Nunchuk xi iron shafts review.....
Antiskell replied to Antiskell's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I agree, the fitting instructions are clear.... The biggest thing i tell people with these shafts is.....clear your mind, its a different breed of gear......we are so used to tinkering with other shafts its hard to stop. Even the best shafts, depending on your swing need to be tipped, trimmed and cut the rightnway/length/method/or whatever your can think. Inventix has given us a product that when installed properly, takes a ton of guess work out of the install. Im not speaking of guess work on the fitter's side, but consumers second guessing pro fitters.part of the nunchuk appeal to me is the confidence that i know that the variables have been removed and its ready for me to game. Its trimmed to my length, in my head, with my grip.....lets rip it and enjoy the game. Since i started using nunchuks, i started getting more cofindence, and better scores and even on bad days.....the bomber go for the par 5 in two is more fun and a better option. My scores have gotten better as more of these shafts hit the bag.....proof enough for me.... That and my drives on a TEE 3++ 11.5 fairway sail past my regular playing pals drives......they didnt with the stock shafts........the nunchuk does.... Instead of a crap shoot gong for the par 5s in two, im getting home more often than not on that second shot.......and instead of wondering i expect it Some great golf guys and fitters have said the inventix nunchuk doesnt work, but then say they havent hit it ....ever......when there is a product as unique as this you have to try it before you have an opinion..... -

Just had a private message arguement with someone regarding these shafts......bottom line.....you dont tip them, never, ever tip these. They are a butt trim only. -

Let me clarify...negative feedback that responded from my review, im surprised at......all around ive found any nunchuk user really has been really happy! i was not refering to pga show articles......those look great......people ive spoken to that just tried these things love em... Its weird people either love em and keep em, enjoy them and play them, or just come up with a reason to shoot down a new idea different from the rest.....and hate it cause a pro or friend told you to...... If you loose 5 yards but hit 3 more fairways a round ? .... Worth it...look at scoring stats for missed fairways.......girs...etc Golf is much like firefighting in many aspects for old school depts.......150 years of tradition completly unimpeaded by progress New ways of thought and abnormal ideas are only blocked by those that cannot accept change and people who fail to open their minds..... Its a new idea and design......lots of good golfers have scores and numbers to prove it. People that are used to a standard load/unload might not get it after a few swings......throw one nunchuck in an iron......slam away on a real turf range......i swear you will get it......i was a chronic tryout shaft guy that always fellback on px's. my scores got better when i switched.....and i like golf more...... The people ive spoken to regard the driver/wood or 370 hybrid.......the iron xi's perform just as well if not better. My body is torn to shreds, graphite was a submission but these shafts rock.......just spend 75 buck in an iron and get a bucket...these shafts sell themselves -

The price point is around 75 bucks a shaft. Which for a premium graphite iron shaft is in the middle price point, Oban and matrix are over 100 I believe the shaft CAN work for anyone, but not everyone will like it. Many people find it only puts them in more fairways....a really good thing. Fairways provide more roll out....hence more distance. Does it fit anyone sure....does everyone like it no....kinda like Veggies...good for everyone but not everyone likes them -
Sorry, little humor all the new adams stuff looks like taylormade gear......ugh

Looks like it might fit something made by tmag

Nunchuk xi iron shafts review.....
Antiskell replied to Antiskell's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Swing speed isnt everything.....my reference to tempo, transistion, how hard(effort) etc wasnt about head speed at impact, but in different ways a shaft can be stretched or distorted with different swing styles. If you swing agressively in a downward steep angle, i think physics would say the club head gets distorted in a different way than a slow back swing, slow transition and wide arc. There are people i know in the 95mph swing speed that fair the best with an x flex than a stiff or reg....they all have comoact violent swings and the x keeps them more online, tighter dispersion and more distance..... -

The driver/wood version is 104 grams.... I dont think the shaft fits everyone, it can work for anyone. I suppose any shaft can work for anyone. I have a suspicion the swings it feels and performs best for are fast tempo and/or violent and/or fast transitions and/or "hard swingers" -

It is heavy but its counterbalanced. I think it "feels" in the 70gram area. Not being argumenative, i've met a little over a dozen that reshafted with a nunchuk....only one switched. Also heavy isnt such a bad thing, there is plenty of proof that lighter isnt always better.....sorry to hear you and your friends had a bad go at it.... -

