Earlier in the week, we debuted the THP Tech Studio and today we jump right into it.
Kinetixx Ballistic iron shafts may not be something you have seen a lot of. The brand will not be the one you see as the stock graphite option for new sets. Today we take a deep dive into the Ballastic iron shafts with testing, data and more.
In the video below, we talk about the technology in the shafts and what makes them unique. We take some swings and show you the ball flight and then we will breakdown the data and give you a summary.
What do you think about the unique look of the shafts? Thoughts on the swings taken and the data that came out of it? Would this be a shaft for you?

I put one of these in the Mizuno ES21 wedge and it is absolutely fantastic feeling.
[/QUOTE]
I’ve always wanted to swing one in wedges, still such a curiously fun shaft for me.
The one I put in the EXS Ti utility was eye opening.
So. These wedge shafts. I need them. :unsure:
I think I want these, in the new blacked out finish if it’s an option.
Is today the day? :unsure:

Funny…I just got fitted for these shafts by Club Champion during my full bag fitting. Has never heard of them before that.
I hesitated. :rolleyes:

I certainly hope so.
Made a big difference to my current clubs with indoors testing (I picked up a full club distance with my 6i).
Won’t know for sure until I can get them outside next spring though!

Lol, I’m too old (63) and my swing is too slow for the 95g!
I split my fitting session over a week (1st session two mondays ago, 2nd session this past Monday)
That gave me a week to research those Paderson shafts he wanted to put into my irons. I had never heard of them before.
But the more I read, the more I liked them.
Can’t wait to see how they perform in real conditions.

The Science behind KINETIXX is real, they’re special!
I’m toying with idea of dropping these into the Forged Tec’s…..
I have been in a serious ponder on these lately in a 95 stiff for the hogans….SOOOOOO, lets count another yes

I think that would be a REALLY fun experiment.
Do the guys over at your Club Champion have them in stock? Would be interesting to see how they performed in the MP20 MBs for you.

Might need to call my guy in OKC. :unsure:
But some fly z pro raw heads and I’m thinking these may be a good option to throw in there. Never tried graphite before so why not?
Getting fitted tomorrow
Current ponder is 425’s with recoils. I play the recoils in my irons now.
How much are these shafts?

I agree. I know many here love the lime, and we all know I like bright, but I admittedly want the graphite in irons to be more on the tame side visually.
Eff it. I’m going to order tomorrow.
So…. where do I buy these? I remember loving them when I hit them years ago, and now I want a set, but can’t find them anywhere.
Wow! Did San Clemente, CA move to another planet and no one told me?
It costs me about $20 to ship 3 or 4 clubs UPS 2nd Day Air (which weigh a lot more than 6 95g shafts) just about anywhere in the USA (even just shipped 6 to Australia via Express Saver for $85) yet Paderson wants $92.78 (UPS 2 day) to go from Orange County to Chicago.
I want these, but they’re expensive enough. I’m not dropping another $100 to ship them. Wasted all that time on their terrible site. Bummer.
Anybody, what is the difference between the IRP & the IRT in shaft flex

I’d call them in the morning. Talk with a human. It seems their dealers are all club fitting retail brands.

I’ll call them in the morning, but I’m certain they’ll tell me that their logistics company sets the shipping prices. I’m ordering another set of Steelfibers from GW, as I can have them sent next day for $35. If Paderson can’t help me, at least I’ll have shafts in time for golf this weekend.
They seem really cool but not sure if I could stomach $90 a shaft.
The tech behind them seems amazing

Heck, TPT iron shafts will be something like $150/shaft.
Going to be putting these in a new set I have coming up in January. More feedback coming up soon, as I liked them a lot in the last set I tried.
