Graffaloy Bi Matrix and Axis

[joey3108]

Hot from the oven, come and see!!! :) Complete spec info.

I just got my samples in today.

These two shaft are suppose to reduce spinrate.

Due to 8" section of steel shaft by the tip area, Bimatrix will effect a couple swing weight point when installed or 1/4" shorter if you are trying to achieve the same swing weight w/ normal graphite shaft. The steel will stiffen up the tip section, thus it will reduce the spin rate. Because of this also the feel of the shaft at play is slightly heavier that the shaft actual weight stated.

Axis is a high end product from Graffaloy. Due to their construction technique and material, it reduced the ovaling effect...thus it stiffen up the tip area also to reduce the spinrate. This shaft will only be available through Tour Concept dealers like my self. This shaft will be available sooner that you all thought they are. They've really put their thought together on this shaft and will enter the high end market.

Both shaft has a similar raw weight

My knowledge is still limited on this two as i don't have time to test and my elbow is still not doing to good. It's killing me that the weather is getting pretty damn good here in the bay area and i can't do all this stuff.
:)
I know some of the spec of these shaft but I'ld rather give you guys the exact number from the official Graffaloy personel, As soon as the exact spec come in, I will post it here.

that 75s look tempting!!

If you want, I can test them for you! :bb: :) :ok:

[Riuzzi]

Joe, do you know what the price will be on the Axis??

Joe, do you know what the price will be on the Axis??

PM send!

they look good! :)

Joe,

 

Do you know the price on the Bi Matrix?? I might be intrested in taking one off your hands if you would part with it. Only thing is Im not sure how well it would preform in an SQ Max with it reducing spin and Ive heard the SQ Max head also reduces spin. Might not be able to get the damn thing in the air :)

Joe,

 

I am interested in the stiff Bimatrix if you are selling it. Thanks.

[MBuckler]

joe, any idea when these shaft will be retailed and for how much?

Featuring Smart-Ply™ Technology

 

* The most sophisticated, high-performance graphite shaft ever developed.

* The most complex, intricately designed shaft ever created.

* The most tested shaft in the history of golf.

* The LONGEST shaft ever introduced by Grafalloy!

 

What is Axis?

 

* Fiber oriented along multiple axes promotes improved shaft “hoop” stiffness and flex consistency at each point along the shaft. Improved hoop stiffness insures maximum integrity of shaft response during the downswing

 

* A multi-directional pre-preg is the standard method of achieving this performance benefit. As carbon fibers move as little as 10° off their intended axis their strength properties are reduced by as much as 40%

 

What Makes It Better?

 

Smart-Ply™ Technology

 

* Smart-Ply™ technology preserves 100% of the carbon fiber properties by incorporating only unidirectional, low FAW, high-modulus fiber.

 

* These unidirectional fibers are then strategically placed in multiple axes along the full length of the shaft resulting in unequalled design consistency and material integrity / performance.

 

* Grafalloy’s proprietary System 9 design model computes over 40,000 calculations per shaft ensuring unparalleled accuracy in material placement and lay-up.

 

Smart-Ply™ Technology

 

Smart-Ply™ technology positions the unidirectional carbon fiber in Grafalloy Axis along 6 separate axes…over twice as many shaft axes when compared to other designs.

 

+/- 45 Degree Fibers

 

+/- 45 degree fibers provide incredible torsional stability to stabilize the clubhead for maximum consistency at impact.

 

+/- 30 Degree Fibers

 

+/- 30 degree fibers provide for greater torque reduction while preserving valuable feel.

 

Zero Degree Fibers

 

Zero degree fibers provide consistent flexural integrity along the length of the shaft for unmatched feel and energy transfer.

 

90 Degree Fibers

 

90 degree fibers maximize geometric integrity during downswing reducing shaft ovalization. Maximum geometric integrity dramatically improves shot dispersion while allowing more energy to be transferred through the shaft to the ball at impact.

 

* Each Axis shaft is precisely and individually manufactured ensuring exact material alignment and lay up consistency.

 

* Comprehensive data tracking on each shaft throughout the manufacturing process ensures consistent design and product performance.

 

Advanced Manufacturing

 

The Results

 

* No Grafalloy shaft in history has ever received as resounding test results as final prototype test of Axis at 2005 Chattanooga Classic.

 

* Axis has already claimed 1 PGA Tour title at 2006 Buick Invitational. #1 player in the world was quoted as saying, ”I hit it 15 yards further, period.” So will most golfers….
