An LA Golf shaft marked AXS Blue 105 may turn up in an existing set, a second-hand listing or a clubmaker’s stock. The name alone is not enough to decide whether it suits your swing. Older model names can outlast product pages, and specifications quoted in listings are often incomplete. Start with the markings on the shaft, then assess the complete club rather than assuming that one number tells the whole story.
Identify the shaft before comparing it
Photograph the full label, flex marking, weight marking, tip area and any serial or build notation before work begins. Record which club it came from, its playing length and the head and adapter fitted to it. A shaft may also have been tipped or trimmed during a previous build, so two shafts carrying similar graphics may not produce the same assembled club.
LA Golf’s current shaft catalogue is useful for understanding how the manufacturer organises fitting choices today. Its current A-Series includes different weights, flexes and High, Mid and Low flight profiles. The current iron range also includes a 105-gram class option. Those current details should not be used as a retroactive specification sheet for an AXS Blue 105. They simply show why the precise model, intended club type and build history all matter.
What to check in a fitting
- Club type: confirm whether the shaft was designed and prepared for an iron, hybrid, wood or another application.
- Build measurements: check playing length, swing weight, total weight, tip preparation and adapter compatibility.
- Condition: inspect the tip, paint, butt section and any previously bonded areas for damage or excessive preparation.
- Ball flight: compare launch, spin, carry and dispersion with a suitable baseline club.
- Feel and control: note whether contact and strike pattern remain consistent across normal swings, rather than judging one best shot.
Decide from evidence, not the label
A 105 marking commonly invites a weight-based comparison, but installed weight and balance depend on the complete build. Flex labels are also not universal measurements across every family or manufacturer. A clubmaker can measure the shaft and inspect its preparation; a fitting can show whether the assembled club produces a useful flight and repeatable strike for you.
If you already own an AXS Blue 105, bring the club or loose shaft rather than relying on photographs alone. If you are considering a used example, ask for clear markings and measurements before purchase. Check LA Golf’s current shaft range for current manufacturer information, then get in touch with Fix It Golf for an inspection, repair or fitting discussion.
