  • This video I test a high launch shaft against a low launch shaft and using launch monitor I measure the difference between the two shafts. How big a difference is there!??

      Michael Newton Golf my ACL is only just back to normal, so I'll book I'm for some much needed lessons again but with a new plan for my broken body I think.

    A very good objective review. Many golfers will let their "feelings" about a shaft change their performance to suit (confirmation bias), but that didn't appear to come into this review at all. In most cases, I've found that any big differences seen between shafts is down to the preferences of the golfer in looks, weight, balance, or "reputation" of a shaft rather than any objective physical performance differences. The golfer believes one is better, therefore it performs that way. If that's the case, then fine. But, the real performance differences between shafts is fairly marginal for the vast majority of golfers. Spending our energy working on our swing and delivery is far more productive than arguing in forums in pursuit of that driver shaft that will magically turn us into Dustin Johnson.

    Strike pattern and feel is the best way to pick a shaft. Smooth transition golfers don't stress the shaft much. More violent "hitters" may see bigger variations between shafts.

    Mike... you may not be the best person to test high or low launching shafts given your silky smooth damn near perfect tempo. Others that are super quick in transition may experience VERY different results between different shafts.

    Lesson here is use the shaft that provides the best feel for you. I have a couple of aldila rogue silver shafts.One is the I/O tip and the other just the previous year model. Love the original and don't like the I/O version at all.All about feel baby!

    Recently I was having a little problem with Fujikura mid-launch shafts for fairway woods. Fujikura has a 2.5 in. tip section, other companies have 3 in. section. Unless you get a Fujikura shaft with stiff tip, T/S shaft, the tip is soft & feels light. I have Project X red, mid-launch. I am putting that shaft in the fairway woods, that shaft has a great tip section, resists face deflection & does not have excessive forward deflection, but has higher launch than black or yellow Project X Hazardous. I recommend 75 gram,6.0 for most stronger golfers. Good video, the shaft world is very deceptive these days, especially when you make a $300 mistake.

  • @johncreet1254
    @johncreet1254 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When reviewers compare shafts they always compare shaft flex as marked. My understanding is that there is no standard for flex, so one manufacturer's stiff is another's regular. Perhaps I am wrong or perhaps there is not enough difference but I am still surprised that nobody mentions it in reviews.

    Nice to see a shaft video using shafts that the normal person would get fitted for as opposed to the expensive aftermarket ones that other youtubers are using for their tests. Suppose it just depends on which one you like the feel of better.

    I just purchased the M6 10.5 with the Atmos Black in R flex. It’s around 66 grams. It just doesn’t feel right. Feels cheap in a way. I still have my M3 with the Hazardous Smoke 5.5 at 62 grams. I may switch them out and see if that works better.

    To many variables here. Probably should have picked a better shaft than the 'stock' atmos red.....

    • @bdeheton6445
      @bdeheton6445 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Really? The "stock" quality Atmos performed identically to the HZRDUS Yellow shaft in nearly every way. It was even more consistent with the launch angle. How would a "better" shaft perform differently when the HZRDUS is arguably the "better" shaft.

    If you want to do a real comparison of Taylormade’s new driver, Sam Max-D along with it’s standard shafts.. you must compare them to this driver Taylormade SLDR driver..
    And compare the Sim Max driver & shaft to the Max 3 driver
    Then we can find out if there is an improvement in technology across-the-board..

      Have an Aldila Alpha x 70 gram in my 5 wood for years , very low launching shaft supposedly ,but it pops the ball up really high and lands very soft ,easy to hit of the deck too ,even my Mrs can hit it nice and high with a low swing speed .Weight and length are more important I think .

    The results would be very different for a golfer who loads the shaft a lot and hits it very hard vs one who swings it very smoothly with tempo. Go to txg for better analysis of shafts and equipment. Crossfield is crap and a waste of time - how can equipment don’t matter.

    Shaft flex has little to do with swing speed. Go by looks, sound and feel when you're trying clubs. A 50 gram senior flex might feel and produce the best for you, however, your ego will likely still want you to go with the 89 gram triple X death shaft.

    Love your videos. If I am not mistaken, the HZRDUS Yellow is more mid-low in launch and spin- vs their HZRDUS Black, which is low-low. Not to nitpick- I have tested both shafts and the black is definitely much lower launching/spinning. Your main point is dead on- everyones’ swing is different and the same shaft can do polar opposites from one to another. Thanks for your awesome work!

  • @donharrold1375
    @donharrold1375 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Could you conclude that the biggest variable remains the performance of the individual golfer? I often struggle to see a lot of difference when people do shaft reviews on TH-cam. Does a good fitting generally come down to setting up the most appropriate loft and weight bias in the head with an appropriate shaft flex?
