UST ProForce AXIV CORE 69 review?

[8602081]

I am sorry if this is a repost.

I posted a question earlier, but I don't see it on the list..

 

I want to know if anyone have any experience with UST ProForce AXIV CORE 69 shaft.

The reviews have 0 posts, but I'm sure someone here has used the shaft.

 

Thanks

Which AXIC Core shaft? Red, Blue, Black, or Green?

[HighDraw]

I hit the 69g red shaft into a launch monitor and it gave me the best numbers out of all the shafts I tested. My swing speed is 110. Haven't tried it on the course yet, but my new driver actually arrived today so I can let you know more after I hit it for real. Of all the shafts I tried during my fitting, the Axivcore felt the best out of them all.

I've had the 69g Axivcore Black in my Cleveland Hibore XL for about a year or so now, so I can only speak about that one. I really like it. Nice stability and consistent feel and gives me a good launch. The only thing is that with it being a 69g shaft and the HIbore XL head being a little heavier it feels heavy, especially compared to the new light weight or lighter weight clubs. I have had 3 different people tell me my driver feels like a sledge hammer. But I really like it and thats all that matters. I would recommend it.

+1 - I have been using this shaft in a G15 Driver for a few months - very good dispersion and feel. My SS is 109.

I have the Red in the G15 and really like it. I hadn't been crazy about the feel previous iterations of the V2. But this one feels really smooth to me. It just gets up and goes with a nice piercing trajectory.

I've played the Black 69 for a while, and sometimes it launches a little too high for my liking. I really like the Red 69, though - great feel and launch/spin.

I bought a FT9 on ebay, impulse buy.
9 degree with the shaft. I'm hoping it's Red, but I don't know.
It just says series.

update:
I did a search on ebay for UST I-Mix.. Only shaft I see is Blue.

Anyone have experience with Blue?

[pdaero]

The Blue is high launch, mid-high spin. Spun like a top for me. More than likely, it's the Blue unfortunately. You could probably find some other imix shafts to play, or resell it.

I installed an i-mix adapter to a RED and played it for a while. I have also hit the Black.

Green is lowest launching, then Red, then Black, then Blue. Black and Blue are high launch, Red is mid-high launch, Green is mid to lowish mid launch.

My results:

Did not like the black- too high launching for my swing.

The red was better, but still a little too high launching. The AXIVCores feel completely different to the older ProForce V2's. The AXIV's are really "smooth" feeling, but I also thought they were a bit "loose", and my accuracy suffered somewhat as a result.

The older V2's are a much better feeling and better performing shaft for me, but I prefer the feel of tip-stiff shafts. I actually like a shaft that feels a bit "boardy". I am sure I am in the minority, but feel is personal.
