KJ Choi - What Fuji ZCOM is this?

[Springbok]

I know of the TW and MW ZCOMS. This looks like a ZCOM SIX. Anyone know the details?

 

 

 

[bg1]

The ZCOM Six is a lightweight (51,53,56 grams) shaft, 4.5* torque, low spin, mid/high bend and launch. From Fujis site.

that's a BIG difference between(weight and especially torque) compared to KJ prototype Ozik..

That's the Fit-on-six. There is no ZCOM SIX listed on their site.

 

 

BTW: The Faldo and them commented on the fact that he missed several fairways left yesterday. Wonder if it is the NIKE or the ZCOM.

[JKB]

It would probley be KJ's shaft or heck it could be his swing !

I believe it's the same shaft.

Take a look at www.fujikuragolf.com and look under ZCom - Fuji now classifies the SIX under the ZComs and may have changed the graphics on the shaft to reflect this reclassification.

[JKB]

Yes Swing man thats what happened... I was looking on the site today and confused about this

[MrBlack]

isn't it the japanese version???

 

i know they have the "six" on the US sight now, but if i am remembering correctly, the "six" was a japanese/international product...

 

edit:

 

or maybe that was the "siq"

[TM golf guy]

I remember seeing this. They switched the SIX over and gave it a graphics rework.

[857 Pro-Ti]

It's the same old shaft with the newer Zcom graphics. It looks like it's heavily tipped based on how much of the graphics are still showing below the grip :)

[HumberGolf]

i have hit this shaft in a 905r and and 904, it is really soft if u ask me, but its a good fit for a nice smooth swing like kj

[joeburdo3]

I heard KJ had a hell of a time finding the right shaft for this Nike head. He loved the head as soon as he hit it, but the numbers with his old Ozik shaft were just not working. I heard he went through 18 different shafts till he found the right one.

 

Makes me hesitant in picking up the new Sumo2. Especially if my a Diamana isnt going to be the best for me.

My clubmaker just started employing a similar strategy for his high swing speed players who are fighting the left side. He's been taking an ultralight shaft like the Six or Speeder 553 and tipping it heavily (1.5-2") and then installing in a high loft head. He said it's been pretty successful, and it looks like KJ's taking a similar route.

Bob Carrol from Bob's Golf.

[samm980]

I always liked how about every 3 or 4 months you would hear a rumor that Bob was closing, that seems like it's been going on for years.

[StaffBag]

The "FIT-ON" series of shafts is gone.

 

 

 

This series was enveloped by the ZCom line for 2007. The post a few blocks above has it right.

 

 

 

The ZCom's now consist of the BW, MW, TW, the SIX, and the PRO95.

 

 

 

(The shafts are all black with either blue, silver, or red/orange near the but end and white lettering on the black part.)

 

 

 

Nothing changed about the design of the shafts. Just the graphics.

I hear that all the time. Bob is a good guy.

 

Anyway. What other shafts did KJ try in the Nike?

It is not uncommon to test numerous shafts in a new driver head. Especially if you are experimenting with different flex and loft combinations looking for a certain ball flight like KJ was. Wanted to take one side of the fairway completely out of play. If you get a SUMO2, I would definitely try the Diamana in it. I haven't found a better shaft for my SUMO yet and I have tried 5 or 6 now.

[Hifade]

I use and X flex SIX (blue, tour spec and zcom versions) and tip them 2" in all my TM Tour 425 heads. The results are awesome. I get the higher trajectory I want and reduce the torque and stiffen the shaft further by taking off the tip. Great lightweight shaft with higher launching characteristics. I can add plenty of weight to the head and feel where it's at, at all times, throughout the swing.

 

BTW: the shaft pictured in KJ's driver is definitely the Zcom SIX.

[tarheel]

zcom six is the fuji six with new graphics.

 

why would you tip the six when it is an active tip shaft? doesnt that negate the purpose of using an active tip? (if i am mistaken abt the active tip bit please accept my apologies).