Just to add on, i'm not a big hitter. I've been told my swing looks like im clubbing a seal....sorry PETA. I swing hard and admit my swing is inefficiant. The good thing is it is repeatable and the scores come in just fine. I think these shafts help club head stability quite a bit. Oddly enough my 62 year old father in law with an 85-87mph driver swing speed stripes my xcg5s just fine......as does my wife that qualifies with noodle flex. If she played more, she stated she would switch. My average drive is 240-250... -
So....after playing project x iron shafts since their inception i've been stuck on them. I thought nothing could shove them out of my bag. Long story short, with horrible driver control, i switched my big stick to a tour edge exotics xcg5 11.5 3++ fairway. It seemed logical. I always played better with smaller head drivers......think lynx black cats, or original big bertha with a steel shaft. Or even further back persimmon woods that i grew/learned/gamed..... The TEE proved its value, it is longer than any 460cc ive tried and way way more accurate. On passing through my fitter's store, i noticed the Nunchuks on the rack last year. I've normally always pulled my stock driver shafts into an aftermarket and found the aftermarkets to play better. So after a little though i said "what the hell" and tried a nunchuck driver shaft. Well, there has been a ton of debate if the shaft is legit in the claims. I feel it performs amazing. If what inventix says is bunk, doesnt matter. I found my drives longer and straighter. I'm surprised when i miss a fairway at this point. Mishits are still very good, for some reason even if you slash one or chunk it a bit, you still get a decent shot. No shaft or club can make up for a bad swing, but when you arent flush, i certainly believe the nunchuck helps. I ended up with an xcg5 4 wood, also with a nunchuk, then pulled my kb hybrid shaft for a nunchuck hybrid. The nunchuk hybrid shaft also performed beyond expectations. So i started nagging my fitter about iron shafts.....come to find out they were in development and nearing release. Being nervous to leave the px 5.5s when the nunchuck xi's became available was a tough move. My first switch was my 5 iron and 9 iron.....i figured try a long iron and a short iron. Being a stout shaft i was skeptical about the feel and controllability in shorter touchy iron shots. The initial test results blew my mind. We ran rumbers with the px's rested for a day then installed the nunchuk xi's and ran new numbers. I picked up a full club length, in carry and overall distance. My dispersion tightened up. I intentinally tugged my shots left and got consistant distance, roll and carry. The graphite has an amazing feel, much like feedback of steel, but less shock. You can still feel mishits and get feedback but nowhere near the reverberation of dg's or px's. this surprised me. Even the short irons felt great. I found with other graphite shafts i have tried in the past, you loose the feeling of a shaft being "substantial". The nunchuks are smooth and substantial, normally you have to make the trade somewhere. Not with these in the least. There isnt a huge sense of loading and unloading but if you get past that, these things are buttery. My 9 iron picked up spin(10%) and my 5 iron launched lower/same spin, more distance......these shafts are definatly not like anything you have ever swung, but after 10 contacts, its a (wow! :light bulb click on:) i put them in my 4 iron through 9 iron....my advice, try these things, forget the claims, forget assumptions. Just go in with an open mind and give these a shot. Im pretty sure these are going to take off. I'll have some pictures up shortly. They are very classy, just a small burgundy graphic on a matte silver finish. The current appereance of these shafts is far away from the protos so forget the first pics you saw. Go.....try....even if you dont like them, you will appreciate what these guys have made. I have no affiliation with inventix, gerry or any other component company. Im a recreational golfer.......

