Matrix Ozik mid-launch shaft question(s)

Bayou Kato · March 15, 2014

Been gone for awhile … back, now that I'm 'retired' and about to play more golf having moved to 'heaven' (Naples FL). And as I return, I come with a question.

I really like the stock shaft in my Adams Insight Tech 9015d -- it's a Matrix Ozik 60gram (in Stiff). I also like the Matrix Ozik 6Q3 that comes in the Cleveland 588 Custom (also in Stiff). I also play a cut-down shaft -- 43.75" -- cut from the butt-end. I'd like to put a shaft similar to either into a Ping Rapture V2 head and see if I like that combo too.

However, I'm having OEM shaft disconnect. The "old" Ozik in the Adams club is outdated -- if I want that, my best bet seems to buy an old used 9015d and have the shaft pulled. I can do that, of course. I looked at the Matrix Website and the 6Q3 (Red Tie) doesn't have the same specs as the one made for Cleveland; the 'Red Tie' is heavier (67.5g versus 58g), with less torque (3.1 versus 5.5). All of these shafts call themselves 'mid-launch/mid-spin' … me likey.

I know the Ping Rapture V2 has a .350in head … I'll be taking this to a 'pro' to be re-shafted and he will either use a ferrule or a shim.

So … any recommendations for a Matrix shaft similar to the ones I like?

I play a Matrix RUL and love it. Its a mid launch mid spin profile. Very soft feeling, yet very stable. My SS is 95-100. The 60 series RUL S flex will weigh 62g uncut at 46" so after cutting it, it should be in line w/ what you have now.

If you want, I have a complete listing of Matrix shafts on a spreadsheet. The information was given to me by Matrix. It is very very helpful. Just PM me your email address, and I will get it to you. Meanwhile, here is the RUL specs:
