Axiom Iron Shaft Review 

Oooh interesting... Do you give the 2 iron a bigger smack than the rest?

@@FredzGolf yeah i like a more penetrating srixon 2i so i went with something a little stiffer. i could easily play 105x in the main iron set as well but both flexes work well. Fuji did a great job. Basically all weight classes can work of a player. just depends on what that player wants. i could play the 125x too but i didnt want that weight profile.

Same!! They're a beast of a shaft haha 😄

The C-Taper does well in fittings once someone is fired up and warm - numbers are good... then on the course it's not always a flat out shot in front of you so you're completely right I think!

@@FredzGolf i ended up swinging the c-taper after the axiom and felt like I was swinging a baseball bat with the weight difference.

Ooft C7!!! Mental how they can get that so wrong 🫣 I do see some awful specs in strange places 😬 onwards and upwards anyway ...let me know how you get on with the new shafts!!!

Thanks for sharing. I had a hassle with Titleist but Mizuno was much better. I think manufacturers should make heavier heads because 90g to 105g graphite shafts are the new standard for the average golfer and we still need D range swing weights. I'm excited for all the options and all the joints saved with graphite lol.

UPDATE - Approaching now 1 month in with the Axioms 105S installed on 6-PW. So I will say this, when you first switch from steel to graphite in your irons, you're going to lose distance and contact quality at first because the feel is different. It took me about 1-2 weeks of range sessions to acclimate to the new shafts because my swing tempo and even address needed to change a bit. It was a little disheartening leaving the range the first few times like "I can't hit irons anymore" 😞 but I knew it was just temporary and acclimating to the new gear. However, now that I've adjusted, the Axiom's are proving to be what they are marketed as which is that your left-right dispersion is much tighter, and I'm starting to love them. Couple things I noticed with the Axiom 105S's. 1) Tempo and transition is everything. While the 105S are stiff they are not unlimited stiff, and if you transition too hard at the top, the shaft will flex and you will get more shaft droop which will change your contact point. You'll need to have more of a Fred Couples type swing to hit the 105S's because if you go at these with a Bryson DeChambeau type swing, they will bend on you and you'll need to go to the X. 2) These shafts will expose your swing flaws - you get nothing for free with these shafts in terms of distance. I have TM Stealths on these which are stronger lofts and first thing I noticed was that my distances got 5-10 yards shorter on all clubs coming from the stock Dynamic Gold's. I regained the distance once I started turning back more in the backswing. I constantly have to remind myself that when I hit a short shot, it's because I didn't shoulder-turn enough in the backswing and got choppy. So my personal summary is this...Velocore in general, including the ones in my driver and woods, will tighten your dispersion, but at the cost of a little distance. That is because the shaft is not kicking as much which is what they are built to do, but your swing will need to adjust by turning back more. One more thing that I think is helpful, if you are considering the 125X's, just know that the true weight is closer to 132g, which is a considerably heavier. I think eventually Axiom will release a 115g because it's a large jump in dry weight between the two options.

@@JohnnyRad769 Interesting summary!! ...do you know what sort of spin rate you're getting with a 7 iron by chance? And with what type of ball? 🙃 There could be an easy crease to iron out 😁

Hey@@FredzGolf, hope you're good bud. It think my 7 iron spin is around 5500-6000 last I checked, I hit outside since I live in Florida, but I should probably go re-check my numbers. For balls I use Titleist ProV1 and Tileist Velocity mostly. Thoughts?

In data, yes, but not in feel :) ....A larger pool of data would generally be more fades/right with the C Taper as it's so much heavier ...Once you use the same shaft for a while you dial in to the feel of it.. while I'm flicking from one to another constantly, with such a difference in weight, I'm battling the feels each shaft presents :) but yes, quite close in launch! The Axioms play stiffer than they say

Indeed 😋 ...I think the Axiom are a catagory of their own haha

the thin strikes have to have something to do with the 125x spin being my high

@@davishall9150 absolutely - thin strikes increase spin - I think I ignored the worst one from the averages ...I got similar strikes with the Axiom 125X and higher spin so that direct comparison is more relevant 👌

@@FredzGolf what if I need height, and I am low ball hitter, what graphite shaft I need?

@@goutfromfriedokra Hard to say with limited info.. what shafts have you currently got? and what heads? :)

I have an MMT shaft handy so ill get the comparison on my todo list :)

@@FredzGolf amazing man cheers 🍻

105X - with extra length, I tend to lean towards a flex up ...Still lighter than your existing 130X - that's a decent 4 iron 👌

Kyle, what did you end up going with and what are your results?

​@dustinmashburn3498 105s. I wanted the x but the place I bought them from had me ship my clubs in to install the shafts. And they were out of the x. So they hardstepped the 105s. Still getting used to. I enjoy hitting them. I gained distance , swinging easier, smoother and my spin lowered which I needed. Pretty happy. Soft but stable. Much easier on the body as well.

@@kylehoog4621 thats good to hear. I'm a little surprised about the spin lowering. My spin went up a little bit when I hit the 105x compared to c-tapers.

The reason ask, I understand every Axiom shaft has been PUREd and the graphics on the iron are put on based upon the SST alignment. Every person I’ve seen that uses the axiom shaft has the Velocore logo running down the back of the iron (facing the golfer). You have the Velocore logo installed facing to the right or facing away from the target. Doesn’t that matter?

I install them 👍 these ones I put in to Srixon demo adapters so I can do custom fittings for them in various Srixon heads 😎

I've had a few people like yourself ...I think the 105S is just as stable and so much easier to use ...Could go 105X if you go flat out most of the time - 105S makes the half shots a lot easier to produce and no drawbacks as far as I can tell when stepping on it

@@FredzGolfokay good to know. Yes rn, it feels like I have to take a big swing to make the KBS work for me. I’d like to have a little more finesse with my irons, sounds like the 105s would be a good call. Thanks

I went and just switched from the c-taper 130x to the 105x (6-gap) then I put the 105s in my 4. I switched for more spin, and a little relief on the joints/back from swinging and carrying the heavy c-tapers. 😂

@@FredzGolfI sure hope I like the x after reading this comment lol.

@@dustinmashburn3498 Absolutely LOVE that set up 😋

I've got them in my wedges and they are sniper rifles ...I hit 116 carry on the nose 5 times in a row 🤣 The swing and the club were on point but I've never done that with another shaft 😇

@@FredzGolf I was hoping you wouldn’t say that 🤣 damn, this ish is about to get expensive.
