Get the Right Shaft (Golf Clubs)

Golf Club Tips by Golf Pro Brad Smith

STEEL SHAFTS vs. GRAPHITE SHAFTS

I like to personally fit the golf clubs to the customers golf swing.

I then know if they are going to change anything in there golf swings so I can make the adjustments to the clubs.

However not always having the luxury of fitting someone personally, I like to have a few basics to help everyone achieve their potential. Here are my thoughts on golf club shafts:

A. Men should get a combination of steel shafted irons, graphite shafted woods. The graphite shafted woods will help get maximum distance for longer shots and drives.

B. Men over 55+ need sometimes need all graphite shafted irons and woods. The reason for the switch to graphite irons has to do with absorbing of the impact so not to injury the body. As we get older the speed swing slows, lighter weight graphite shafts may recover some of the lost speed, thus regaining some lost distance. A switch to a softer flex shaft (senior, A-flex) is usually recommended.

C. Juniors and Ladies (All Ages) Graphite shafted irons and woods. The lighter weight graphite shafts are much easier for juniors and ladies to swing than heavier steel shafts. You will pay a bit more the improved shot making makes it worth it.

There are some exceptions depending on body type, swing speed and launch angle.

Aldila NV 105 Graphite Irons Shafts

Last year, I saw a set of Mizuno MP-60's with Aldila NV 105 Graphite Shafts. Probably the best looking set I've ever seen. I've always been partial to Mizuno Irons, having previously played the MX-23 and MP-33's. I saw these clubs and absolutely had to have them. I was hesitant about using Graphite in my irons, but the enhanced distance that I get out of the NV-105's just couldn't be beat. I average a good 7-8 yards in increased distance with my new 60's. I also don't feel that I've sacrificed any accuracy or shot-shaping ability.

For quotes and order information on any of the MP Series Irons with Aldila NV 105 Graphite shafts, call www.Proshopwarehouse.com and ask for our resident Mizuno expert, Brad Stallard.

Exotics Fairway Woods..By far the Hottest Face in Golf

I recently put two Tour Edge Exotics Fairways in my bag, the 5 and 7 wood, both with Fujikura Stiff Shafts. I have to say, these are without question the longest clubs I have ever hit. I'm fairly long off the tee, but even these clubs surprised me. I recently had the opportunity to play an unbelievable club outside of Chicago. I didn't have a ton of experience with the Exotics woods at the time. I hit my 5 wood off the tee all day and consistently striped it, 250 to 270 yds off the tee, with a great little draw.

In independent testing, the Exotics Fairway wood was 20yds longer then anything else on the market. The test was conducted using Iron Byron, the standard in golf club testing equipment.

My personal golf club recommendation is to put one or two of these Fairways in your bag right away, you'll see the difference on your first swing!
