What model of shafts is this replacing? It can't be the Tie series can it?

Maru means "round" or "circle"

Very indicative that this shaft is going to have a circular diameter.

Bring back the rain graphics. Damn it Matrix Ozik.

Thats what I would like to know. Sure seems like the Red Maru could challenge my Black Tie.....

It doesn't make too much sense to replace the Tie series. I would also love to put the red up against the Black Tie.

I'm really interested in the Blue or green just off the colors, but would like to know more

My guess is a SpeedRulz replacement.

Shaft graphics say "Speed ???? ???? Technology"

Speed Rulz Type C 70X was a great shaft for me the last two seasons. I held on to it. Super smooth for a low/low.

Might be interested in this new series too

The whole Speed Rul Z Series was SUPER slept on!!!

The C-Type 60 was a world class shaft that can be had for like 75 Bucks now.

The B-Type 70 is a great fairway shaft that is slightly counter balanced.

I know Matrix has thrown out some Dud's over the past 3 years but the Speed Rul Z series was great!!!

I just got some of these in. Matrix Maru in 60X and 70X. They look amazing.

The new "Maru" lineup consists of three mid-launching and mid-spinning profiles that are designed to optimize performance unique to every swing.

AKRON, Ohio — Matrix's newest shaft offering made its TOUR debut at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational. The new "Maru" lineup consists of three mid-launching and mid-spinning profiles that are designed to optimize feel and performance based on swing type and speed.

Each shaft utilizes the company's Gradient Energy Flow (GEF) technology to produce "Tour-type" trajectory and improve ball speed. The GEF also helps enhance stability in the mid-section, which in turn transfers more power directly to the club head at impact.

According to Matrix, the Maru Green has the softest butt and tip section in the lineup. The active tip section makes it easier to get the ball in the air without sacrificing control. The shaft is built for players with a smooth swing.

Maru Blue, which replaces Matrix Speed Rulz B-Type, has a stiffer butt section and responsive tip section that creates a balanced EI profile. The shaft is geared for the stronger golfer with a faster release who needs extra stability but doesn't want to sacrifice feel.

The final shaft in the lineup, Maru Red, will replace Speed Rulz C-Type and features an extra-stiff butt and tip section. The Red profile is made for high-swing speed players that "heavily load the shaft, and prefer a firm, controlled fee."

Hmm interesting. The Maru Red replacing Type C --- I played Type C 70X, the butt end was definitely not extra-stiff but the tip was. Regardless the middle was softer than the rebar low/low shafts it battles against, definitely felt that shaft kick.

I've emailed Matrix a few times with no response. I might have to give them a call to clarify this.
