That's a lot of X's. The stiffest shaft that DG makes is the X300. For reference, Tiger plays X100 tipped 1" which would equate to a XX100. On the Rifle Precision scale that's equal to about 7.7. I have played 6.5 rifles and thought my hands were going to vibrate right off my arms.
Here is another thought for dear 1-Iron. A lot of times people play very stiff irons to correct a swing fault (hook). Not many tour pros even play x100. A really strong player with a good swing is more interested in feel, trajectory control, etc. They are not trying to correct a fundamental swing problem. While they could handle an X100, they play a softer shaft. I would tell 1-Iron to fix his swing first
I never even saw them before I even checked their site and they were not listed.
Our resident 160mph ss superhero claims to have these on his club so I am just curious if they even make them
I found those XXXXX flex DGs for irons. These shafts are about 1000 grams each! Wow, what swingweight would that translate into? Theses shafts are outsourced to the Finnish steel company Rautaruukki.

So you don't use graphite shafts? So does Fujikura make steel shafts?
How do you catch a driver "chunky" when your handicap is so low??
Are you so famous that Fujikura makes custom prototypes for your "legendary" swing speed? Shafts that they don't produce for the well known longdrivers?
I guess we can always call Chad Embrey who is the National Dealer Representative for Fujikua Composites to check Mr. 1 Iron's claims:
It is my understanding that the Fujikura Speeder is a graphite shaft. If 1iron doesn't use graphite how can he use a Speeder, no matter which flex it is?
