an old dude (67), but I'm a 6HC and can still move the ball (my swing speeds are VERY similar to yours --83 MPH 7 iron; 95-100 driver). What's your recommendation/preference? I have played Axioms and they're great. But I think I want something lighter (90-95); I think that's probably why I liked these shafts. I am a traditionalist (Miuras) and took a hiatus with steel (950GH, Modus, $ taper lite), so I've played a lot of stuff... But my elbows want me to return to graphite. Already having the Axioms is hard to ignore, but... I appreciate your opinion... less work to load the shaft is not a concept I'm opposed to, but no balloons! thanks,
I received the wedges that you built for me with the Accra 90 Wedge shafts in them. Having chipped with them and swung them a bit, I will say that I really like the feel of them. They almost have the feel of a steel shaft. The ball feels good coming off of the clubface and does what you expect it to do. The weight of the club head on the end of the shaft feels right as well. Most graphite shafts that I've tried just don't feel right or perform as expected. I think this one will be different. I'll let you know more as I actually take them to the range and on the course for play. Thank you for a great build!
Like the view of the numbers - nice and geeky. Curious about taking standard deviation into your consideration though? Seems they are all comparable (though like the swing xonformity of the 115). Has aways seemsed to me that one should have 80 to 100 swings or so (standard warm up and and getting into the back nine for swing count) to be able to appropriately test any type of club.
From a math point of view about 30 would do it with removing the plus or minus sigma. However that is why I went around a second time for 3 more balls then removed 3 of the shortest without regard to the consistency to gain another parameter where one cold find length and accuracy. Would more be better probably, but to get the gist of the shaft 8 -10 is more than enough.
When you weight these shafts while doing a build, how close in tolerance are they to their stated weights? How close are they in tolerance to their stated flex? And now the question that we all really want to know...How do they feel when swinging and hitting balls with them?
The weights were very close to the stated weights. The flex is subject to the build, they have an 8” tip section so flex matching can go down or up a flex imo. However i cut them for down the middle flexes so the 95 low s 105 high s 115 x and so on. They hit very well. Better than the KBS TGI in feel , noticeably different then the pig or iseries models

Good stuff here, Jim. Thank you for sharing this comparison!
No problem and thanks
Great review. Am curious how these compare to my current gamer MMT’s? Also price?

If one would want to soften the 115's a little bit more, what tipping would you recommend for that?
Any tipping per club or just butt trim to length?
Good stuff Jim.
Price per shaft?
Great video.
Scot send us an email.
And I forgot to ask...what about trajectory? Heavier=lower? Lighter=higher?
For me a bit lower, than expected but across the board all model hit about the same
Looks like the TZ95 gave you the best smash factor.
I liked it too you should how the other compared in the next video
