Yeah, but you said "re Mitsubishi shafts", not Matrix.😁

I have a Matrix 5m3 & 7m3 on the way. They go in the Z545.

    I've been using the Radix for a while now and think it's great. Doesn't get a lot of love, but it should!

      mulegolf ......let us know how those Bassara blue iron shafts play out for you. Thanks.


      I expect that they will be fine. The hybrids came with them already and I like the way they play so far.
      It will likely be sometime in April before I get to use them... I live in Minnesota and don't plan to go south.

      Add two wraps of the painter's tape ( slightly thicker ) if you use air to install the grips. It'll be fine.
      Dip the opening end of the grip in mineral spirit before you slip it on the shaft, piece of cake.


      I may try installing with air but I don't have the normal grip air installer tool and being a cheap "bastage"
      I'm not likely to pay $40 for one either. I messed around with just using a hose connector male end inserting it into the hole in the end of the grip last year to remove a grip (mixed results). I've never tried to install a grip with air but I may do so after ordering a couple of extra grips to practice on. I may try removing the existing grips from the steel shafts I'm replacing as I just installed them this past spring. If I still had the pressurized grip remover that shoots grip install fluid between the grip and tape I'd do it that way as I've done that many times. I guess I've got a quite a bit of time to decide as It's only February and no golf here until likely mid April or so.

      Provisional it boils down to what style stout you like ..... Nitro/milk Stout, which guiness is vs. a more standard stout and then an imperial Stout (a heavy duty standard stout but typically with a high abv....Anytime you see imperial check the abv if you plan on having several as it makes a difference....Lots of imperials surpassing 10% and the some). It's got all the things I look for in a stout, roasty, coffee, and chocolate....It's def not for the faint of heart, thick and tasty, one to enjoy.

      I used to be a guiness lover (still do like it) but once I started sampling other stouts and imperials, realized how complex the other styles can be.

      The family and I are down in Wisconsin dells for the weekend and the one redeemable quality about this place is the showboat, which has a kick ass tap beer menu....The hilites today- founders Lizard of Oz a bourbon barrel aged stout (for the sake of not going on forever, I'll leave the bourbon barrel aged stouts out of this discussion), founders breakfast Stout.....My bro had the nitro breakfast Stout....They had both styles on tap.,.Both good, but the non nitro version is $, probably the most intense coffee taste in a stout, that I've tried while still being enjoyable to drink.

      Nitro/milk - very creamy and mild, less roasty vs. their standard and imperial bros.

        That's quite a recommendation . I'm not beer sophisticated as all that, but for me stout beer is too heavy alone. I visited England several times when I was employed and was introduced to them while there. I found that I preferred a mix of half and half, with fish & chips usual fare & in Manchester & definitely learned Brits can drink about anyone under the table. Good stuff though.

        Not many opportunities in deep south for such on tap, but instead there's lots of micro brewery samplings. Most not so great . If ever I get chance at Imperial stouts I'll have a shot at it. Thanks for the info .
        Back on subject , my driver shaft install with Mitsubishi Rayon Bassara E series from DTG into my 12* G15 is a nice performing combination . Very pleased with feel, good penetrating trajectory , good carry , roll out, good dispersion . I thought I needed more active tip but a change in my swing brought out the performance characteristics I want .
