Can anyone (equipment junkies, club builders, club fitters, etc.) please chime in with your thoughts on this? Is this a valid claim? I think his claim is off by at least one order of magnitude. I am still double hulling 40 year old gen 1 graphite fly rods that effectively use the same basic build technology and, see much higher duty cycles. 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Webb Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Well, Bernhard Langer may disagree since he transferred the same Hogan Apex shafts into many sets over the years. He played a lot with them and very well!

Tyler Webb Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I don't think they wear out but have seen many sets of steel that develop quite a warp to them.

aerospace_ray Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I have never seen a graphite shaft "wear out" from normal play going back at least 30yrs. I have had to reshaft numerous steel, aluminum Easton -( anyone remember those? )due to getting bent/warped. Now where I do caution my friends that like to reshaft alot is with the graphite shafts as the shaft tips can change size/diameter if one does not properly pull & prep the shaft tip. Can't count how many times I get asked to fix an improperly pulled/damaged graphite shaft. Many times I can't the damage is so bad.
