Shafts Buyer's Guide 2007
One of the best ways to get your golf gear back into tip-top shape is to consider a new shaft upgrade. Sounds simple enough, right? If you’re among the many confused, heed the following. Choosing the right shaft is a matter of first determining what you need. Is it more distance that you want? More control? Both? The variations of shafts available are crafted to meet specific demands, and it looks like no demands are too great. To find the right shaft, it’s imperative you read up on the details and carefully consider the info and specs presented to you.
Flex, which used to dominate shaft-buying decisions, has become somewhat arbitrary when considering varying flex points, torque ratings, weights and load profiles. Speaking of which, some shafts are designed to flex more at lower speeds, while others flex less at higher speeds. Some are fine-tuned for drivers, others for woods, hybrids and irons, and so on. The key is first determining the right weight and length for your swing and then deciding what type of action you want the shaft to perform. For instance, if you want a high launch, you’d look for a shaft with a low kickpoint. More forgiveness? Try a shaft with more torque. Whichever shaft you choose, always do so with a certified clubfitter. They’ll help you find the right shaft that will make a huge impact on your game.

Shafts Buyer's Guide 2006
One major reason for the tremendous improvement in shaft technology
lately is the proliferation of oversized drivers. The unique demands a
460cc head places on the shaft has given designers a whole new segment
of equipment to work with. As a result, driver shafts (as well as
hybrid and iron shafts) are more advanced and of a higher quality than
ever before.
This explains why so many golfers are spending extra money to replace their stock shafts with premium aftermarket models. Today’s shafts simply provide superior performance to stock models, and although they do come at a premium cost, any avid player who finds the right aftermarket shaft for his or her game will immediately notice improved feel and performance. In addition, most stock shafts don’t feature the impressive array of technologies found in premium shafts, most of which are the result of years of research, millions of dollars of investment, and the dedication to providing golfers with superior performance.
