Are UST Mamiya shafts good? ›

The UST Mamiya Recoil graphite iron shafts are an extremely solid option, regardless of your shaft material preference. There may be a stigma attached to playing graphite iron shafts, but Recoil all but eradicates it after one swing. They feel absolutely similar to steel, and in my case much more stable.

To achieve maximum distance, UST has optimized hoop stiffness throughout every critical energy transfer point throughout the shaft. Both robot and human testing have shown these design features to be superior to other iron shafts on the market in terms of distance and consistent ball flight.

The new UST Mamiya Helium Nanocore is the next generation of ultra-lightweight Helium shafts. Through a “25% lower resin content” material, UST Mamiya was able to make a more stable profile while keeping the overall weight way down. The end result is a shaft with easy launch, solid stability, and consistent control.

In general, older golfers or senior players with slower swing speeds should generally use graphite shafts. However, there are many senior players who are more suited to steel shafts. As with any other golfer, it comes down to ball flight, swing speed and shot disperion, not your age.

The best driver shaft flex for a mid handicap golfer will normally be regular or stiff. A regular shaft is best for people with swing speeds between 80-90 MPH while a stiff shaft is best for people with swing speeds between 90-100 MPH.

Do any pros use ACCRA shafts? ›

ACCRA has been a leader on PGA Tours around the globe, with multiple wins every season since its introduction on PGA, European PGA, Champions, Nationwide, and LPGA tours. More than 60 wins can be attributed to players using ACCRA shafts on the PGA and Euro PGA Tours since our inception.

Graphite shafts are considered to be for the slower swing speed players. Since graphite shafts are built for more distance, they help players increase their ball speed and get better trajectories on their shots.

Yes, graphite shafts are the best choice for most seniors. As I mentioned, the shaft plays a major role in ball striking, consistency, and distance. The overwhelming majority of senior players would benefit from using a graphite shaft.

Typically, graphite shafts will launch the ball higher than steel, which is why they remain suitable for lady and senior golfers. But high speed players seeking a penetrating flight can also experience this with graphite because of how stiff it can be made.

Senior golfers can gain more distance by selecting a longer driver shaft. A longer driver shaft will provide you with more wider swing arc and help get more distance from your driver.

Iron Shafts

Choose a graphite or steel shaft with a Swing Speed Rating of 70 to 80 mph.

Let us not forget that lighter shafts are better for many golfers, too. There are two factors that are critical to increasing distance, and lighter shafts can help with both factors. These factors are: The Speed The Club Head Is Travelling At Impact.

A golfer using a shaft that is too flexible may experience a ball flight that is too high, a ball that spins too much, or a shot pattern that has inconsistent dispersion.

Below 70 mph = Ladies. 70 to 80 mph = Strong Ladies or Senior. 80 to 90 mph = Regular. 90 and above = Stiff.

Recreational players average 80 to 95 mph, which calls for a softer flex. If you have a good swing but your average distance is short, there is a problem with your shaft flex. If the shaft flex is too stiff, your average distance will remain low.

What shaft is best for 110 mph swing speed? ›

Swing Speed 95-105, Distance 211 - 250 yards

Fitting Tips: Typical shaft weights in 55 to 65 grams but some players with fast transitions may like a heavier 70+ gram shaft. If you think you are losing distance, try a lighter, 55 gram shaft or a counter balanced shaft, but make sure it plays stiff enough.

PGA Tour Swing Speed With Irons and Wedges

That leaves a 4-iron around 97 mph, a 5-iron around 95 mph, a 6-iron around 93 mph, a 7-iron around 91 mph, an 8-iron around 89 mph and a 9-iron around 87 mph. Wedge clubhead speed varies greatly depending on the type of shot a professional is trying to play.

The regular flex golf shaft is more flexible and easier for slower swing speed golfers to swing than the stiff flex golf shaft. A stiff flex golf shaft creates more resistance in the swing of a golfer. Therefore when they attempt to hit the ball with a bit more speed, they can get the incredible distance.

IMPROVE SPEED AND PATH

Mucklow's data also shows that a heavier shaft improves your swing path. For every 10 grams of weight, the club's path—which should come from inside the target line on the downswing—improves by a full degree.

If you research what driver gives you the most distance, Project X shafts will always be there. This is a stiff flex driver shaft and designed for golfers who swing close to, or over, 100 mph. The higher kick point will reduce ball flight and spin.

Because of the material and production differences, there's usually a price tag difference as well. While they may look identical on the outside, the aftermarket version of a shaft is housing better performance and for most golfers, that's worth a slight increase in cost.

If you're swinging the driver above 105 mph, it might be time to get some X stiff shafts in your set. Stiff – This range is still considered fast, but you most likely won't be out on Tour anytime soon. If you're between 97 and 104 mph with the driver, you need a stiff flex.

