Understand that a graphite shaft spreads bending force over a larger range of the shaft length. Filling the shaft tip above the top of the hosel with anything prevents the shaft from flexing at a critical area and creates a large forceload in a small area of the shaft length causing the

Thanks for the EXCELLENT reply Burgess. You answered my questions with more detail then I expected. Looked at the PDA course URL, but there weren't any additional courses listed. Unfortunately, there is only one course in the list that my wife plays. So I'd have to enter all my courses

David Getting a driver to 210 grams is easy just bring it to my shop and we will get it done. We can also place the weight anywhere in the head you would like. Set up the shaft for length and bring the head and we will hit your target raw swing weight without any lead tape. Charlie B

But the torsional and shear strength of the graphite composite is lower than steel, which is why shaft manufacturers add additional material on the i.d. of the shaft near the tip so that the thicker material is stronger (particularly in shear). Coning lowers the risk of a sharp edge that will

I don't know, but I would guess it's the length of the advertised 'parallel tip section' plus a bit. Tom W. are you listening? Do you know the answer to that? Regards, Alan Brooks At 01:53 AM 10/16/2005 +, you wrote: Alan: Would you know how far up from tip that they reinforce the shaft?,
