Muziik BangVoo 787 Speeder Manufactured by Fujikura

This year TSG is featuring a new company called Muziik.  It’s president and owner Hiroshi Yoshimoto has spent years of working on his own golf shaft  design sparing no expense to produce the best possible performance.  What was created is a shaft technology using 70 ton carbon and manufactured by Fujikura in Japan.

The common theme holding back the top shaft companies in Japan and definitely internationally was cost.  Currently the suggested retail price and targeted consumer dictates how and what the shaft or product is manufactured of.  This is precisely why Japanese golf clubs are lightyears ahead of whats sold stateside. When the wholesale cost of a golf shaft is $20-30 the designer’s hands are tied and all they can do is produce the best they can from what their budget allows.  This is not very exciting for a golf shaft designer.

Hiroshi Yoshimoto has chosen to do a joint development partnership with Fujikura  and the first thing tossed was the restriction of cost. The final product was the Rombax Bangvoo Premium made of 70 ton high elastic carbon sheets for the full length of the shaft and 50 ton Triax below that.  The majority of top shafts in Japan or the U.S is produced of 20-30 ton carbon and much lower grade Triax.  Fujikura’s Rombax technology which uses two types of graphite weave, TRIAX (used in Fujikura’s legendary Speeder 757 shaft) and a second weave recently developed to reinforce TRIAX in Muziik’s case 70T carbon full length. These weaves, which are used to make graphite sheets, and are characterized by an intricate, strength enhancing pattern. The TRIAX sheet extends from the grip to the tip and in the case of Muziik product you gain Rombax technology with higher grade 50 ton Triax and 70 ton full shaft carbon reinforcement which greatly reduces shaft deformation.  So what’s all that tech talk equal?  A shaft that returns the club head to square quickly allowing improved timing, trajectory, and center struck location… Straighter & Longer shots!

The Next Generation 757 Speeder, Enter the Muziik 787 manufactured by Fujikura. In a nutshell it’s what the original speeder 757 would have been if cost was not an issue. It utilizes Speeder technology not Rombax. Its weight and torque fit the same level player as it did in the past, the professional, expert, or player with a fast swing speed.  It’s feel has been improved and after hitting it the analogy that comes to my mind is the difference when closing the door of budget automobile vs a high end luxury import.  The new BangVoo 787 is available in Stiff (75g) and X-Stiff (77g) flexes and  its torque rating is at 3.2*. I’ve hit it on several occasions and it plays accurate and uber long like the Crazy & FireExpress shafts we sell, it has an amazing stable kick feel and piercing trajectory  that I attribute to the use of Rombax technology combined with top materials.  I have some T&E samples coming and will be doing a review soon.
