Experiences w/ Fujikura Rombax 6X07

[DDBowdoin]

I frequent my local range often and have gotten to know, well at least recognize the regulars. One of the regulars, whom I've never spoken too, has a decent game but the long game has always kept him back. He has an average swing speed (I would estimate 102-105), and a fairly smooth tempo.

Tonight he was a completely different beast... I noticed he had a shiny yellow shaft and eventually I saw some of the graphics and realized it was a Fujikura Rombax 6X07. Now, I know this is an ultra exotic shaft but does anyone have any experience with this shaft... specifically I'm curious what kind of upcharge Titleist would charge for the shaft.

I do not have personal experience with playing that shaft in any of my drivers, but i have hit other peoples drivers who use this shaft. I really like the feel in it and it is slightly lighter than other shafts, available in 63g-68g. It could have been that this guy you saw on the range had a heavier shaft before and when he made the switch, his clubhead speed increased due to a lighter weight. This shaft also has a torque rating similar to the proforce v2 highlanch shaft which created a little bit of whippiness when i had that shaft. Some people love that extra little whip at the top and it can also help with distance a little bit as far as I know. As far as upcharge from titleist, I don't know. obviously it would be a bit more but if you really like that shaft and you play constantly then it is money well spent. hope that helps

I just order a 909 D3 with the Rombax 7Z08 shaft. I was told the upcharge for the shaft was $150. It is a low launch, low spin shaft.

that's exactly what I was looking for...

550 for the 909D3

throw in a FW or a hybrid and thats a steep order

whats your expected shipping time?
