Most
shaft selection guides are developed based on center hit data.
Their basic assumption are that every stroke results in a dead
center hit.
However,
knowing most golfers have swing variations ranging from open/close
face to outside-in/inside-out swing path, we strongly recommend
that you take into consideration the degree of variations in your
swing in making your selection. Generally speaking, the greater
the swing variations, the lower the torque, the stiffer the shaft
flex, and sometimes the heavier the shaft weight are recommended.
The
lighter the shaft weight, the more active the shaft will be. Therefore,
everything being equal, on center hit a lighter shaft will give
you longer distance over a heavier shaft. A more active shaft
will behave like a high compression golf ball. On center hit it
will go farther, and on off-center hit it will be off more. Therefore,
the lighter the shaft weight you choose, the lower the torque
you should consider.
If
you would like to be assisted in your shaft selection, please
e-mail us the following
information: your build, age, sex, swing speed, golf handicap,
open/close face, outside-in/inside-out swing path, any wrist snapping
at the last quarter of your swing, the club head you intend to
use, the shaft you currently use, and what you like or dislike
about this shaft. We will e-mail you back our recommendations
on a first come first serve basis. To better serve you, please
provide us with your zip code so that we can refer you to an authorized
dealer near you.
