this thing looks sick in person, XL Tour 10.5 degree with Roddio 7WA in Stiff flex
I told Chris I wanted it 257-258 CPM, I got it today and it was exactly 257 CPM, I couldn't be happier with the tremendous service and the perfect club work, whoever he had reshaft this thing did a great job, I am hard to please when it comes to club work and equipment and this thing is exactly how I wanted it, GREAT job TSG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm alot better golfer than photographer so please don't laugh at these pics, but I did my best for today (IMG:http://www.tourspecgolf.com/forum/style_emoticons/TSG_Smileys/atsg_smilie_roll.gif)

awesome stick J! I would definitely like to know how it plays! Im pretty happy with the XL tour and Axiv-V combo. Since you have hit exactly what I am using, I would like to know what you think of the roddio compared to the axiv.

1st day review with Roddio 7wa
Driving the golf ball is generally the most consistent part of my game, I have always hit the ball very straight with a slight draw, but I like having an open setup to know that I can go at the ball and never bring left into play, hence the reason for playing an open faced driver, that is also the reason I chose the 7wa instead of the 7ba (might get the BA version as well), my handicap is anywhere from a +2 to a +4 as I generally shoot a couple under par to even Feel the Roddio has a nice kick to it with a very solid feel, I would rate the Roddio as the 2nd best feeling shaft I have put in a driver (just ahead of the Mach Line Tour), nothing I have ever hit was quite as smooth as the Axiv 7072, but the Roddio is a better shaft in my opinion than the Axiv though Performance the Roddio claims to have a mid-kick while the Axiv 7072 claims to have a Mid/high kick, however I hit the Roddio on a much more ideal trajectory (more piercing than the Axiv), I thought I hit the Axiv too high which would always limit the roll I got, the Roddio is longer for me by a solid 10 yards or more because of the better trajectory the one thing that has me baffled about this Roddio is the fact that I have hit alot of slight fades with it in my first round, I only missed 1 fairway and it was on the right side in the short cut of rough, the reason the slight fade has me baffled is because I have never in my life hit a fade unless I was trying to, my natural shot is always a slight draw with any driver combination that I have ever hit Looks nothing I have owned looks as cool as the Roddio, the two tone shaft is great, but looking down at a white shaft at address if very pleasing, everyone wants to know what it is and where I got it, which is sort of cool, I have alot of PGA professionals that love golf equipment here in the states and none of them have a Roddio, I am the only one at this point, but I think that will soon change Summary I will play at least 5 rounds with this shaft before making it my official gamer, but right now it is looking good, it has great feel, it is long and it looks great, that is a tough combination to beat *If you have a problem hitting the golf left and you want to eliminate that then the 7wa is the shaft for you, if you hit this shaft left then you need to get a lesson...........ha ha, I'm telling you I haven't come close to hitting this shaft left, no matter how hard I went at it Shafts I have tried from Chris and TSG and how they compare in each category Overall Length/Distance 1. Mach Line Tour (s)......slightly ahead of the Roddio (5 yards) 2. Roddio 7WA (s).......about 10 yards longer than the Axiv 3. Axiv 7072 Feel 1. Axiv 7072 2. Roddio 7WA (s) 3. Mach Line Tour (s) Consistency 1. Axiv 7072 2. Roddio 7WA (s) 3. Mach Line Tour (s) Looks 1. Roddio 7WA (s).....not even close 2. Axiv 7072 3. Mach Line Tour (s) I will continue to give updates and reviews each time I try the Roddio and for those of you wondering why I'm hitting a Roddio right now here is why: -the Mach Line Tour is still the longest shaft I have tried, great trajectory and just flat out long but it lacks in terms of feel and consistency from the two others, they advertise as a low kick point shaft, but I didn't hit it extremely high, it had a great trajectory with alot of roll, but for some reason I couldn't get the shaft to kick the same everytime, something about the location of the kickpoint wasn't right for me in terms of consistency - the Axiv 7072 was the best feeling of any shaft I have tried from TSG to this day, I also never missed a fairway with it, it is extremely consistent, but it has a tendency to balloon in the wind and the shaft didn't promote any roll for me at all, it was on average probably 15 yards shorter than the Mach Line and for now I would say about 10 yards shorter on average than the Roddio more upadates coming.........

Great review!
Did you use the Hi-Bore with all 3 shafts in the comparison? |

Sorry, but th Hi-bore just does NOT suit my trajectory window... though I agree the AXIV V Spec is a great shaft... for those who need more spin..

Sorry to be the cynic... but this doesn't add up... the AVIV V Spec is the #1 in consistency and # 1 in feel, per your ratings, and you have NEVER missed a fairway... but the Roddio gives you a extra ten, so thats the gamer... sorry that does NOT compute in my little mind... I'd work on getting the launch angle and spin rate maxed out with a V Spec offering... JAT... |

JAT... bro, I don't miss fairways with any of them, driving the golf ball is the best part of my game, unfortunately some of the rest of my game is lacking (that is why I'm working in the golf business instead of playing for a living), imagine playing from the middle of the fairway all the time and still only shooting a couple under par to even on average (frustating at times........ha ha).................. my review does add up though, I was doing my best to give an accurate rating because some of the users in this thread suggested I give one, I rated the Axiv #1 in terms of consistency because it took off at the same exact trajectory almost every time I hit it (too high for me), the Axiv has great feel but it was not the right shaft for me in terms of distance, I'm not willing to sacrifice 10 or 15 yards of distance because something feels good
