Accuflex -

I'm looking for a shaft for a 3W. Something around 75-85 grams that plays like steel. I currently have an NV in there in S flex. What does Accuflex mfr that fits that my desired spec?

VT Divot,

If you want soemthing that feels like steel, take a look at the Steel Shafts that are light weight like the TX 90, etc...

If you want that great feel of Graphite, with the stability of steel, we have two options.

#1- Icon FH (85 grams)

#2- Icon Heavyweight (Tour Proto) (95 grams)

Info. on both shafts can be found at www.accuflexgolf.com

Let me know which route you go, or if you need some guidance in choosing. Take a look at the web site first and get as much info. as possible.

VT,

I think the Heavyweight it right up there. It might be a tad heavier, but so is steel...

I was debating that for my 7 wood, as I'd like something for accuracy, but i'm still not sold on the weight. My search continues...

what does a heavier shaft do to the ball's trajectory if anything?


would it be more accurate? less? no change?

thanks

The heavier shafts (ie: steel) are more accurate, but because of the extra heft, slow your swingspeed. However, if you can crank it up with the best of them, a steel shaft will be much more accurate overall.

Remember when Tiger was using steel only is his driver? It was for that fact alone.

However, the new advances in technology have made graphite so much better these days that the goal is to get the lightest, stoutest graphite shaft you can to maximize distance and accuracy.

Depends on club length, the shaft weight or balance point will help determine final swingweight, for those that are dependent on that.

Also for some golfers, the heavier weight helps them drop the club inside "the slot" easier...

These are the two biggest reasons, in the past before the advancements in composites and shaft design, heavier shafts usually were more consistent and resisted "twisting" more, but this is really a non issue with a good graphite shaft.

Some "twisting" or Torque is needed and it all depends on the golfers swing.
