Short drives. Low launch. Shots that just don’t make it to where you’re trying to reach. A shaft that feels like it has tight lips and just won’t tell you anything. All of these are signs that you might be playing with a golf shaft for your driver that’s just too stiff for you. Stiff golf shafts for drivers are designed for players that have aggressive swing speeds and tempos. If your swing is on the slower side, you might be working against yourself if you’re playing with a shaft that just doesn’t work well with your abilities. Here are…
Whether you’ve heard of the KHT (or “Korea Hidden Technology”) behind Autoflex golf shafts or not, these shafts are the real deal. And they offer some serious performance for basically golfers of all skill levels. Here’s what you need to know. Lighter, Thinner, More Responsive While the exact science of Autoflex golf shaft’s KHT remains under wraps, what it results in is composite shafts that are lighter, thinner and more responsive. What this means for pretty much any golfer is that these shafts can be swung faster and harder, where needed, more easily, and with less straining. Part of this…
Aside from weight, length, and material, the two most important things you will need to be able to evaluate in golf shafts for drivers are stiffness rating and torque. They will, together, have an immense impact on the performance of any golf shaft, and whether or not it will be suitable for you to use. Here’s a high-level view of what to know. Stiffness Rating in Golf Shafts for Drivers Stiffness rating in golf shafts is measured on a soft scale (all manufacturers have their own standards) typically ranging from regular, to stiff, to extra stiff and finally tour-spec extra…
It’s tempting to buy custom golf clubs online, consisting of a shaft and club head chosen specifically according to your goals and abilities. In fact, it is often a good idea, provided you work with a fitter. Now, let’s talk about something that doesn’t get as much attention as it should: putter shafts and custom fit, as well as what’s available. Look at the advances that have been made in drivers and driver shafts. Drivers have gone from being made of wood, to titanium alloys, to carbon, and the modern market still bears everything here and in between. Driver shafts…
You know the expression, “you drive for show and putt for dough”? You know what it means? It means that you can look great driving and put hours and hours into training at the range, but putting is what it all comes down to. You can drive beautifully and blow up your score on the green. One to two putts you didn’t need to take will lay your game low. Which begs the question – why has so much emphasis been placed on the performance of driver shafts and so little on putter shafts? We’ll take a closer look at…
Made with extremely strong and flexible, ultra high-modulus Pitch 70 ton carbon fiber and stabilized with the company’s proprietary VeloCore Technology, Fujikura Ventus shafts are in a league of their own. There are three main echelons of Ventus shafts, though – the Red, the Blue and the Black. Each of these offers something a little different to golfers of different needs. Here’s what you can expect. The Ventus Red The Red is the most flexible, and most forgiving shaft in the Fujikura Ventus lineup. It sports a stiff tip, a firm midsection, and an ultra-stiff handle section. Available in ratings…
LAB Putters are all about consistency and have revolutionized the game for golfers. With LAB Golf, it’s all about “Lie Angle Balance,” hence the name. They’ve pioneered so-called Lie Angle Balance Technology that basically eliminates torque and optimizes the performance of the putter face. The secret is that these putters square automatically at impact – and that’s not something to be taken lightly. According to their research, 83% of a putt’s starting direction is determined by the direction of the putter face at impact, with the remainder by the path of the putter head. Which makes squaring critical. Now here’s…
The TaylorMade Stealth Plus Driver may not be categorically new anymore, but it remains an excellent driver, and one of the best in the sport, even by liberal metrics. This is in large part due to the five attributes mentioned here, the first of which stands to revolutionize drivers in general going forward – much as the original MetalWood did over 40 years ago. Lightweight Carbon Construction The first item we’ll address here is also the key component that defines the zsr and underlies the success of the entire design. Whereas most modern driver heads are made…
Alright, alright, so we’re basically already through 2024. That’s true. But can you put any credence behind those guides that come out at the beginning of the year telling you what the best will be? That’s just conjecture, if you ask us. We spent all of 2024 watching and waiting, and only now are we confident enough to tell you what the best Sun Mountain golf cart bag of the year is: the C-130. Big surprise, right? This has been the best Sun Mountain golf cart bag for some time now. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, you…
