The Kinetixx SyrgeX shaft has a super stout feel at impact.\u00a0 Able to withstand aggressive swings.\u00a0 Impressive dispersion.\u00a0 Higher spin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/p>\n

\u201cBulletproof distance with bulletproof precision\u201d is a hype line that\u2019s sitting right there when your signature technology is a material called Kevlar EXO.\u00a0 But Kinetixx, to be fair, goes way beyond catchy slogans.\u00a0 In their press release introducing the SyrgeX, they dive into fiber layouts and resistance to ovaling.\u00a0 So whether you\u2019re here for the hype, the science, or if you\u2019re someone who cares about nothing but what happens when the club hits the ball, the Kinetixx SyrgeX is a shaft worth your attention.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looks<\/p>\n

At a glance, the\u00a0Kinetixx SyrgeX is very similar to the FlexurX.\u00a0 Both have the same \u201cEXO Gold Matte\u201d base color, though the SyrgeX is noticeably lighter when they\u2019re side by side.\u00a0 Where the FlexurX has some brown and green in its gold, the SyrgeX is closer to a prototypical gold, just a few shades darker.\u00a0 Another subtle change is that the parallel \u201crings\u201d on the SyrgeX run are set perpendicular to the butt-to-tip direction, not 45 degrees. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The branding on the \u00a0Kinetixx SyrgeX mirrors that of the FlexurX.\u00a0 \u201cKINETIXX SYRGEX\u201d is written in large, iridescent letters across the middle of the shaft.\u00a0 Most of the letters are silver save for the second X in each word, which is red.\u00a0 There\u2019s a black and gold \u201cKevlar EXO\u201d callout near the tip, but you can hide all of this at address with a logo-down installation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Feel<\/p>\n

Despite using the same Kevlar EXO material, the feel of the Kinetixx SyrgeX and Kinetixx FlexurX [review HERE<\/a>] could not be more different.\u00a0 The SyrgeX lives up the expectations I had when I read \u201cKevlar\u201d on the spec sheet.\u00a0 This is a stout shaft that gives you a real sense of stability throughout the swing.<\/p>\n

What stood out most in the first few swings was just how powerful this shaft felt at impact.\u00a0 It\u2019s almost like the shaft knows the strike is coming and braces itself, refusing the give an inch in the collision.\u00a0 As I spent more time with it, I came to appreciate a small kick, as well.\u00a0 The bend feels fairly high, just below the grip, giving the swing an extra couple percent before impact.<\/p>\n

Ramsey also tested the Kinetixx SyrgeX and \u201cimmediately felt confidence\u201d with it.\u00a0 He stated that he was in synch with the shaft and knew where the club head was whether his swing was smooth or aggressive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Performance<\/p>\n

Based on the feel, both Ramsey and I had high expectations for the Kinetixx SyrgeX.\u00a0 The results were excellent, particularly with regard to dispersion.\u00a0 Ramsey noted that he could easily predict his start line with the SyrgeX.\u00a0 I had a similar experience of feeling in control of where the ball started.\u00a0 Additionally, I was impressed with the way that they shaft kept the ball on target with strikes off the toe or heel. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We agreed that with the Kinetixx SyrgeX, there was always a strong sense of where the club head was.\u00a0 Given that neither of us is Rory or Scottie, sometimes this was good, sometimes it wasn\u2019t.\u00a0 Where the SyrgeX impressed us both is that on those poor, club head isn\u2019t where it belongs swings, the results were still quite good.\u00a0 I had numerous instances of swinging, grimacing at the way the swing felt, then seeing perfectly acceptable ball flight and launch monitor numbers.\u00a0 Ramsey stated, \u201cEven when I wasn\u2019t swinging well, I would take the results all day, every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With regard to strength and accuracy, Kinetixx\u2019s claims about the SyrgeX matched our results to a T.\u00a0 That was not the case with launch and spin.\u00a0 The spec sheet lists the SyrgeX as \u201cLow-Mid\u201d launch and spin.\u00a0 Both of us found the SyrgeX to be high spinning.\u00a0 For me, that meant spin the mid-2000s on straight shots and draws and as high as 2,700 on cuts.\u00a0 Ramsey\u2019s spin averaged out just below 3,000.\u00a0 The SyrgeX is clearly lower spin than the FlexurX, but not low spin compared to most shafts.<\/p>\n

As always, spin is not inherently good or bad, it\u2019s just a fitting variable.\u00a0 Ramsey was so impressed with the accuracy that he said, \u201cI would consider this for a gamer even with the higher spin because of the control.\u201d\u00a0 This jump in spin would take some getting used to for me \u2013 I\u2019m accustomed to my very flat, stable ball flight \u2013 but I, too, found the stability of the Kinetixx SyrgeX worthy of further exploration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Kinetixx SyrgeX is available in both driver and fairway wood configurations, each in four flexes.\u00a0 Shaft weights range from 56 grams at D1 to 68 grams at D4.\u00a0 Both the driver and fairway wood shafts have the same weights, but the driver shafts are 46\u2033 long, the fairway wood shafts are 43\u2033.\u00a0 The swing speed recommendations are 70-80 MPH for D1, 81-95 MPH for D2, 96-108 MPH for D3, and 109+ for D4.\u00a0 Kinetixx also makes a SyrgeX Tour which is heavier and lower torque.\u00a0 The driver shafts weigh 77 grams (D1) and 79 grams (D2), and the fairway wood shafts are 85 grams (F1) and 87 grams (F2).\u00a0 Kinetixx recommends the SyrgeX Tour D1 for swing speed from 108-115 MPH and the D2 for players over 116 MPH.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

\u201cBulletproof distance\u201d is an open question and will depend on the player, but the\u00a0Kinetixx SyrgeX definitely lived up to its claim of \u201cbulletproof precision.\u201d\u00a0 This is a shaft that can keep up with a wide variety of swings and deliver the ball consistently into the fairway.\u00a0 If you\u2019re looking for a shaft to help you stay in the short grass, the SyrgeX is worth a swing.
