Anyone hit this shaft? I have a 105 ss and like a heavier weight.  I would normally play a heavy stiff shaft but this only comes in 65 which I think is too light.  How's the 80x going to play?  Would I be able to handle it with my ss?

80 X might be a bit much for 105mph.  I'd look at other shafts, I'm sure you can get an 80 gram stiff from Fuji, Aldila, Diamana, etc.

Check out the Grafalloy website (currently under revision). At this time, Bimatrx info is included in a PDF of its current products.

Shaft has high bendpoint and low torque (2.0). R and S weigh in at 65 grams, X at 80.

BiMatrx Tour Prototype combines the best of both worlds in materials

and performance. The ultralight graphite BiMatrx body joins with a steel

tip section for ultimate distance and control. BiMatrx also has the unique

combination of allowing golfers to increase driver loft by as much as 30%

while offering a 20% reduction in spin rate. This high launch and low spin

blend delivers incredible carry and roll. BiMatrx is loved by tour players

around the globe and was in the bag of the 2012 Masters champion.

The promo promises high launch and low spin, but a high bendpoint in a shaft normally generates a slightly lower launch. I'll let others sort this out.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • 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.
