hey i was just wondering-does anybody have any experience hitting a fujikura Zcom shaft? im not so interested in buying one, but i saw them on several tour issued clubs on ebay and was interested. Does anybody know the bend profile, or player who they would be best suited for. i think there r several types, but i dunno the difference between them...

asianpsuation,

The Zcom series is the easiest of all shafts to decipher. Z-Com stands for "Zone of communication." The first letter in the shaft's name is the area where the shaft is most soft, it is stiff in others. I wish other companies would take Fujikura's idea and incorporate it, they even go so far as to place the bend profile in graphics on the shaft. The B zone is the stiffest overall, but its predominant bend is in the butt section, it is stiff in the tip. Great shaft for golfers with a long swing arc, smooth transition and a very late release of their wrist cock. it's a tough shaft to fit into. The M zone is only avialable as an ultra light (54g) at retail although heavier weights are available to the tour. It's stiff in the tip, and butt while being soft in the midsection. Great shaft for golfers who are inbetween, medium swing arc, medium transition, medium wrist cock release. The T zone is stiff in the butt and midsection and softer in the tip. Outstanding fairway wood shaft, it's a good fit for golfers who have a short, compact swing arc, an aggressive transition, but a semi-early wrist cock release. Very high quality shafts, but the installation is crucial due to a very long tip section. Not a shaft I would ebay or buy from any clubbuilder.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
