Fujikura iron shafts.

[mws82]

If you like x flex in the velecore wood shafts would the irons progression be the tx flex or s?

[dandoholy]

I got to try the 105X yesterday briefly.  Didn't feel as stiff as the L-series 5 but that could be just due to the weight.  Overall, I liked it a lot and I'm definitely intrigued.

[Airjenks]

Any reviews? Dying to hear some stats…

[James Cole]

Me too ... !

[Tones65]

I just received my Axiom 105 x stiff shafts and did up a 7 iron Srixon zx7 mkii compairson to my Srixon z785’s with KBS c-taper 120 stiff. Spent about half hour on the range with them today. Pretty impressive. Thought dispersion was the same, mis hits were easy on the hands and I was about a club longer. Ball flight window was a little higher bout just slightly. Will be in simulator next week to get the numbers but certainly looks very promising. I am a 4 handicap with decent swing speed.

I should have a report tomorrow on the 125x’s. Building up a set as we speak with my Miura mc-502 and vokey’s. Had to only use a few gram tip weights in a couple of the shafts to get a swing weight progression starting at D4 my 4 iron and D 5.5 in my 60.

Super interested to hear your feedback as this is set makeup and SW I would have as well.

I currently play with P7MC 6-PW and P770 5 iron with nippon 105 Stiff. Receiving my axiom 105 stiff tomorrow. Hopefully will get in couple of rounds Friday and Saturday to give some report here. Wonder how the heavy heads of p7MC feel with these.

Can’t wait to hear. Mine coming in today but not sure yet what heads to put them into so might be a week before I can decide.

First round in the books with them. Nothing like going out with a fresh build and having no idea what the numbers are. Based on my quad on the range, they launched about 1 degree higher but spun about 300rpm less than the dynamic gold X7's I had in them. My X7's were swing weighted from D6-D8, so the lighter swing weight and slightly lighter overall weight took a few swings on the range to get used to. The shaft has a great feel to them with a little bit of kick but overall super smooth feeling. Ball coming off the face felt super soft and no vibrations through the hands was a nice change to the X7's. Played both the LA golf L Series 120 5 and 6 flex before. These have a bit more feel to them compared to both, which I like. Also, they swing weight so much easier as I had to previously play my clubs at D1.5-D2 with the LA's. 

 

Overall, a big fan of them after today. I will be giving them a few more days of testing to validate my initial feelings but after I had 225 out on a par 5 today and stuck a 4 iron to 3 feet, I'd say they'll likely work. And yes, I did lip out the eagle putt and tapped in for birdie! lol 

 

If these stay in the bag, that will be 13/14 clubs in the bag with a velocore logo. I might have a problem.

“Tapped in for birdie”

 

I’ll take 4 words I’ve never said before in my entire fu*king life for $500 Alex . .

LOL. Not sure if I was more thrilled with my 4 iron shot or more upset with the ball for staying out after 1/3 of it rolled over the lip before taking a nice 90 degree turn.

Great to hear they hold up to high speeds. They sound like the X7s on easy mode?

We need velocore in a putter shaft to make it 14/14

Definitely a lot easier to move late in the round with these vs the X7's. Felt like I could go at 80% and still get the axiom to load and work properly.

What length do you play your irons at? And do you know the swing weight with the axioms?

I play them at standard. I set them with a progress swing weight. D3.5 at 4 iron and tapered to D5 with my 56, 60. I used the small graphite tip weights from Billy Bob's and only had to put 1-3 grams in about 5 of the shafts to get the swing weights consistent.

Are they as stable as the L-Series?  Currently play the MMT 125TX and it's a good shaft on stock swings, but when I go after one, I tend to lose balls to the left.

Leaned on a few today and didn’t have any go left. They have an extremely stable feel so far. Will report back more as I get more swings with them 

[zlawson36]

I currently play Modus 105 stiff, and am curious if going to Axiom 105 stiff will be too stout? I am not a fast swinger, but I feel like going to 75's in the Axiom would be too light...

Had a couple of range sessions with them over the weekend. Love them so far… they are super smooth! Was previously playing the L series shafts and I definitely prefer the Axioms over them. Perfect combo in my opinion with my new black T200 irons. Reshafted a new 50 degree SM9 also and will probably build out a new set of wedges! Looking forward to taking them out to the course this week.

very slick! Nice work. 

[KingTitus]

So after further testing, I’ll be sticking with my DG X7’s. No knock on these axiom shafts. The 125X has a very smooth feel, with a bit of a kick in the middle from what I can feel. After testing more on my quad, launch was about 1 degree higher and spin about 300rpm more vs the X7. Pretty impressive results when compared to how stiff the X7 is. The axiom worked very well for me when I was at about 85% SS. When I went after them hard, I tended to lose balls high and right. For reference I cruise around 125mph with driver and 103ish with a 7 iron. Will be posting the pulls up on BST shortly. PM if interested. Tipped everything as suggested on Fuji’s website. Played my vokeys with the following tipped:

50- 1”

56- .5”

60- 0”

Very much enjoyed the feeling the shafts, just not for me as I love the overall weight and swing weight of the X7’s across the bag.

I wish I could relate to your speed… man, that’s gotta be a lot tougher finding the right equipment!

 Add in the fact that I played collegiate baseball and have 20 years of a baseball swing engrained in my muscle memory…I could stop a 4 iron on a asphalt parking lot 😂

I can relate as I played baseball from Little League to high school.  Had the option to play college but I chose golf instead.  So glad I played baseball growing up though as that's where our speed/power comes through which translates into golf.  Not nearly as fast as you, but used to cruise at 122 in my younger years.  Now down a bit due to various injuries to my back and knees.  Where in SoCal are you located?  Also, thanks for the feedback.  Now I'm really tempted to switch over to the Axiom 125x.

I’m in north county area of SD. Grew up in Temecula and have a new house being built there now. What about you? 
 

Axioms had a great feel. I’d say very similar to the MMT’s

I grew up on hole 11 at Lomas Santa Fe CC... Went to TP high school, you?

[Airjenks]

Just snagged my axiom 125g i got them in the new zx7’s. My SS jumped a bit from last year or else I would have stuck with my older zx7’s, I love the hell outta them.

 

Anyways, only hit a bucket of balls on the range and then some on the quad indoors. Extremely stable shafts, I was shocked.. even the fitter who’s a plus handicap was impressed by the feel. Spin and trajectory were lower than my gamers noticeably. However I was spinning my 7 iron 8,000rpm’s with S steel shafts. I wanted both a lot lower and they hit the windows for sure. 
 

got a few tourneys coming up, so I won’t switch for a few weeks but I’ll give the quad a workout and try to throw some comparisons up soon.

Any reason you went the other way with tipping for the wedges? Per Fujikara wouldn't you have done 50 - straight in, 56 - .5" and 60 - 1"? I personally will most likey tip all my wedges 1" to get more of a stiffer feel through them but just curious.

[dlow206]

will probably throw Axioms into my wedges today. have the MMT scoring wedge 105 in there, which are pretty boardy in my mind.
