Do you own this exact matte finish? My guess this will be one of the extremely durable polymers. I’ve been using them for years and they hold up incredibly well. BB

Wouldn't mind some LSLs in black, or blue. Saw a set on fleabay a while back but they were stiff. Just couldn't pull the trigger for the price to have to probably 1x or 2x hardstep and then be short a PW shaft and probably 1/2" under standard.

 

And to answer the question about 120 vs. 130 popularity. Yes 120 is more commonly a stock option, and 130 has unique profile. Its the unique profile of the 120 I think that makes it so likeable. It is softer in the grip so it feels ultra smooth, and the firmer tip still helps it keep spin at bay. IMO the shaft helps the golfer deliver the clubhead in a better way due to how they respond to the feel. But it isn't for everyone. But 120 is closer to TT DG so its more familiar than Tour130 which is fairly unique.

How do they hold up durability wise?

Aside from customizing your set and glare, which is minimal at best, can someone explain what the black shaft hype is about.

When you have black clubheads, black shafts are a must....imho

Modus 125 please

TOTALLY AGREE. Just had to get a return with callaway to replace them, a month in. Getting the normal modus now

Purely aesthetic aside from reducing glare. But they look awesome. You get a full spectrum of looks, colors, and style from graphite shafts and anything that stands out in the market is a plus for the company, and more options is a plus for consumers. I do wonder about the durability since big silver streaks would look awful on those shafts.
