What makes a shaft low spin

But the golfer's delivery in using the high launch shaft might not give him the desired outcome; this could be that the golfer is having too much on the upward angle of attack, that the chances are for a lower strike on the face.

There are also cases where a low launch shaft has produced a higher ball flight with more spin and with tighter dispersion, than a high launch shaft. This will free you from being stuck with, and needing to adjust your swing to fit a specific strike point, certain load characteristics of the shaft, how the club can work more dynamically in your hands, etc. Having the correct shaft allows us to create timing and present the club face in the right manner, be it the bend profile of the shaft, its balance point or its overall weight.

Driver Shaft Low Spin Spin and Trajectory Differential The reality of shaft fitting is that the differential in spin and trajectory from lowest to highest is actually quite modest. In a typical driver fitting, for example, a Low trajectory shaft may produce a 9 degree launch while a Mid-High trajectory shaft may only increase the launch to 11 degrees, and spin may only increase from 2, to 2, Of course this can be significant in optimizing distance but do not be afraid of choosing a shaft that is designated Low-Mid even if your recommendation is for Low.

Sometimes, the combination of shaft weight, flex and price make certain shafts unavailable in particular trajectory and spin categories. The reality of selecting the shaft is to not go more than two categories above or below your recommendations, i. Low instead of Mid is marginally acceptable. You are better off changing the loft of your clubs if you need that much change in the shaft trajectory or spin characteristics.

When you input your Tempo, Transition, Release and desired trajectory, the TrueFitClubs Fitting Wizard uses that information to determine a shaft profile Trajectory and Spin that will give you the desired results. That, in conjunction with your distance, determines the butt stiffness, or flex, shaft weight and swing weight recommendation. When we build your clubs or shaft with tip adapter, we build to the EXACT specifications recommended.

This means that we may have to use a different flex than what is labeled on the shaft to get the proper performance. The majority of the testers were positive AoA guys, some significantly so.

The higher than expected spin numbers come from the driver head we used We set the conditions up to produce a bit of spin with the hope of finding some evidence of a shaft that actually takes a bit off. It would be interesting to do an experiment to see how well the Mizuno Swing DNA stuff translates to the driver swing.

I may dig into that a bit. As far a the HMT impact data…there might be something there as well. Very much enjoyed the article, I love this stuff. Have you considered testing putter shafts out? Most of the same companies you chose as you would know have a nice line of putter shafts.

Most of those companies have a nice line of putter shafts? I still play a ust pro force v2. I was able to test it against an aldila rogue black and the v2 was a better shaft.

The rogue was very low spinning…too low. The v2 was optimal for my ball speed and launch angle. First of the idea of looking I to these numbers is great and again points out the importance of getting fit for your clubs is the best way to turn those numbers into results on the course.

Club head weighting, CG, and adjustment setting all have an effect on spin rate data. Love that you guys did this and got some data for people to use to help them narrow down thier list of options and for Club guys this stuff is like porn.

Great story, great information, keep it up! Meaning most top shafts are the the top for a reason. They all are similar they all are gonna cost you and they all work.

Study and think which one you like most go with it. Kinda wish the speeder tour was included in this test but i get most of these are aftermarket only. Might have been interesting to have some stock shafts in there as well.

For me, the was higher spinning than the Fuji Pro TS. Way to many variables to actually find out which is the lowest spinning shafts especially when using individual golfers swings versus a swing robot Angle of attack? Center face contact higher or lower? Hard to repeat without using a robot. Did you know robots show minimal differences in delivery between senior flex, extra stiff, and a steel rod?

Tony, as you found, the same shaft performs differently for different golfers. If shaft makers would supply real performance data, it would advance fitting dramatically.

There are hundreds of shafts to sift through and very little reliable information. I think that with a handful of measurements, you could probably narrow the list of what could work significantly. Represent a major equipment manufacturer as a master fitter. Chasing spin numbers with shafts is an endless journey with no real destination.

I would love to see this same test if you asked the manufacturers to provide the shaft that produces the most ball speed. Wow Tony that is a ton of tech talk for this ole country boy to chew through. I knew a high kick point would bring the flight down and a low kick point would bring ya flight up. Brilliant article lots of clapping.

So this is going to be a basic question……how does a golf shaft impart spin???? I understand how grooves on an iron face impart spin, or a driver face for that matter….

You want article hits and donations to make money. If you piss off the people that sell the products or consumers that spend money on a particular brand it hurts your bottom dollar. I found a great shaft for my game and have played it since the R9. It has performed great with all of the heads I have put on it.

I think the torc is a big factor for the shaft. The more you hit off center the lower the torc you need to prevent twisting. The best shafts I have ever used and have also had the same comment from people I have fitted this shaft in to.
