Mjr. D Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I think we can all agree there is probably more fantastic and exotic J-Spec equipment available right now than ever before. The amount of exotic metals and shaft materials is enough to make my head spin. It's gotten damn near impossible to choose anything anymore. I know I would love to have a Glossary page somewhere on this site that lists every different type of material used in irons, woods and shafts with detailed descriptions and ratings of each. Hardness ratings, cost ratings, etc. I realize the whole point of the industry is to confuse the s**t out of the consumer with catchy sounding names and proprietary techniques so I think some clarity is much needed.

Mjr. D Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 It is but I think it would really help people form opinions, save Chris time from answering constant questions about these things and really help clarify things. I know for me I'd like to know what the differences are between certain titaniums and certain forged cup heads and boron vs 80t vs pitch fibre, etc, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 It would confuse everyone. There is no best material, its the combo of everything, hardness ratings can be manipulated based on who you have them measured by, there is too many secrets in regards to materials. For example people asking for 80T don't know what degree or how many weaves or how long down the length of the material is or the specs or pressure etc.. brands don't release that. Some brands keep torque a secret and materials. 80T is cool but its too brittle, it's not good in certain designs or weights, it relates to torque differently but still people think yum 80T = expensive = best which is not the case at all. While this would help in answering questions it would cause a ton of misinformation and misunderstanding even more than there already is about golf equipment.
