Fujikura Axiom, anyone hit these yet?

i see you have steelfiber in your wedges, do the axiom feel similar? I have modus 105s and need some direction

I just realized that I did not really answer your question.  No, Axiom and SF CW don't feel similar to me.  SF feels closer to Modus than Axiom does, but in irons I strongly prefer Axiom to anything else I have ever used.  The accuracy and consistency is worth paying for, just have to find the right weight.  I wish they would make a 115g s or x

I appreciate the info. Sounds like a need to demo an Axiom to see for myself. Currently have Modus 105s in the irons and Tour Spinner in the Wedges, but honestly those are just heavy for me. Definitely need something lighter, thanks

Step 1. Hit 5 balls with each shaft

Step 2. see no real difference

Step 3, just happen to have an entire set of shafts laying around

Step 4. Reshafts his irons anyway

 

could these YouTube reviews be any more fake?

hi guys, 

 

sorry if this has been covered already but have any DG X100 users switched to Axiom?

 

if so, did you go to 125X? how does it compare to X100 in terms of flex, feel, spin/launch, etc.

 

 

thanks!

Just got done with my first test of an Axiom 105x in my T150 4iron (which had an X100 soft stepped previously). Swing weight, surprisingly, came out the same. But the Axiom version feels lighter. Overall, the Axiom iron feels faster, lighter, smoother and is much easier on the body on mishits. Solid strikes feel really powerful. Despite those benefits, I would say my overall numbers (distance, launch, spin, etc.) were very comparable to the X100, but the Axiom does give me a bit more swing speed potential if I really want to go after one.

 

I am considering adding more Axioms into my set, but will do more testing first. I am also quite sure I would go 125x in the rest of the set, and limit the 105x to the 4iron. The lighter feel works for that club but I think I would want a touch more stability and heft in my other irons.

Did you follow standard tipping instructions and go with a tipped LP shaft?  I'm getting close to working up the courage to get one of these for my ZX Utility 4, and was kind of leaning towards trying to "hard step" it with an untipped MP shaft.  Normally an X100 player and very comfortable with them in longer irons.

Standard tipping, which for the LP in a 4i-iron is 1 inch.

Man oh man, I bought a wedge set with these shafts because I wanted to try them out.

Literally 1st swing holed out for eagle on 1 from 110 yards. 
 

I now have them in 8-Pw + plus my 3 wedges. They’re lighter but just as stable as my X flex c taper lites I’m coming from. Ball flight is awesome for me. I will be slowly building out 4-7 once I can afford more lmao.

Can anyone give a good comparison of modus tour 105s to an Axiom 105s?  Trying to decide if I like the modus but want graphite if the 105s straight in would be comparable from a stiffness standpoint.

The Axiom’s feel and play much stiffer than the Modus do IMO.  Launch was a little lower with Axiom’s.  I think the MMT’s would be a better match to the Modus as the MMT’s feel a bit smoother than the Axiom’s.  I wasn’t a big fan of the Axiom’s.

Currently play KBS $ taper 120. Thinking of trying the 105S. Anyone have any recommendation or feedback comparing the two?

I haven't been up to date on the Axioms, but I was on a very different online vendor websites and noticed they had a taper tip option.  For example Peoples Clubs offers both a .370 tip and a .355 taper tip.  Is the taper tip version just the vender doing tip prep or is there a dedicated taper tip version available now direct from Fuji?

Dedicated taper tips.

How’s everyone doing with their Axioms? Considering trying these in my next set. Have hit the MMT 105X and play Modus 120 X. SS avg hovers around 88 -90 with a 7 iron.

Joined the Axiom crowd. Was fit the other day and had 3 shafts to choose from since my swing is very repeatable. Axiom for feel for me beat out PX io and DG mid. Did like all three but Axiom just really stable and smooth. Can’t wait to get them on the course when I get them in a few weeks!

keep us posted

Where did you see this info? I can't find Fujikura releasing that they now have a OE taper tip Axiom

[ob1soccer]

curious to know that that since Fuji dont offer a 95 gram option what are players going with that are using something around the 105-110 weight category? I want to try something lighter then my Modus 105 but not sure if going to a 75 gram shaft is a good idea. Maybe the weight and feel of the axiom at 105 will be what I am looking for. 

What would players choose that are using a steelfiber or recoil 95?

I would recommend Dart 105 instead of Axiom for someone playing $ Taper. Stiffer mid section in the Dart and I think they feel a little better than Axiom. Axiom will have a softer mid and stiffer tip.

I questioned them because I noticed the “Axiom” script being 1/2” subsequently lower on each shaft where the “Velocore” script being in the same spot. They told me they ship Taper tip to OEM’s and the 3 tier parallel tip ones to builders.

100% confirmed. Ordered a Axiom to try in my 7iron from Peoples Golf and told me the OE tapers were slightly delayed and asked if I wanted to wait or have them prep a parallel tip. I asked to wait, so they do exist! 

[freddy1682]

Curious if anyone has tried these in a single length set? With the 3 different profiles, would you suggest sticking with the mid in all clubs? Or would you fit the profile to the individual iron?
