The question I have here is about introducing a new product to the marketplace....and I need input to help me decide if I wanna do it or not.
GOOD FACTS
This is a golf shaft we have tested on all handicap levels and found an increase or 15-30% or more distance (really)....without changing the players desired trajectory.....in other words, it is just not a softer flex....It's stronger.. but doesn't feel it.
My average distance is in the 240 range...and with this shaft I hit 280-310 repeatedly....we have a guy with arthritis who averages 200 yards and with this shaft was getting 230-240 on every drive. We have a club member who is a 3 handicap and averages 280 a drive and found with this shaft getting way over 300 yards.. Results have been absolutely amazing.
I can see retail cost on these shafts to be around the $50 range.
BAD FACTS
The wall thickness at the tip is very thin and the weave is such that it can easily be crushed when put in a clamp for re shafting.
In other words, we created a shaft that puts out an enormous amount of energy/force, but on the flip side, cannot take excessive external pressure.
During normal use and transit, the shaft is fine...it has been with one player who's swing speed has been clocked at 114mph for well over three months, in play daily, without issue. But should he decide to put the shaft in another head, he would most likely destroy it.
So is this a concept worth bringing to the public? Or would this be a marketing and guaranteeing nightmare?
Thoughts????
