+TourSpecGolfer Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Today they can make carbon materials stiffer and stronger than steel, shafts with great materials can go higher torque and maintain stability unlike before. Shorter drivers being easier to hit center is true, but also important is how well the shaft matches our tempo to allow us to square the face up.

chiromikey Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 This is getting complicated! To simplify this, what exactly are we trying to solve here, shaft specs for a player or a basic philosophy of club design? Just proving the fact that, swing speed being equal, more mass equal more distance. However, nob makes a very obvious and valid point, the human element adds many variables.

If your answer is yes, why are the top brands going lighter? Must they ignore that fact because of the variables that a golfers swing bring to the table?

They're going lighter because they're selling the theory that people can swing the lighter club faster which also offers more distance. Either increase mass or speed, both offer more distance.

supo Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 ok well heres REAL world testing egg7 with NS prob 950 steel stiff shaft 44 x 355gram X d2 VS kasco super hyten 12.8* diamana B 80s x 337 gram x d2 Vs syard .388 9.5* diamanaB 60x d2 X 316 gram x 45 inch straighest........ without even any question what so ever. on all manner of swings form best to worst. the kasco KILLS everything longest . the syard on best shots by 20 + yards in any condition . overall......... on sub 6400 uayrds course id be a MUG if i didnt use the steel egg 7 all the time, its goes 270 at best and 250 at worst, its NEVER EVR EVER EVER going to go left , ever. nad it block right to the right fariway on a miss hit. i just aim left and it fades back to centre. in wind with wind, across wind doesnt seem to matter, its incredidible. its just to heavy for me g to get that uber distance drive all day. but for my course when i need t o get it 250+ and straight this is EASILY my best driver. im trying to get a shaft matched for it to get a draw so i can use carbon as well. im using this steel one more and more and at my home course (6300 yards ) its THE perfect driver.
