I tried a similar experiment with the Jumbo Max JMX Zen Light grips and graphite shafts to address persistent carpel tunnel after each round of golf. After several months I just could not swing the club consistently with a tendency to pull shots left unless I kept weakening my grip. I did hit most clubs further than with regular size grips. I resolved this issue by switching to the DriTec oversized less tapered grips and no longer experience carpel tunnel and have straighter ball flights with a neutral grip.
Custom golf works is the best place to go for a fitting. Had my first ever fitting with them. Mark and Matt are such awesome guys and definitely have fitted me into the best clubs for my game
I am playing Callaway apex 2019 I had rotary cuff surgery. I had the grind the clubs down on the back making the soles thinner. My swinging weight now is C0 first round of golf in five months. I shot three over the swing is just much easier with a lighter club.
Made the switch jumbomax grips myself about 3 months ago. I found my left had was gripping the club a little to neitral or weak and had to adjust my left hand grip a little stronger and that really helped me release the club and square up the club face.
I’m 6hcp. Changed to graphite after a year of pain in my left hand. What is good enough for Dustin Johnson and Bryson Dechambeau ( who is extremely picky and obsessed about his material) is more then good enough for me.
I switched to Fuji pro in 2018 and have a set of axioms at home to build out after my summer playing season. It’s been night and day and the shear vibration dampening is going to extend my career at least a decade. I have no issues with swing weight but I play a a standard grip plus 4 wraps and even at 117 uncut the Fuji pro 115tx swing weights well into the mid D range. I’m d5.5 all the way thru. The only problem I’ve had is bending loft back onto the irons. My srixons are 2 weak to remove the offset and have better carry numbers with a good spin profile. I lost over 1k rpm going from modus 130x to axiom 125x
Just got these irons but didn’t have the time to wait for the shafts. I went ctaper 115x and man are they stable! Dispersion is tight with a nice flight. No, they’re not axioms but lighter and stiffer shafts have already been worth the cost.
Why don’t you just rip those shafts out, put axiom 125x with jumbo max ultra light to not chance swing weight as drastically and maybe consider a step down in grip size..
There's certainly something to be said for faster swinger using lighter graphite irons shafts thanks to the increased stability. That said, with your shaft load and swing profile, it would be a hell of a lot easier to simply fit you into a steel shaft in the 130+ gram range. You don't need the extra distance of the reduced weight, you don't appear to have any injuries that require vibration dampening, and the sheer weight of the steel shaft will likely add more stability than anything offered by velocore. As far as the grips, totally up to you and you'll likely adjust to whatever choice you make. Strange to go to a jumbo grip if you fight a right miss though.
I’m actually dealing with shoulder, elbow and hip injuries from a car accident last year so the vibration dampening is helpful. I do see your point though
@@GolfmagicPlus In that case, these shafts make sense. Sorry to hear about the accident. Any reason you didn't go with the 125 gram version? This would have increased stability further and probably been an easier transition.
@@robp.7769 I swing around his speeds and the 125x just feels way to stiff for me , I’m a pretty strong dude and still it’s uncomfortable to feel absolutely no kick the 105x has I’d say 120dg x stability levels and lighter overall profile for the less elbow pain
@@CarlosRodriguez-vt2bt I'm all for the idea of going with the lightest shaft that one can comfortably swing but his swing profile in terms of shaft load and tempo would benefit from a heavier shaft. 20 grams in graphite would be a very negligible difference in terms of elbow pain. If the 125 felt too stiff, a soft step would solve the issue.
nice vid. love the axioms. went with 105x in 2i but105s in the regular irons at -.5" short. playing my irons at d2 sw. 91 7i CHS. axioms arent cheap but fortunate i didnt have to pay anything close to retail. that being said...i would still buy these if i had to pay retail. no need for me to play steel anymore at all. plus im getting older.
@@kevinmanzo862defs helps with vibration .. but the LA shafts are way more stable throughout and actually counterbalanced in a sense soo they will fit more golfers The axiom for me were odd and the bend profile doesn’t suit me ..
@@GolfmagicPlus can you make a update i seen your video on one length and was considering but now you switching back has me wondering as well as no pros really do it themselves other then of course Bryson
hope they adjusted the lie angles on those new clubs. the shaft is deflecting the toe down and the grips aren't helping, so an upright lie angle would help you square the club face.
I tested the Axion 105 X shafts and absolutely could not get on with them at all, admittedly they are much lighter and softer than my PX 6.5s but if I was ever going to switch to graphite iron shafts then these would be at the bottom of the list, I may be mistaken but I cannot name a single tour player who plays Axiom shafts which says it all really.
intresting! It won't be for everyone. I don't think a lot of tour players will make the switch but perhaps in a decade's time we'll see graphite being more prominent.
That's a pretty stupid response about why wouldn't you see a lot admature golfers using graphite iron shafts. You would be surprised how many of them play with graphite iron shafts they have gotten better with technology advancements that they come close or even better than steel shafts. So then why are you playing graphite now in your irons. Like I said pretty stupid answer. 🤪
