Light weight and more flexible than most of their other shafts. Built initially for the Jap market to suit their physiques and then found people liked the feel of them....err read and R flex is really an A etc, so they of course feel better, less harsh.
They should be popular as most people play with shafts way too stiff for their games.
"Play with the lightest most flexible shaft you can control." That does not mean play with a noodle. It may mean playing with a light shaft that is an S rating. It may mean a heavy shaft with an X. Or even a light weight shaft in an A flex (Tour Concept). Each player is different so get fitted professionally to get the best result.
