Golf Graphite Shafts for You
The hottest topic in golf is the Graphite Shaft. How true are the claims of extra distance? How much do the clubs cost, and are they worth it? Should you be getting graphite – Shafted Clubs?
Many pros who have adopted the graphite shaft and claim to be getting 20 – 25 yards more with this drivers. Other claimed up to 30 yards. There is scientific data available to realistically evaluate these results
Does the graphite shaft enable a golfer to hit the ball farther?
In theory a golfer can swing faster with the lighter graphite shaft, club head weight being the same, and thus hit the ball farther. However, some golfers find they get no distance advantage from graphite shafts. Touring pro suggests that the answer may lie in the individual’s type of swing. Whatever your swing, don’t expect immediately to pick up 20 – 30 yards off the tee.
Test by World’s largest shaft producer, show its steel shafts lag about 1 per cent behind graphite shafts in overall distance test with its mechanical golfer. In the test graphite Shaft Averaged 242.9 yards and Steel Shaft averaged 239.8 yards. Both Drivers had the same swing weight
Can you hit the ball straighter with graphite?
Most Knowledgeable observers say yes, basing their opinions on the light weight and fast recovery characteristics of graphite. Because the graphite shaft bounces back faster after bending during the swing, its supporters say the clubface is more likely to be square to the intended line of the flight when it contacts the ball.
What type of players benefits most from graphite?
Although manufacturers claim more then 100s touring professionals in America have ordered its drivers, the main beneficiaries of the graphite shaft could be women and senior golfers. The big benefits to senior golfers is the light weight , in most case many senior golfers have said it has added 10 years to there golfing life.
What should you check in buying graphite – shafted club?
First, talk with your golf professional. Then try sample clubs or clubs owned by friends. If your bank account can handle it, buy a driver to start with. Otherwise, wait to se what happens to the price next year.
Why are golfers willing to pay so much for golf clubs?
Since it cost so much, people have to figure there is some value to it. Besides, golfers are dreamers. They want to hit it little farther. They want to take a stroke off their Score
