Just as when golfers try to select new clubs, who need to know your own swing and goals when making a selection from the shaft. They also need to know axis types available. The choice of axes, for example, a golfer's swing speed needs to know, usual or desired track ball, and the desired length par club. Based on this knowledge, a selection of the shaft can be made generally between two materials, steel and graphite.
Steel v. graphite. Features steel and graphite are very different. When comparing steel shafts and graphite shafts of the same length, the steel shaft will be considerably heavier. Steel also has a lower pair index (described below) that the graphite and, therefore, be a little more "Boardy," with less shaft torque and club-head during the swing. Steel is also durable, as it does not cover any surface that can be scratched. Graphite rods are lighter and have a greater range of torque that gives the player more options.
Flex and "Kick Point." The right choice depends axis largely on the speed of swing. In general, the axes are in one of three or four categories flex: L (Ladies), R (regular), S (stiff) and XS (extra stiff). These are not universal terms. For example, Callaway Golf Uniflex uses terms such as, Firm, extra firm, and so on. In addition, there is no standard industry in relation to the speed of oscillation for each category of flex. In general swing speeds, with drivers who are below 80 or 85 would require an R flex, while speeds of 85 to 95 or 100 would have a flex S. Each manufacturer has a range of swing speeds recommended for each of its inflections.
The turning point or bend point shaft helps determine the flight path of the ball. The axles are not a low, medium or high kick point. If a downward trajectory desired, choose a shaft with a high kick point. On the other hand, if a higher trajectory is required, select an axis lowest point kick.
Par. Note A shaft torque refers to the amount of torque of the shaft and the clubface will be submitted during a swing. Higher ratings mean torque shaft will feel softer, a lower grade will feel more rigid.
Shaft Length. The shaft length depends on the height, or specifically, the distance between the curve of the wrist to the floor when standing upright. If the distance measures about 34 to 35 inches, standard shaft lengths is most likely correct. True Temper, recognized as the leading manufacturer of axles, has a measuring scale to help in making this determination.
There are plenty of things to consider in selecting a new axis, however, a good store, online or not, should provide information on the characteristics an axis. They should also be able to help in determining their swing speed and shaft length you need. Manufacturers have no doubt that the information available. With the correct axis, any golfer, regardless of skill level, will be happier with his game.
