Pat, I'd like to catch you here and others who have experience with the Graphite Design Purple Ice shaft. I believe in one of your "attachment" posts you said you have been playing a version of the shaft. Is this shaft comparable to the Fuji shafts? What do you find unique about it?

Your item 3 is where Fuji Japan has been going with their shafts for the last 2 or so years - mid kick shafts that seem to play a bit softer than they frequency, and low torque. Kinda suprising they play so well..... :-) Pat -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 9:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ShopTalk: How to pick torque? Seems like quite the difference of opinion but it is starting to make a little sense (I think). Dave, I have been out of engineering school for quite some time but your math looks right to me. From that and some of these posts we can generalize a bit. 1. Stronger swingers and maybe faster tempos need lower torques? 2. Bigger (wider) heads need lower torque? 3. The next thing then is could we maybe move a customer into a softer flex with lower torque to improve distance without a loss of accuracy or is that too much of a streach?
