Vegaman Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Well, the Diamana Stinger is the only boron shaft Im aware of that uses it for the whole shaft and they are almost impossible to find arent they? From what I understand Boron is/would be a truly excellent material for golf shafts because its such a light and strong material, much stronger and "reboundy" thab graphite apparently. The problem is access to the Boron itself wich is very expensive, very rare and difficult to work with, making boron shafts expensive and difficult to massproduce I guess. Graphite, even high quality stuff like 80T is apparantly "cheap" compared to Boron. The stinger has a real cult following and are singled out by some people as the best shaft ever, though.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 The stinger is a white board made of Boron. Boron isn't as expensive as 80T especially for Mitsubishi who produces the stuff. The issue with the stinger is the specs were inconsistent as far as flex and weight goes. Diamana admits this as an issue and the reason why the product wasn't continued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
