Shafts

My last 8 rounds of the year I averaged 71.5.  Love the new clubs and the new shafts on my irons.  Much more consistent. -Rick R., Eagle, CO  5 Hcp

The shaft is the transmission that delivers the energy from the golfer (engine) to the ball.  If the shaft is too loose, like as slipping transmission, you will lose distance and control.  If the shaft is to stiff or heavy, like a tight transmission on a sports car, you sill also find it difficult to control.  A proper shaft delivers the longest distance, the tightest accuracy and consistent control.

Did You Get the (Right) Shaft?

You have been to your local pro shop or driving range and tested a few clubs. The first thing you noticed is that you seemed to hit an “S” flex more consistently in one manufacturers club but an “R” flex better in another. You want to spend your hard earned money on the right equipment, but this inconsistency is driving you crazy. What is going on here?  Read More…

Graphite or Steel Shafts?

For years it has been pretty simple to decide whether to play graphite or steel shafts in your clubs. In the past several years, dramatic changes have been made in both weight and composition of graphite and steel shafts so that the lines are really blurring. Before you spend your hard earned money on new clubs or re-shafting your existing equipment, let’s see what decisions you need to make.  Read More…

Interchangeable Shafts?  What’s Next?

The golf industry is continuing to improve its ability to make this game easier for everyone to play.  Larger heads for bigger sweet spots.  Increased MOI (Moment of Inertia) for more forgiveness on off-center hits.  Adjustable weight technology for the ability to reduce draws and slices on drivers.  Now, the USGA has approved interchangeable shafts so that you can get the right shaft for your particular swing, and for the type of course you are playing.  Read More…

 “Spinner” Wedge Shafts – Do they work?

Since 2010 was “The Year of the Wedge”, meaning it was the last year wedge manufacturer’s can make high-spin U-groove wedges, some shaft companies have stepped up and manufactured a unique shaft that is touted to increase spin off your wedges.  While we are not “Myth Busters” we decided to see if this technology really works.  Read More..

Get Consistent! The Right Shaft Does It.

OK. We are more than half way through the season and your scores still are not coming down. You are not hitting as many fairways as you would like and your iron play is very inconsistent. Think it’s your swing? Think again. It’s time to get your equipment checked. Look at Tiger Woods. Tiger is having a tough time off the tee this year. Tiger has been used to playing a steel shafted driver at a 43 and one half inch length. The shorter length and heavier weight of the steel shaft fits his swing and makes him much more consistent. Whenever he goes to a longer, lighter shaft, he misses more fairways than he hits. In working with over 11,000 golfers, we have determined that the correct length, weight and flex in the golf shaft is the most important factor in distance, accuracy, and consistency.  Read More…
