timbleking Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Me again with probably another silly question. Can we consider, for a given wood shaft, available in the two tips, that .350 is really stronger at the tip than .335? The question is about the fact I cannot play NV 65 S .335 because of the torque that is too high for me, but I tried it with a Fusion and .350 tip and feeling was truly different. There was particular tipping then I thought that tip size was giving a chance to play lighter shaft. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowpro Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 agree 100%... the .350 shafts play firmer.. had the same experience with the nv-65 and blue pro launch.. more mass at the tip.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbleking Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Ok, thanks for the feedback. Perhaps NV 65 X .350 tip has a future for me... :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickBooras Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I would say no. I've spoken with some reputable names in the golf industry on this subject, and the general concensus is the reason for going to a .350 tip is because it is easier and cheaper to obtain the desired specifications by adding more material to the tip than by using better materials or engineering. If you remove all other variables, other than the shaft, I'd bet money you will feel no difference whatsoever between a .335 and .350 tip of the same model. To make sure all other variables have been removed, I'd suggest finding two .350 tip heads of the exact same weight. Shim a .335 into one, install a .350 into the other. Measure the frequency of each and make sure they are the same, or very, very close. Make sure the swingweight of both clubs is the same. Install logo-down so you don't know which is which. Tell me if you notice a difference. My money says you can't, and if you do, it's because of another factor. Just my $0.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey3108 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I will second Lowpro comment! Most Freq machine are only measuring the butt area of the shaft, I will bet if we have a Freq machine who measure the tip area, 350" tip size will freq firmer than 335", unless they compensate when they construct it ( I doubt it ).
