Overview/Technology-
Fujikura is one of the leaders in golf shafts and the Rombax is one of their premier shaft models. The Rombax is really three shaft models in one, the Rombax W, Rombax X, and Rombax Z and all pack a punch – and each far reaching – we will be discussing the profile of each of these and more.
The Rombax W is a shaft designed for players average players with standard ball flight and launch angle but like to “go after it” once in a while without losing control and consistency. Control with distance is the emphasis.

The Rombax X model has a softer butt design yielding an ever so slightly higher launch angle but still reducing the overall spin rates. Increase distance is the emphasis.
The Rombax Z is the newest shaft in the Rombax family, introduced in 2008, this shaft targets the “better” player with a desire for a low, penetrating ball flight. The Z has a stiff tip and high bend profile making it easy to dramatically reduce ball spin and launch angle.
