They're not graphite, but they are firmly rooted in carbon fibre. They are created by fusing a nanocrystalline alloy with a carbon fibre composite polymer sublayer. The manufacturers claim this gives you a shaft with the consistency of steel and the distance and feel benefits of graphite, without any of the downsides.
The key lies in an unimaginably small and tight grain structure in the NanoFuse material, increases strength dramatically which is so strong that the weight of the shaft can be reduced for distance without losing any of the stregnth which helps accuracy. Flex is the most important factor in the shaft as it affects distance and direction. Getting the correct flex in your golf equipment is of the utmost importance.
The flex is a rating of a golf club shaft's ability to bend during the golf swing. All shafts, no matter how stiff, exhibit flex under the forces of the golf swing. A player with a very fast swing will require a shaft with less flex, while a player with a slower swing will need a shaft with greater flex. The less the bend in a shaft, the more control a powerful swinger will have.
On the other hand, beginners and those with less powerful swings generally use a shaft with greater flexibility. The average swing speed with a driver is from 65 miles per hour for the beginner up to over miles per hour for powerful swingers. Different shaft manufacturers have differences in their specifications of flex. There are 2 methods of measuring flex. Both are effective in the measurement of flex. Stiffness defines the bending characteristics of the shaft when weight is applied.
Frequency is another way of defining stiffness and indicates how fast a club will vibrate with that particular shaft. The stiffer the shaft the faster the vibration. If you have a low swing speed, more flexible shafts will propel the ball more at the downswing. If you have a high swing speed, a stiffer shaft avoids lagging clubheads.
Torque is the twisting movement of the shaft during the golf swing. It is measured in degrees and shown as a rating that gives information about the 'twisting' characteristics. The higher the rating, the more the shaft twists and vice versa. The more torque a shaft has, the softer it will feel. A shaft with a 3 degree torque will feel much stiffer that one that has 5 degree torque.
Every shaft, graphite or steel, has a certain amount of torque. Most steel shafts have up to about 3 degrees of torque. Torque however has a slight effect on ball trajectory, with the lower the torque, the lower the trajectory. This defines the point where the shaft bends and affects the trajectory of the shot. The effect is small but measurable. A shaft with a high kick-point will usually give a low shot trajectory and more of a "one-piece" feel to the shaft.
A low Kick-point will usually give a high shot trajectory and a feeling of the shaft tip whipping the clubhead through. Kick-point will also affect the feel of the shaft. Some club specialists will dispute this by saying that the Kick-point and bend-point are the same.
Bend-point is the highest point of the shaft when it is bending by applying pressure to both ends of the shaft. Kick-point is the highest point the shaft is bending, by clamping down the grip and pressure is applied onto the club head, like in the swing. There will be some shafts where both bending points are similar or very close. The weight is the actual weight of the raw, uncut shaft before installation, in grams.
Lighter shafts mean lighter total weight and therefore the prospect of additional clubhead speed and more distance. Have you noticed that sometimes you will have a favorite club in a set of clubs that you just seem to hit better and more consistently than the others? Difference Between Parallel and Flighted Shafts.
There are some differences and similarities between parallel and flighted golf shafts. Flighted Golf Shaft Club Examples. They are also designed to provide consistent flex progression throughout the set. Flighted and non-flighted.

Thinking of going to a combo set of blades and muscle backs. Blades have traditional shafts in S Backs have 6.
Will flex be similar? Miketheripper01 Member. Joined Jul 7, Messages 88 Reaction score 16 Handicap I think making sure the shafts are a similar weight would be the most important thing. Sent from my Moto G 4 using Tapatalk. A 54 degree wedge covers a distance between 80 to yards. According to the rule of thumb, beginners hit a lesser distance with their 54 degree wedges than experienced golfers. Also, the distance covered by women players is around 15 yards lesser than their male counterparts.
Players with swing speeds between mph tend to gravitate towards stiff shafts, with mph being the point at which some players begin to use x-stiff extra stiff shafts, particularly in their drivers.
These numbers are the weight of the shaft in grams. Shaft weights typically range between 50 grams and 85 grams with the numbers being pretty common as seen in the example shafts above. Lighter weight shafts tend to be swung faster since they are lighter , increasing club speed. This is your average shaft weight, most regular, stiff and x-stiff shafts are 65 grams.
Mid to low handicap golfers would use a 65 gram shaft. The 65 gram weight helps players with swing speeds of 90mph to mph generate enough speed while still keeping the head under control. Those forces are generated by the type of swing that you have — fast or slow, smooth or jerky. What are flighted rifle shafts? Asked by: Prof.
