wongkee Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Recently I have tried a few best driver shaft in the market like GD Tour AD and AXIV, they are expensive (around $250 - $300 each) but they really have gave me more control and distance (10-15 y more). I am really happy with their performance but wanna know what make them perform better than the mid-price-range shafts. What make them hit ball longer? Are they use better graphite? But why better graphite can hit ball longer???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrazygolfer Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 The answer is complex but in simple terms: better design, tighter tolerance control during manufacturing process, etc. over the cheap $30 shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustice09x Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 They may not always play better for everyone. It really depends on your swing for what type of shaft works best for you. The premium shafts have things like tighter tolerances, new technologies and materials. Some of these technologies and materials took the company alot of time and money to develop so they only get put on the more expensive shafts. I read somewhere it takes a few people almost a week to make a MCC Ozik shaft. All that labor and the expensive materials are why the expensive version is $1000. If a shaft is better suited to your swing regardless of price you may get improved accuracy and distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