Tour edge exotics 11.5* 3++ wood
Antiskell replied to Antiskell's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
This is a little bump and a little further review....i put an inventix nunchuck shaft into this head.....well my fitter did. Number one.....i have a high tempo swing with a fast transition, i love to go after the ball. I have a 2 plane swing that my pro and myself have no desire or need to change. My ball flight is a natural gentle fade. I get a nice plop and stop out of every club other than my tour edge exotics 11.5 xcg5.....my wedges suck back off if im to aggressive. Number 2, huge props to todd daigneault, my pga pro/fitter also the owner of prove it golf in wethersfield connecticut. In no way was this review prompted by him. I believe credit is due in this case. Heres my on course results....i normally hit about 28 percent of my fairways, after 72 holes im up in the 80 percentiles......i dont measure my drives by distance, but by what my second shot club choice ends up being.....my approach club is 1.5 - 2 times shorter! So what used to be driver 5 iron is now driver 7 iron ......this shaft and head combo is the real deal.... its a bomber......lesson learned.....find a fitter, not a salesman and your game will get better.....and thanks again to todd, you gave me what i needed and didnt try any funny sales gimmicks. A pro that will sell you the highest ticket based on profit is a salesman.....a pro that gets you what you need regardless of personal gain on their end is a true professional and benefit to the game. Integrity is part of golf, its a model your fitter should live by, mine does. -
Tour edge exotics 11.5* 3++ wood
Antiskell replied to Antiskell's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
The adams f11 ti in 13.5 is the only thing i have hit that comes close.....thats a great club as well, but still miles away from the tour edge exotics.... One of my value points in a club is versitility.....so the TEE 11.5 does 3 jobs for me...driver, fairway, getting me out of long distance trouble -
I don't know about the rest of you but my driver has always been the death of me. I've never strived for more distance. I'm 5'3" and carry on average about 245. It's my Acuracy that sucks. I have a two plane swing with a predictable fade. But my driver always has a bad line. I'm sick of the giant 460cc turtle on a stick heads. I have been dying for something smaller with new technology for years. I also hate most of the "made for" shafts that come attached to 300-500 clubs. My wife recently surprised me with a tour edge exotics 11.5 3 wood. All I can say is "holy $h1t!" off the tee with the stock aldila rip sigma, my carry is up 10 and my roll out is substantially longer. Off the deck, I'm up 15 yards from my Adams 13.5 f11 ti with a rip alpha. This thing bombs off tight lies. Out of the rough I'd say it's slightly above average. Once swing adjustments are made to get it up quick and the rough is just a minor inconvenience. The best part I got my old school small driver head and it's replaced my driver and three wood. It opened my bag up for one more wedge or hybrid depending on the course I'm playing. One club for the Driver and fairway bomber! On top of all this, it workable, and forgiving, with great feel. Hit it high or low, draw or fade, cut shot or dick straight...... It does it all. The stock shaft is not disappointing either. The rip sigma seems to load a little easier than the alpha and launch higher. So for those reading and lovers of smaller drivers, give this bad boy a shot! I have no affiliation with TEE but I gotta promote a great product. Driver technology is maxed out and everyone makes more distance claims. TEE tried something new and delivered on every claim they have made to me. The proof is in the pudding, the last three rounds I lower my score 4, 2 a 5 shots respectively. That's a big deal. I have made no other changes other than his club and put my 64* puglielli black back in the bag. For 300 bucks you get two amazing clubs in one......go for it! Sorry for typos I'm sending this on my iPhone from the 19th hole.....

Wow the golfwrx folks are getting nasty and resorting to name calling........what a different breed......I've about had it with the folks there.....when this shotly thing is done my wrx account goes away to......I'm tired of watching folks get picked at by self righteous pricks
-
I noticed a few people that are there are here. I also noticed them sticking up for people being picked at. I have blank or non branded head covers on all my clubs. I like when people ask me what I'm playing and I tell them top flite, Dunlop, Simon or whatever to so hot company. Then I gauge how they treat me. Shows what kind of people they are if they treat you like garbage because of the clubs you use. People are just nasty at that other place and many remind me of the people I run into on a course who think less of a guy playing crappy clubs. We have a guy where I play who hits a 100 combo set bag included and is playing to a 2 hcp.......just would rather spend his money on his membership and other things. I had a guy a few weeks ago realize I was playing Adams cb1s and f11 drivers and he actually said......why didnt you tell us you had real clubs we would have liked you more and gave you a fair shake.......I said have a nice day and walked the rest of my 18 alone with my iPod and my thoughts. Came out 3 over par......left smiling. Saw those three and I didn't ask but all they did was complain about their game and frown......regardless of score I won. Which brings us back to this thread.....decency.....shotly......has none......screwed a lot of people. People need to learn to be a little nicer to others and businesses need to give a hoot about customers. If we all did it the world would be a better place to be and golf would be even more enjoyable.

Also funny is the attitude on the other forum about this issue.....I find more people over there are alot nastier and have the "this is why I'm better than you and why you are wrong complex" I've noticed Thesandtrap.com is just more friendly in general.
-
Consumers are allowed to be hard on a business there is a lot of competition out there. Yeah shotly is getting dragged through the mudd on this but they did it to themselves. A ten dollar hat didn't get sent to 8 people by mistake......56 dollars got me 9 balls and few ball markers...sucky deal
-
Hey Ryan it's drew from fb....go over to golfwrx where Matt from shotly called the disappointed folks dumbasses.....nice business guy huh? I dare Matt or his crony to call someone a dumbass here.....where they pay for advertising.....

I have had good experiences with naileditgolf.com, I had one problem with them.....It was small and an error on their part. The customer service was excellent and I got a prompt reply. It was a tiny honest mistake and they made it right. They threw some extra goodies into my order and took the time to match the goodies with the equipment I bought. Naileditgolf is a good bunch of people, they are new and I wish them lots of luck. Just for reference it was a shipping issue.
