I don't have the x-stiff but I have it in 2 different drivers in stiff and regular and love them both. It definitely plays stiffer than stock oem shafts, but that seems to be true for any aftermarket shaft. I'm not very saavy when it comes to shafts, but i found a good review on it at the golfwrx site that convinced me to buy it.

I don't have it in x-stiff but I have the Tour 75 in stiff in my Titleist 983E. Let's just say I won't be changing anytime soon. Fantastic shaft. Haven't tried the standard ~68g version but the T75 is fabulous. No longer than many other premium shafts but I find the distribution much tighter than anything I've had before; worth it for the improved accuracy I get if nothing else.

The feel is excellent, ball flight is probably mid-launch (ish) and distance is excellent; I find it similar in distance to the 60-70g graphite shafts I've used in the past even though it's heavier.

If you're fitting it yourself, be a bit careful with the tip preparation.

I have the epic in x-stiff and absolutely love it. It's very stiff without being a board meaning that it allows for a lot of feedback. Plus the look is awesome. I also had mine pured though and feel like has helped quite a bit as well. I put mine in a Ping Rapture.

Put this shaft in my TP burner and mann am i killing it. The shaft more than anything is incredibly workable, ive also seen more distance and a higher ball flight which is interesting moving from an pluss stiff to an x. Regardless im killing it with this new shaft and glad i made the switch

Result!

Anyone know how it feels compared to the original Grafalloy Blue? How does it "load" up?

Not sure how it compares to the Blue as I've never used it but my T75 loads beautifully. Feels great but very tight - if I really go after one it still behaves very well. The Epic is quite a bit higher launch I think than the Blue; might not suit everyone.
