ShopTalk: Parallel vs Taper

2002-11-06 Thread Thomson, Jim
The recent discussion on Lob Wedge Swingweighting got me thinking. Based on a lot of personal experimentation and a recent corroborating Shaft Lab session I'm probably going to reshaft my irons. I'm currently using Titleist 962s with DG S300s. Since the 962s have a tapered hosel bore, I have two

ShopTalk: X flex shafts

2002-11-06 Thread jhm
I talked to a guy today that told me he has a 110 mph swing, likes reg irons and X flex shafts. Said he feels he gets more roll and total distance (maybe a little less carry) and hits it a lot straighter. Has anyone had any experience (and luck) going over their heads with super stiff X flex

Some random thoughts: Taper vs parallel INSIDE the hosel I believe doesn't matter. The hosel has much more resistance to flex characteristics than shaft does at this point. If all OUTSIDE the hosel characteristics are the same between the 2, then expect the same performance. I'm not aware of

John, There is an old axiom in fitting that says put them in the longest softest shaft they can hit properly. First of all, what ball flight are you trying to change? A mandatory part of fitting is that it feels good. Going with XX shafts will have to feel good and the golfer will have to

Alberto: It is the old axiom (axiom's, axia?) that I always wonder about...I've mentioned before my favorite book is How We Know What Isn't So. I've always followed the longest/softest theory and never tried shafting up the ol' telephone pole and simply wondered if the longer/softer theory was

Of course there is another axiom that says never test a new club in cold weather. Therefore, you must go south to test the new club. I am available. Al At 11:27 PM 11/6/2002, you wrote: Alberto: It is the old axiom (axiom's, axia?) that I always wonder about...I've mentioned before my

John, In theory the old axiom works. You can hit a softer flex almost as long as stiffer flex and usually more accurate. I've never put much store in it and I think it drove Britt Lindsay and Mike Dugan nuts. They had me hit the stiffest shafted driver at GS and the most flexible. I did hit the
