TENBUCK Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Why can't there be a universal flex rating by all manufacturers so that a A-L-M-S-XS be the same with all? I'm sure some of it has to do with marketing, but to the consumer it would be of benefit and to the manufacturer. I might like a TT but willing to try a Fuji if the specs were closely identical.

ssops00 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I feel all shaft manufacturers should publish the frequency numbers (4) on all shafts so you could compare one OEM's shaft to another USING DATA. (as we are learning with the virus, the only way to make decisions is by using data- the rest is marketing BS). Then, when you do a fitting, the fitter should tell you / recommend to you what shaft frequencies would work best for you , they you would know USING DATA your best fit.

Bucky CC Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 What are your thoughts on shaft PUREing? Is it really a beneficial service to perform on shafts, or are manufacturing tolerances tight enough now that it won’t make a large difference for most golfers?

Mabyboi Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Hello! Thanks for taking the time to reply to questions! I was just fit into Fujikura Pro 2.0 Tour Spec 6X for my Driver and the 8X for my fairway woods. I was curious what the difference between Pro 2.0 Tour Spec and Ventus Black would be? What does the EI curve look like for both? I really enjoy the stable feeling of Pro 2.0 TS, but I’ve also heard great things about Ventus Black! Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Josh Ross Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Hey guys! Thanks for taking the time to do this! I currently play the stock shaft you guys made for Mizuno in their 2018 CLK hybrid.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 This is a great opportunity, thanks for jumping in. I asked this on your SM channel last week, but due to some personal events going on, I haven't been on much to see if you answered it. If so I apologize for the duplication. Torque! There's a lot about it I don't understand. I'll hit he bullet points below for any info you can provide. Is it more important in irons or the drive or equally important How big of playing difference is there in the rating say 3.5 vs 4.0 I've always been led to believe the higher the torque rating the more forgiving/stable the shaft?

JScott Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 If a solid ball striker wanted to hit a higher/lower trajectory, would the shaft or ball (or combo) be the first thing to try? Said another way, would shaft or ball make a more noticeable difference in trajectory? I realize this is a loaded question asking a shaft company but asking anyway. Thanks.

Ciri808 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Aloha, mahalo for this opportunity. I have always been curious about getting a second opinion on how we get fit for the right shaft. I was fitted by a golf shop here in oahu about 4 years ago and it was based on swingspeed and certain numbers using trackman. Based on the results, i was fitted for extra stiff shafts in all of my clubs. The initial conclusions i had was that this was the right way to get fitted. But now I'm seeing from other places that there are different ways to get fitted now. Being that its been a few years, would it make sense to get reevaluated?

BADFanBoi Scotty Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'd like to see manufacturers FLO/ Pure their shafts before sending out (Or better yet, before putting on the decals so label goes up) as part of their quality control process. Any chance of this becoming a standard part of the manufacturing process?

Gil B Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Several years ago Fujikura made proprietary "Cleveland Launcher Gold" shafts for the Cleveland Launcher line for the drivers and fairway woods. I've been playing these shafts in stiff flex and I'd love to continue using Fujikura shafts of similar characteristics in some new clubs. Can you tell me what are the shafts of today's manufacture that's very similar or of better qualitY? Quote Link to comment
Gsh12095 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm curious about graphite iron shafts for players with tour level speeds. Obviously getting fit is the best way to find out what works for any individual, but I'm curious, what would the upsides be outside of maybe weight to stiffness? Quote Link to comment
msellergren Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Thank you for being available. For your golf shafts, do you have the ability to measure accurately the features you sell? For instance, when you sell a certain shaft with a 60 flex, how do you predictably know that it is that vs. a 50 or 70? I'd be interested to understand the quality levels of those various quality characteristics. Quote Link to comment
zrumble Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I have a flat swing plane, probably at least partially due to my slight build at 5'4", but drivers are more upright now than ever before. I tend to hit towering blocked fades that can turn quickly into snap hooks when I get after it. I did have the pleasure of testing the new Ventus Blue and Black and loved them. - Is there a shaft design that has an increased stability and loading for someone who tends to swing flat and from the inside, and is torque a major factor to consider? - When you are in between recommended flexes, say with a 105mph driver clubhead speed like myself, how would you make a decision based on typical miss pattern? Assuming you can't make it to a fitter for a couple hours to give a fair evaluation.

Wesleyb22 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I recently bought a Cobra F9 with a TS black 7x (which I love). This came as an aftermarket shaft option with no upcharge. What is the difference in materials of the “stock” aftermarket shafts that some companies offer versus buying the true aftermarket shaft separate from the club purchase?

Ward Jackson Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I am a 2 handicap that has a fairly flat swing, so I am height challenged. My swing speed is between 95 and 97 miles per hr. Which shaft would you recommend for me to hit the ball higher with? Quote Live golf! Link to comment
PMookie Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 1.)I had an AD-DI 85X in my Callaway X2 Hot Pro 20* hybrid, and loved it. I sold the shaft, but now want a replacement. I have a 115 mph driver swing speed, and want a similar profile shaft to put back into the hybrid.Suggestions? I’d rather a mid-to-high ball flight for max carry. 2.)How do I buy a Fujikura hat? I play a Ventus Black 7X in my Honma driver, so I’d love to sport a Fuji hat as well!!! As far as keeping my game in shape, I’ve been hitting at the range (when open), into my net on the back patio, using PuttOUT on the carpet in my bedroom, and using an impact bag. I’ve been submitting video to my coach as well. Thanks!!!!

ryoung68 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Your Ventus shaft lineup has been widely regarded as an incredible product. I was just wondering if you could confirm that it is the VeloCore which gives the shaft such a stable torque rating, right? That torque rating should reduce twist on off-center strikes and help to eliminate gear effect, correct? If those assumptions are correct, a Ventus shaft in a high MOI head would make for possibly the most forgiving driver possible. Quote Link to comment
RogerSunn Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm a club maker. Fujikura is a premier golf shaft manufacturer. I just removed two of your Callaway Green shafts from a 2017 Epic driver adapter and a 2017 3 wood adapter. Both of the shaft tips unraveled at the end. I've been making clubs for 30 years and have never seen such poor quality. Was 2017 just a bad year or have I missed something? And no, I didn't overheat the shafts. Thanks for any comments you may offer. Quote Link to comment

Kenny B Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I have a slower swing speed about 90mph with driver. Let's assume that I have a driver head that is 12º and a stock regular flex shaft. Yes, I know that all brands are different, but for the sake of this discussion, let's just go with an average response across all brands. My question is: How much change and what would the impact be if the same head in 10.5º was used with a higher launch shaft? In other words will a higher launching shaft in a lower lofted driver produce more spin, less spin, or about the same, and would it result in more carry distance than a stock higher lofted head? sirchunksalot 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment

Jus1412 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hello, I have a Ventus Blue 7 in my Ping G410 Plus Driver. I also play a Ping G410 5 wood lofted down to 16.5 degrees. I want to pair a Ventus Blue with my fairway. But saw that a Ventus Red 90 gram shaft is available! I do want a high ball flight, and just wonder how much higher would the red be compared to the blue? Also would the spin be alot higher in red?Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

One of the few Brands that give you EI profiles and their values... this is one of the most accurate ways to show a shaft stiffness. EI profiles or frequencies should be the standard, not LARSX.
