Is it actually worth going through the process of having the spine of your shaft aligned? This article will dig into this topic and explain it in more detail before discussing what it can actually bring to you as a golfer. Spine alignment in a golf shaft is one of those things that was only ever available to the world’s best golfers until recently but what does it mean and what does it achieve? This is a subject for the real golf equipment geeks out there, or for those who aspire to be in this camp.

Mitsubishi Chemical Golf MMT 95, 105 and 125 With the new shafts from ACCRA, Aerotech, Fujikura and KBS, I am sure the new models will change this list, however, our most popular shafts in these heavier weights are:Īerotech SteelFiber i95 and i110 (both parallel and CWT) That being said, we still frequency match, spine align, and swing weight each club in a set of irons to make sure they a built consistently. In these new heavier graphite shafts, the consistency from shaft to shaft is much higher. I would say this is still true in lighter weight (40 to 70 gram) graphite shafts, especially if all you are doing is following manufacturers tipping instructions for installing them. Consistency versus SteelĪ common knock on graphite shafts has been the inconsistency of performance. This is especially evident in the Aerotech SteelFiber 110 CWT and Mitsubishi MMT, and UST Mamiya DART V shafts. That is because some of the heavy graphite shafts are actually designed to give similar ball flight as a Dynamic Gold S300 or X100 for example. 110 grams and heavier, the lower the launch, lower the spin, and potentially, harsher the feel. If you are looking for similar launch and spin to your current steel shafts you have to be pretty careful. Their new line of TGI shafts in the heavier weights definitely feels like steel! Other manufacturers like ACCRA, Graphite Design, Fujikura, Mitsubishi Chemical Golf, OBAN and UST Mamiya make heavy graphite iron shafts but may or may not feel like their steel counterparts. A brand new entrant into to graphite iron shafts this year is KBS or KB Steel. UST Mamiya uses special prepreg materials as well in their Recoil and Recoil Prototype shafts to give the weight and feel of graphite. The Mitsubishi Chemical Golf MMT shafts use a different technique of braiding the prepreg materials to give stronger feel yet less vibration. Their shafts include steel fibers to improve the consistency and feel of those shafts. Aerotech SteelFiber i95 and i110shafts are the industry leaders in that regard. But, to keep the feel at impact of steel you need some material advantage. Adding a softer grip like a Winn grip can help as well. Simply switching to a graphite shaft can reduce vibration over 30%. Less Vibration but the Feel of SteelĪ lot of players are looking for less vibration to alleviate pain from arthritic hands, golfer elbow or shoulder soreness.

This weight range is directly targeting golfers that have traditionally played standard weight steel and are looking for options in lighter weights and less vibration on off-center hits. I am talking about iron shafts that are in the 90 to 125 gram range. Heavy Graphite Iron Shafts Make It Easier to Switch From SteelĪs trends go, the move to heavy graphite iron shafts in 2023 is intensifying.
