WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR GRAPHITE AND STEEL SHAFT • The role of the golf shafts is usually underestimated. Most players ignore to see how the shaft’s weight can greatly impact their performance. The shaft is the primary factor that controls the total weight of the golf club and thus playing a key role during the swing. The weight of the shaft influences the swing speed and the overall feel players have on the club. Over the years, club manufacturers have designed and made shafts of different weights in order to fit the needs of different golfers.

SWING SPEED SYSTEM • Shafts are made of different weights. Your next graphite or steel shaft should match with your shaft weight requirement so it fits with your swing speed system. This is why it is a good idea to try a few swings with the shaft before purchasing it.

OFFER MAXIMUM LAUNCH ANGLES • Mid-launch, low spin shafts can optimize spin and increase launch angles at different swing speeds. There are some great shafts that are designed to help golfers play lighter and stiffer without compromising the grip feel over the shaft.

MAXIMUM ENERGY TRANSFER • The right shafts will allow you to make maximum use of energy transfer on the shaft in order to improve feel during impact and achieve better all control, tighter dispersion, and more distance.

THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF FLEX • Shafts that are too flexible will let you experience a ball flight that’s just too high, the increased ball spins or shot patterns with uneven dispersion. While on the other hand shafts that are too stiff will provide you with too low flight trajectory, very low ball spin, and lack of distance. Therefore you want a shaft that is in the middle, with just the right amount of flex that gives you impressive distance, control over ball direction, and allows you to optimize ball flight and accuracy.