What is UST recoil shaft? ›

Recoil DART Iron shafts are designed to provide increased consistency, optimal feel, and precise ball flight for all golfers. Recoil DART 90/105. Recoil DART Iron shafts are designed to provide increased consistency, optimal feel, and precise ball flight for all golfers.

Most professional golfers use Extra Stiff Flex clubs, so unless you're headed to Augusta National sometime soon, you likely don't need one. But, if your average club head speed is 110 miles per hour or more and you're consistently hitting with a distance of around 270 yards, an Extra Stiff Flex staff could be for you.

The 5 Basic Shaft Flexes

The L stands for ladies flex, A for amateur or senior flex today, R is regular flex, S is stiff flex and finally X is an extra stiff flex. You could add a 6th and that is Junior or Jr for short.

Regular – 5.0. Regular Plus – 5.5. Stiff – 6.0. Extra Stiff – 6.5. Extra Stiff Plus – 7.0.

Rory's driver is a 9º head, with the hosel adaptor set a notch lower so the loft plays more like 8.5º. The sliding sole weight is in a pretty neutral position, and the shaft is a Fujikura Ventus Black 6X tipped one inch (to make it play stiffer).

With only 6° of loft and a second weight added to the front to reduce spin, Phil's prototype Epic Speed is almost in long-driver contest specs. Lefty uses a Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X shaft that is 47.9 inches long, which just sneaks under the 48-inch limit.

A golf shaft that is too weak will flex excessively throughout the golf swing, creating an inconsistent release point. Swinging with a weak shaft flex can hurt you in both windy and wet conditions.

More recently, players like Abe Ancer (Mitsubishi MMT) and Bryson DeChambeau (LA Golf) have switched to graphite iron shafts. And if we're willing to look beyond the PGA Tour, you'll see plenty of LPGA Tour players with graphite iron shafts.

As Briand explains, the weight of a shaft has less impact on swing speed than golfers think, but that lighter shafts could increase the rate of closure.

How far should a 60 year old man hit his irons? ›

From experience, most golfers will tell you that the 7-iron is the easiest club to master. A 5-iron will go further, and you can be on the green in three if you are lucky, but a 7-iron will go at least 120-130 yards, getting you easily on the green in four.

The best golf irons for seniors overall are the TaylorMade Stealth Irons. This set boasts unparalleled accuracy, an excellent feel, and a one-of-a-kind design. These Taylormade Irons are known for their durability, light weight, and forgiveness, making them perfect for senior golfers.

Graphite shafts are lighter in weight and, therefore easier to swing faster with the same amount of force. For a senior golfer that is starting to lose speed, the initial switch to the graphite shaft may help them earn all of their speed back, and feel more in control.

Graphite is an excellent option for golfers that need an additional help creating club head speed due to its lightness and can be helpful to golfers with injuries that are looking to cut down on the additional vibration that may be caused by steel.

For mid to high handicappers (with a slower swing speed), you'll want both a lighter shaft and probably a regular flex. As you groove a more consistent swing, you'll likely go from regular to stiff (or maybe x-stiff), and possibly a heavier shaft as well.

The lighter the shaft, the faster the club can be swung. The faster the club is moving, the farther the ball goes. It is why the most popular weight for driver shaft-weights on the PGA Tour is still in the mid-60-gram range, with some players having tried shafts less than 50 grams.

Ever since the inception of KBS Shafts in 2008, the shaft brand has garnered respect by Tour Players around the world, and is currently played on all major Tours, including the PGA Tour, by more than 150 Tour professionals.

The Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 60 is the ideal driver shaft for golfers with swing speeds at or around 100 mph. With increased trajectory and spin, more distance, better stability, and reduced golf shot dispersion, this shaft is made for the aggressive golf swing.

Too light of a shaft encourages an early unhinging of the wrists in the downswing, a swing flaw shown here with an iron known as casting that robs you of speed. Mucklow's data also shows that a heavier shaft improves your swing path.

What happens if golf shaft is too heavy? ›

A shaft that's too heavy will cause a “labored golf swing.” A shaft that's too light will hurt your ability to make solid contact. When you find the right shaft weight, you'll experience a “high energy swing” with uniform contact.

If your driver's shaft is too stiff, the clubhead may not square with the ball at the point of impact, causing slices and fades. If you can't feel the weight of the clubhead loading through the shaft, it's probably too stiff, and can cause errors and issues associated with accuracy such as these.

The average driver shaft length on Tour is roughly 44.75 inches, give or take a half-inch in either direction depending on preference. Contrary to what some might think, there isn't a run on longer shafts as a way to chase more distance.

If you can swing your driver around 100mph and maintain a high but piercing ball flight, the Dynamic Gold S300 could be a good stock shaft for your golf irons. If you happen to go for a golf fitting, the perfect shaft will be measured not by the swing of your driver but by your irons.
