What do you want in a shaft review?

[Matt Saternus]

The title says it all. I have a couple Miyazaki shafts in for review right now, and I'm looking to be doing more shaft reviews this winter, and I would like the reviews to be as helpful as possible to you, the readers. Is there any particular information you want about a shaft? Particular data?

 

Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Not certain if it would be possible but a shootout of the popular shafts and ideally reviews based on swingspeeds, aggressive swingers vs. smooth swingers.

Also, possibly based on different price points as not everyone can or would like to spend a lot of money on a shaft.

Might have to enlist some other testers based on my suggestions.

I LOVE the current format of your reviews (customizable graphs/results) so ultimately I'd love it if each tester tried each shaft with the head that they currently game and was able to compare the results based on filtering the graphs.

 

Excellent work MGS!!!

 

Just wanted to add that it would be FANTASTIC if we could use the Graphs to compare reviewed items. ie. if I wanted to see tester Nick's results using Product A vs. Product B.

Dunk,

 

Thank you for your suggestion. At this time, we don't have the ability to do an Ultimate Review-style shaft review. Here's an example of a shaft review that I did recently for KBS C-Tapers:

And then one for the Nunchuck:

Anything you'd like to see added or something you found unnecessary?

Well, I bought a Nunchuk based on your review so I really liked that one (although I also ONLY game C-Tapers right now as well). If you modelled your review off of the Nunchuk one, I'd be a really happy camper.

I would like to see swing videos of the testers or a more in-depth description of who enjoyed the shaft the most. Golfer A has a quick tempo swing, swing speed of 115mph, steep angle of attack, etc. Also if you could provide launch data from a current shaft with launch angle, spin rate, dispersion, etc. Also what other shaft feels similar in the butt and tip of the shaft (i.e. shaft x really feels like a diamana 'ahina). Most golfers are only familiar with 5 different shafts so trying to compare oranges to oranges would make it really useful.

Also, if you use different testers, possibly add their handicap as well. A +1 handicap will be different from a mid-high handicap player.

How about Flightscope X2 shaft acceleration profiles?
