Shaft torque

[Trebuchet]

I recently had my 3 wood re-shafted with a RIP alpha. I've been using the RIP in my driver for some time because it lowered my trajectory.

 

With the OEM shaft I could stripe the 3 wood, it would just fly too high. With the RIP, the ball trajectory is where I want it, but I can't seem to shake a baby fade. It's not overly disruptive, just perplexing since I don't have that issue with the driver...

 

Someone suggested that the low torque of the RIP may be to blame. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

-Thanks!

If a shaft is too stiff / too little torque for your swing it is likely to come out as a push or a fade. If the shaft is too weak or too little torque for your swing it is likely to come out with a draw to snap hook. Finding that balance of shaft design and your golf swing is a lot more important for higher swing speeds then lower but still important regardless.
