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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
