The other is that they are flamboyantly colored. These two truths are self-evident. Another claim might be made about them that might justify these two observations, but which would have to be true in...

Here’s something about golf that’s not so secret. Players with fast swing speeds and strong tempos tend to gravitate towards ultra-stiff, ultra-low-torque driver shafts that sport a high kick point, and which produce low launch, low spin characteristics. They just don’t need any help from technology to boost carry distance. They do it with muscle alone. Now, for golfers with...

As golfers age, they naturally lose some of their strength and mobility. This in turn precipitates a slower swing speed that will require some measure of accommodation from the gear with which a golfer plays. Of chief importance is the golf shaft itself, which is the most critical element of a senior shaft golf club: it’s the shaft that makes it a senior outfit. This post will dive a...
