Saw the Rocketballz Tour TP Driver in X-stiff flex in the shop today. SGD559. Not often you come across something in X flex. It comes with the Matrix Ozik HD6 Shaft. TMAG website in USA sells for USD349 about SGD428. But if you find that elusive perfect club, money should be the least of your concern.
What I am more concern about is the specifications of the shaft. Is it an OEM HD6 for TaylorMade or an actual HD6? (like the blur 65 for the R11 TP is different from the actual one you get from Fujikura.)
The TaylorMade website gives that shaft as 69g,Torque of 3.2, Low/Mid Launch and Firm tip. As for the Matrix Website I couldn't find anything useful. The Titleist website lists it at 68g for the 913. The other thing that is not stated is the amount of backspin the shaft gives. For me I prefer a low launch and low spin driver.
Didn't try it. But after thinking long and hard. I'll give it a miss. Suspect the HD6 gets too much backspin. HD6 M3 is the low spinner. And it might be even cheaper to buy the RBZ non TP and reshaft. Given the fact the UST Mamiya shafts are very good and very affordable. A V2 would set you back about $170-180 , AXIV Tour Green $210-220 and throw in $45 for the adaptor. Got to try my AXIV shaft on the RBZ one day.
Another advice is to wait for next year's TM new R series driver, heard its gonna be good.
