Just a quick note to the guys installing tips....the logo denotes the NBP (Neutral Bend Point).  I always install my shafts with the NBP facing the target (9:00 for a RH golfer).  Padersons PDF says to install the shaft logo down to "position strongest wall relative to the target"  but, I think you get a more consistent shaft placing the NBP towards the target.  Just something to consider.

Mine is due early next week. So I will need to order a tip from TMag. That's fine, looking forward to it.

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

Okay it's ordered - just my luck they are located in Florida so I'll get them sooner and I get to pay tax. :)

 

Thanks to Mr. Theoo also.

 

BTW I got a great email from Jason today that included instruction for installation.

So, I got the Email from Jason today telling me what shaft I will be receiving. They are sending me a:

 

KINETIXx Loaded KEVLAR GREEN KG860-D20-2 ~250cpm

 

This denotes a regular flex by their standards. My current shaft is a Matrix Ozik Red Tie 6Q3 Stiff flex. The numbers on these shafts are quite different. Needless to say, I'm quite curious on how these two shafts will compare to one another. I talked to my fitter today, who is going to help me set up the shaft based on the numbers we get out of the Red Tie. I would love to get some good numbers from this thing!

They have me getting a KG860-D30 ~ 255cpm, which is awesome because I have been frequency fitted before and it was 255. I can't wait to see how it reacts. I did ask Jason about the TMag fixed system in relation to the branding and here is his reply.

 

"The shaft should be in the adapter so that our logo is visibly inline with your optimal adapter setting relative to the direction of insert. 

 
In other words in a TMaG adapter, if standard was your optimal setting then our branding would be inline with this. This would position logo down/under.
 
For all intent and purpose, the logo will remain under in all systems. 
 
However in a TMaG or PING adapter, any change in adapter setting will affect position of our logo. 
 
Don't worry however, our shafts are the worlds most concentric. Therefore even with an adapter setting adjustment, in a fixed system like TMaG, it won't make too much of a difference. "

**May the fade be with you**

jmwils81, I see you are getting the D30. Looking back on the "Testers Wanted" post, we are about the same swing speed (100-105) neighborhood. I wonder why it is we would be receiving different shafts. I have pretty smooth tempo with my driver, slight pause at the top building speed through the swing, so hopefully the softer flex shaft will jive with my swing. Just looks like to me that the D30 is closer in spec. to my Red Tie. I don't want to look too much into it and become apprehensive. Hoping to be surprised with the results. Testing will tell.

From what Jason told me, they play pretty stiff to flex. That may not be true but a 5 cpm difference doesn't seem to be a ton to me.

Looks like I'll be getting the KB972-D20-1 ("R") ~235cpm

 

Full specs from their website are: 

Model         Flex  Flex Code Torque Tip DIA.   TIP/PAL BUTT DIA. BUTT/PAL LENGTH WEIGHT FREQUENCY           MATERIALS

KB-972D20   R        D20         4.4°   8.50mm    3.00"    15.50mm   13.00"          46"        67g        240cpm        40T, 30T, BlueKevlar, 3K Fiber

 

Weight (63g) and torque (4.5) for the Fujikura EXS 6.0 R shaft I currently have in my driver are similar.

I hit a bucket of balls with this shaft and played 27 holes today. Mine was also an R Flex. It was plenty of shaft, and did not seem too weak at all. I would tell more about it but you will have to wait for the review.

The specs for mine aren't on the website or at least won't pop up for me when I click on it. The email said this was the shaft they were sending me 1@ KG860-D40 "X" ~276cpm

Jason also said that they have a bunch of long drive guys in their shafts, although he didn't say who. Seems they are making a decent name for themselves to be a very New company.
