Demo'd a 909DComp today with the Matrix Ozik 5 in Stiff flex. Had a few great drives with it, but it seemed a bit "loose" to me. Some big hooks/pushes that didn't seem due to the swing. Does this shaft built for Titleist play the same as the "real" Oziks? I liked how it felt in general, but thinking a step up to a Ozik 6 may be in order.

I bought a Callaway FTi with the Ozik ICON 6 in the spring. I heard the aftermarket shafts were "different" than the clubs that came with the shafts from the manufacturer. I emailed Matrix and they said they were the exact same shafts. I suspect when folks go to a shop and pay big bucks for an aftermarket shaft, they want to think it is something special. I understand this, but directly from the source, they are the same exact shafts. I can forward you the email from Matrix if you PM me your email address. These are awesome shafts and I have never hit the ball so straight. I have hit it a bit further, but never with so much accuracy.

Yes, I would recommend the matrix 6, the heavier shaft.

I have always heard that the shafts installed in the oem product is almost never the same shaft as the aftermarket version.

The stock Titleist shaft offerings are different from their exotic (extra money) cousins, but not by much. The stock shafts typically are lighter in weight and have a higher torque. For 99% of the golfing world, one of the stock shaft offerings is going to be just fine, as your average player won't know the difference.

With that said, I believe the XCON 5 has a soft tip and is lighter in weight than the XCON 6. However, it really depends on your needs. I had the XCON 6 stock shaft in my 909D3 originally and didn't care for it. I had a low ball flight and it just didn't feel good to me.

I'd probably recommend going with the XCON 6, but without seeing you swing or seeing the ball flight, it's really a guess at best. Go get fitted properly by a good club fitter is the best option.

The Matrix Ozik 5 is a lighter shaft and produces a higher ball flight. A previous post recommended the Ozik 6, the heavier shaft. This all depends on the ball flight you are wanting to achieve.

Ozik 5 for a lighter shaft (< 60g) and high ball flight
Ozik 6 for a heavier shaft(60+ g) and a mid ball flight

Hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll be able to relay some first hand opinions.

I hit a Dcomp with the Ozik 5. I was impressed with the stick but the flight was a bit high at the end an the ball would simply drop out of the sky. It was a driver that was virtually all carry.

I wanted a bit more of a parabella shot shape....not drastically different than the club tested but just a bit flatter at the peak and less decent angle that should yield more roll.

I went with the 6. I hope I did the right thing. The Voodoo just felt like too much shaft for my swing.

We'll see when the club arrives.

A "by Titleist shaft" is manufactured by the company together with Titleist to maximise the club's performance. A heavier shaft can help in your case. As deronsizemore suggested I' get properly fitted. Maybe the D2 or D3 will fit your swing better.
If the trajectory with the Ozik is too high, I would probably try the Ozik 6.

the ozik 6 is just heavier, it shouldnt do a ton to bring your ball flight down, its only like a 7-9 gram difference. if you wanna bring the ball flight down, get a code 6, or an F6M2, those will be the medium launching shafts.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      Once again… it's easier to be "consistent" when you're playing against weaker competition. Despite playing against significantly stronger/deeper fields, Jack was nowhere near as dominant as Tiger Woods was. Jack's "consistency" is a lame way of saying "I like Jack and I want to vote for him as GOAT but I can't come up with a real reason why, so I'll just say he was more 'consistent.'" If someone joined the PGA Tour, kinda muddled around for a year or two, then won 16 majors and 75 total PGA Tour events in eight years, then promptly retired… He'd almost surely have my vote for GOAT. Consistency schmonsistency.
