Anyone used them or got experience of them.

Had a go on launch monitor a while back and found my current shaft is no longer right for me and tried all sorts drivers and shafts. What I found were there were a couple of drivers that were coming out good for me but none I liked the look of over my G20 and for me being inspired by the look is as important to confidence as much as other factors.

However I did managed to get 2 hits of one of the assistant pro's driver which was a Callaway Xhot with the Bimatrix shaft and despite not liking the head the shaft felt great but I'm basing that on a mere 2 whacks and I did get good numbers on those shots

Just wondered if anyone has more experience of these than me and what the opinions are on them.

It's a question I have asked previously and had little response from, the craw has just fitted one but he's gone now! Not much on it on google either.Fancy sticking one in the G25 For a test myself.

Strangely enough I've been reading about these too, just a few days ago. Saw a few on eBay and found some items on golfwrx and sandtrap etc. seems its quite an old shaft, and was rereleased in funky colours after it got a lot of press as Bubba was using one.

Not tried one myself but read many good things about it.

Don't mean to hijack but is the Craw on a 'vacation' or proper gone?

My understanding is that you can add 3 or 4 degrees to your divers loft and launch it high and these shafts will keep the spin down and turn it into big carry.

they will help so much. The other point which is being neglected here is the club head. The G20 is quite light and I would look at the weights of the x hot, the point is a heavier head will make a shaft you thought was too stiff work a bit better because it is increasing the load. Also my findings are different heads can produce different spin rates. I find cobra drivers to offer me more spin and the shaft choice is affected. So that shaft could reduce spin but your G20 head has a low spin out put. If the shaft is cheap its worth investigating if not go to someone who knows what combination works or you could be forever searching.
I have put a aldila nv65 stiff in a G15 head 10.5 degrees and I am finding it is working very well and suits my swing and I get a good ball trajectory And the shaft only cost me £35 from Gamola golf and pro put it in for £10.
