I tend to agree with Dave T's thoughts. In fact, I wonder if some engineer
type could do the math on what kind of force a ball hit would have on the
shaft tip at the hozel line. My guess is that an average shaft, hit
on the sweet spot, would not break at those speeds. Just a guess. My

What shafts are breaking? Try something that is
tip re-enforced(Harrison comes to mind). Some
manufacturers may offer special order shafts for
this purpose. Also might try a bi-matrix shaft.

Well it might be -- but that's not my favorite theory, at least in part
because I can't think of a reason that a torsionally stiffer shaft should
be less likely to break in torsion. Now if it were a torsionally STRONGER
shaft...
Which brings us to...
Let's think about how Harrison is likely to
He probably has the wrong frequency shaft. I recently had a long drive guy
who was breaking shafts until I fitted him into a softer shaft that matched
his timing and he did not break any more shafts.

He had a Harrison 1.8 in 1 of his drivers and it lasted longer then the
Harrison 2.5's that he prefers. It very well could be torsional stress that
is causing all the breaking.

J. What I think is wrong is the clubmaker is allowing some, even a very small amount, of epoxy into the shaft. the one thing that most van clubmakers do for big hitters is make sure that the club they are building has a lot of head / shaft room. The older clubheads use only about 1.5

Leaving the paint should not be a source for the problem. Nicking or
