On The Tour Truck: Which Shaft?
On the tour truck we often get asked to rate the stiffness of shafts. Here is a handy little list of some of the most common shafts, starting from flexible for slow swingers to downright poker stiff for pro’s. Keep this handy to help you decipher which is best for you when buying new or used irons!
- Nippon 850GH: soft tip and soft flex for ultra-high flight and players with slow speeds. One of the lightest steel shafts available.
- True Temper (TT) GS 95: soft tip with high flight and just a little stiffer than Nippon 850 for low speeds.
- TT Lite XL: Light weight with mid to high flight. Great for longer than standard clubs. mid to slow speeds.
- FST KBS 90: Light weight with soft tip for great feel and mid to high flight for mid speed range.
- Rifle: Mid to soft tip in lower (5.0/5.5) for mid to high speed range. 6.0 /6.5 for high speed range with split kick-points.
- True Temper Dynamic Gold SL: Stiff tip with mid to low ball flight for high speed range. Anti hook shaft but can lack some feel.
- FST KBS Tour: Stiff tip but with feel. Low to mid ball flight. High speed range. Becoming very popular on Tour.
- True Temper Dynamic Gold: Stiff tip low ball flight and high speed range and solid feel. Most succesful and popular shaft.
- True Temper Black Gold: Low flight, weight matched, very solid feel and for high speed range. Best quality and construction shaft available.
- Project X / Project X Flighted: Lowest spin shaft with very low flight and very solid feel, heaviest of steel shafts and for very high speeds
