The Kinetixx SyrgeX shaft has a super stout feel at impact. Able to withstand aggressive swings. Impressive dispersion. Higher spin.
Introduction
“Bulletproof distance with bulletproof precision” is a hype line that’s sitting right there when your signature technology is a material called Kevlar EXO. But Kinetixx, to be fair, goes way beyond catchy slogans. In their press release introducing the SyrgeX, they dive into fiber layouts and resistance to ovaling. So whether you’re here for the hype, the science, or if you’re someone who cares about nothing but what happens when the club hits the ball, the Kinetixx SyrgeX is a shaft worth your attention.
Looks
At a glance, the Kinetixx SyrgeX is very similar to the FlexurX. Both have the same “EXO Gold Matte” base color, though the SyrgeX is noticeably lighter when they’re side by side. Where the FlexurX has some brown and green in its gold, the SyrgeX is closer to a prototypical gold, just a few shades darker. Another subtle change is that the parallel “rings” on the SyrgeX run are set perpendicular to the butt-to-tip direction, not 45 degrees. [See Price / Buy]
The branding on the Kinetixx SyrgeX mirrors that of the FlexurX. “KINETIXX SYRGEX” is written in large, iridescent letters across the middle of the shaft. Most of the letters are silver save for the second X in each word, which is red. There’s a black and gold “Kevlar EXO” callout near the tip, but you can hide all of this at address with a logo-down installation.
Feel
Despite using the same Kevlar EXO material, the feel of the Kinetixx SyrgeX and Kinetixx FlexurX [review HERE] could not be more different. The SyrgeX lives up the expectations I had when I read “Kevlar” on the spec sheet. This is a stout shaft that gives you a real sense of stability throughout the swing.
What stood out most in the first few swings was just how powerful this shaft felt at impact. It’s almost like the shaft knows the strike is coming and braces itself, refusing the give an inch in the collision. As I spent more time with it, I came to appreciate a small kick, as well. The bend feels fairly high, just below the grip, giving the swing an extra couple percent before impact.
Ramsey also tested the Kinetixx SyrgeX and “immediately felt confidence” with it. He stated that he was in synch with the shaft and knew where the club head was whether his swing was smooth or aggressive.
Performance
Based on the feel, both Ramsey and I had high expectations for the Kinetixx SyrgeX. The results were excellent, particularly with regard to dispersion. Ramsey noted that he could easily predict his start line with the SyrgeX. I had a similar experience of feeling in control of where the ball started. 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]
We agreed that with the Kinetixx SyrgeX, there was always a strong sense of where the club head was. Given that neither of us is Rory or Scottie, sometimes this was good, sometimes it wasn’t. Where the SyrgeX impressed us both is that on those poor, club head isn’t where it belongs swings, the results were still quite good. I had numerous instances of swinging, grimacing at the way the swing felt, then seeing perfectly acceptable ball flight and launch monitor numbers. Ramsey stated, “Even when I wasn’t swinging well, I would take the results all day, every day.”
With regard to strength and accuracy, Kinetixx’s claims about the SyrgeX matched our results to a T. That was not the case with launch and spin. The spec sheet lists the SyrgeX as “Low-Mid” launch and spin. Both of us found the SyrgeX to be high spinning. For me, that meant spin the mid-2000s on straight shots and draws and as high as 2,700 on cuts. Ramsey’s spin averaged out just below 3,000. The SyrgeX is clearly lower spin than the FlexurX, but not low spin compared to most shafts.
As always, spin is not inherently good or bad, it’s just a fitting variable. Ramsey was so impressed with the accuracy that he said, “I would consider this for a gamer even with the higher spin because of the control.” This jump in spin would take some getting used to for me – I’m accustomed to my very flat, stable ball flight – but I, too, found the stability of the Kinetixx SyrgeX worthy of further exploration.
The Kinetixx SyrgeX is available in both driver and fairway wood configurations, each in four flexes. Shaft weights range from 56 grams at D1 to 68 grams at D4. Both the driver and fairway wood shafts have the same weights, but the driver shafts are 46″ long, the fairway wood shafts are 43″. The swing speed recommendations are 70-80 MPH for D1, 81-95 MPH for D2, 96-108 MPH for D3, and 109+ for D4. Kinetixx also makes a SyrgeX Tour which is heavier and lower torque. The driver shafts weigh 77 grams (D1) and 79 grams (D2), and the fairway wood shafts are 85 grams (F1) and 87 grams (F2). Kinetixx recommends the SyrgeX Tour D1 for swing speed from 108-115 MPH and the D2 for players over 116 MPH.
Conclusion
“Bulletproof distance” is an open question and will depend on the player, but the Kinetixx SyrgeX definitely lived up to its claim of “bulletproof precision.” This is a shaft that can keep up with a wide variety of swings and deliver the ball consistently into the fairway. If you’re looking for a shaft to help you stay in the short grass, the SyrgeX is worth a swing. [See Price / Buy]
