chemclub Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Great article John. Curious, do you think the HZRDUS shaft will move the casual golfer who issued to looking for TM, Callaway, etc... It makes gear heads like us stand up and take notice (maybe that is enough to move the needle for Srixon), but the casual golfer is more looking at the head I would think.

It makes gear heads like us stand up and take notice (maybe that is enough to move the needle for Srixon), but the casual golfer is more looking at the head I would think. I would also like to ask if the HZRDUS Black is too much shaft for most of the market? I know you can get the red or yellow for no upcharge but the majority of people will order stock. This seems like an aggressive shaft choice for most of the market. Could the fact that the shaft is too strong for most skew the LM numbers out of Srixion's favor? Srixion already said that the 785 is the best fit for most golfers so I am going off of the 785.

RickyBobby_PR Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 That's true - despite the fact you have two major winners in the group. Matsuyama needs to bag it (they say he's VERY, uhhh, particular?) and win a major. Tee to green he's as good as anyone, even if he does get pissed at excellent shots. He hasn't played much from them in driver other than a Japanese model a few years ago. The cost to have him on contract for the driver was too high and for the price they could pay 5 guys to play their ball instead. It will be interested if they get him on contract for the driver at a minimum at the top of the bag Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same think about the black but then changed my mind because they are offering multiple nonupcharge shafts so even thought theâ€stock†configuration is black the fitting carts would have all or a majority if the free upgrades to find the right fit. I think wha having this as the “stock†configuration will do is squash any of the is this the real deal or made for conversation or maybe even “the non handcrafted plays different than the handcrafted version†comments Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
