GolfSpy TCB Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 41 minutes ago, Clayton said: Golf shafts generally come in 4 flexes - senior, regular, stiff, and extra stiff. The swing speed stuff they do here at MGS should reflect what I consider to be a 4 swing speed standard as well, not 3. It would make more sense to do it that way and seems like it would be easier for users to fit a swing speed category. That makes a lot of sense Clayton... I am sure some responses will be about shaft flex from one shaft/mfg to another are completely subjective designations (which is certainly true - not to mention kick points and such), but at a 10,000 foot level... breaking swing speeds into 4 categories rather than 3 seems more intuitive to the range of amateur golfers.

pakman92 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I'd love to see a test of Puring the shaft where the orientation is controlled. Pure'd orientation, +45, -45, +90. All the tests I've seen so far is one pure'd shafts vs another of unknown orientation. Problem is the unknown orientation makes the test results non-conclusive since the other shaft could be by luck in correct orientation. Test could be extended to include a number of stock/after-market shafts to see if affect is less with high end shafts.

Headhammer Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I replied to this question on Twitter and got no feedback so I will reiterate here. I would love to see a double blind test of pured vs unpured shafts to see if it matters to weekend golfers. Look at distance and dispersion as the metrics and a make a case for what is a somewhat controversial topic. cksurfdude and russtopherb 2 Quote Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: PM Grind 54* & 58* Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtopherb Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I'd like to see a head to head test of the hybrid style SGI irons. Halo XL, LaunchPad, T-Rails, Hot Launch, Sub 70 799, etc. See which ones have best turf interaction, forgiveness, height & stopping power, etc. And actually have them tested by folks that would play them on the course, having them tested by a 6 hdcp with a 105 driver swing isn't really going to show what a weekend golfer could expect to get out of them. cksurfdude and BobBC78 2 Quote In my carry bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai/li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Launcher 5h Launcher CBX 6i-PW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 e12 Contact CURRENTLY TESTING - Mizuno Long Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as an FYI, for categories like SGI they try to keep the testers skill appropriate.
