Mizuno Shaft Optimizer

[verse214]

Has anyone tried getting a fitting using the new shaft optimizer from mizuno?

I guess you hit a few balls and it will suggest 3 shafts plus whether you should soft or hardstep them - not sure how accurate this is but some info would be appreciated!

I saw this in golf digest....it said alot of places dont have it yet...mostly in the south

Tried it over the weekend. You swing the club 3 times and then it averages a few readings and recommends a shaft for you to try.

I don't remember all the numbers but I know one had to do with tempo and another was swing speed.

Then the rep asked what club you wanted to try and was able to make a club up with the different shafts to see which you liked best.

Thanks for the response -

Did you end up getting a set??

This sounds like a good idea. I saw a video on the internet showing how they do it. Hope they get the units out to the local stores soon.

i used this when i got fitted for my 710 MB's i took 3 swings with and had a 6 iron swing speeds of 90,91 and 92 so i was pretty consistant and in the end he suggestes that i went for the DG X100 to help lower my ballflight and tighten my shot dispersion

I played around with this today as I already have a set of MP-52s and wanted to see how it compared. Sure enough, I was fit once again for the shaft that I have been playing for the past year. What was cool was I could try my shaft on some different heads. I liked the 58s, 62s and was drooling over the 68s ( but I 'm not good enough to game them...yet!). It was nice to know that the clubs I have have a many more rounds in them.
