REVIEWS: Fujikura ATMOS Tour Spec Testing. Read what member testers say.

[Fujikura Golf]

On your website, you do not list a 6TX or 7TX as an option. There are a couple of them on eBay. Are these tour issue only or what's the deal? Any idea on the raw weight on the 6TX and 7TX?

 

TX model shafts are our Tour stock model of the ATMOS TS Black series. This is a way for us to know that the shaft came from the Tour Department. Note: These found on ebay should not be for sale on ebay...

Can you tell us the difference between the black 6x and Black 6tx for example? Also could one get this through a charter dealer? I love my 8tx in my fairway and want a 6tx for my driver, but would prefer not purchase items that are being sold against your wishes or from individuals not licensed to do so.

Go up a few posts. I spent a great deal of time with Fujikura Techs over the summer discussing this exact thing and took copious notes. I outlined the majority of it above.

Another AMAZING driving day at the golf course, this time with the Epic GBB head (I have since sold my Sub Zero) with my ATMOS. Its still in the -1/Draw setting, same as my SubZero. However, the swing weight on this combination is D1 at 44" while my SubZero came in at a D6 in the same shaft.

 

I think the shaft performed phenomenally with both heads & differing head weights. It really felt good, no looseness. Unloading was SO MUCH FUN, if I decided to crank it, no worries.

 

 

But the Epic GBB suits me better with the sliding weight on the draw setting than my SubZero. I think I am longer with the lighter weight and the more draw setting, hitting more fairways with roll.

 

I was just crushing it against my foursome. The course I was playing was one I have not played in a long time but I use to play it alot many, many years ago and to see the ball end up where it did (even compared to my younger days with longer drivers), it was astonishing to me. On 2 holes I said to the guys, I can't remember the ball ending up this far... no wind, air was a little cold so it was pure swing.

 

I was blown away. Epic GBB and ATMOS makes a very lethal long combo for me, at least.

 

ps 44" is the shortest of all the drivers I have owned and I used to play 46" drivers so its saying a lot the energy transfer & better contact with the shorter shaft vs longer shafts. IMHO.

 

Jus luvin my ATMOS :)

So, retail: Atmos Black 6X, 7X, HB 9X... but 8TX.

 

Why the TX?

:) its just interesting that i go back to some courses that i have not played in a long time and see where the drives end now. no one is getting any younger so while i still have my health, strength and flexibility, i'm going to take advantage of the latest tech in the heads and shafts to enjoy this game with my regular 4some.

 

Mind you, the only thing that this driver combo has not taken yet is my all time best of 344 off my Taylormade Superfast TP and Fubuki Tour at 46". That was a long time ago. I had aa SkyCaddie to track the yardage and a Droid X to take the photo but alas, the photo has gone. That was before cloud storage.

 

I've sniffed a 327 with this combo on that same course last year. So I'll take whatever the swing gives me,

 

Luvin my ATMOS :)

They are the same shaft just labeled differently. Apologies for the confusion. TX was not intended to be retail release for 60g.

Did this change at some point? The information that I posted above was shared with me by an extremely knowledgable and trustworthy member of your technical staff just a few months ago.

Looks like JB Holmes has a Black 9TX in the bag...

 

Hey Fujikura, what would it take to get my hands one of these? I've been looking for a modern 90g+ fairway shaft, and this would be PERFECT :)

Count me in for the requesting/begging. It really would be a great 5w shaft, could use more loft too and still avoid balloons

Count me in also. I liked my 8TX but always liked heavier shafts in the 90g range

[getitdaily]

Anyone happen to have compared the hb lines against the v2 hybrid and can share launch and spin numbers?

[Gtyler14]

I can’t compare the two lines but the atmos black 9x hybrid is legit. It’s a great solid and stable shaft and took everything I threw at it.

What hybrid head do u have it in? And what is your carry yardage with it?

[Gtyler14]

I had it in a m2 lift. I played it at 39.75 so it fit into my playing lengths and wasn’t longer like a DI is but I never hit it on a monitor so I’m not sure on carry but I’d say 255-265ish based off a particular hole I play and yardage in on the 2nd taking in some roll.

[awtryau89]

Well I broke my Atmos Black. I must admit it was a user error. Bad drive and slammed the club head down. I guess I am going to be on BST today sniping.

Yeah, it was a good run and I still really appreciate GolfWRX and Fujikura for allowing me to be a tester. Haven't found a new one yet but I am patient. One will pop up soon.

[cj4501]

Putting a atmos black 9s in my maltby hdi 2iron. Hopefully a good combo!

I recently had a driver fitting. I had no idea which shaft I'd end up in. I've been following this thread leading up to the fitting and I was hoping to test it out. I was playing a really great shaft heading out there (KK DC TX) and didn't think anything could top it for me. It was such a great combination of low spin, feel and dispersion.

 

After one swing, I knew this shaft was different from anything I've played before. I have a few rounds in now and it just gets better and better.

 

We're going to need that 90 tx Fuji:)

[Fujikura Golf]

Wow, lots of demand for the 90 gram...very cool to see! I will be passing your feedback/requests along to my sales team and will keep everyone posted.

 

You guys really rock. We at Fuji are obviously huge fans of ATMOS Tour Spec (we're biased), but to see you guys continue to get fit into them, like the performance and show the love in this thread, we can't thank you enough.

Good stuff to hear from you guys. I loved my 8TX in my fairway but sold it to get the p95x but if you put out a 9tx then I’ll have to get one to put in my 3 wood

[Fujikura Golf]

Hi Guys. I have a quick update after speaking with sales and Tour teams: the 90 gram TX are still super limited for us and allocated for tour only right now. If we move to sales inventory I will keep you guys posted ASAP.

Where can I get a 7tx and 9tx?!...I have the 7x and love it

[Gtyler14]

You won’t be getting a 9tx but the TX is just tour stock and Fuji says it’s not dffierent than the X

[mackepa]

I think I'll be putting my 7X Black from the review in my 3 wood this year. I used it here and there this year with pretty good results but I think it's a hair too stout for me. Should be an awesome fairway shaft when im looking for some control off the tee.

So their is literally no difference t between a 7tx and the 7x I have in my f8+?
