[zigwah]

What do heavy shafts feel like to swing?

[sms316]

What colour is blue?

[zigwah]

is that the best you can come up with?

What do lamb chops taste like?

[sms316]

They feel heavier zig. I used a 3 wood with a graphite shaft for a while and hated it. Went back to steel, and the club feels significantly heavier.

[zigwah]

so a heaver shaft can't be whippy then?

[sms316]

Of course it can. Heavier shafts come in all flexes.

[zigwah]

Just wanted to know because i just to experiment with one to acually see what one does without dropping a heap of coin on one.

He hated the light shaft in his 3w.

What did you hate about a heavier shaft?
I hated the lighter shaft. I found that I struggled with swing tempo from time to time. I've probably given up 5-10m with my 3w by going back to steel, but I hit it a hell of a lot more accurately.

so, a reg shast a stiff shaft and x shaft weighing all the same the reg would be the whippiest? I'm just really wanting to know the characteristics of different weighted and diff flex shafts in laymans terms, same the tip and the cog.

[zigwah]

so reg flex max distance x flex lose distance more control? then what changes the ball flight?

[sms316]

The weakest flex will be the "whippiest", regardless of what material it is made out of.

They say anything bigger than a hand full is a waste.

I say "give me bigger hands"!

[markTHEblake]

I've tried a lot of shafts (Diamana 53, 63, 73, 83; NV65, 85, 105; GD PM 702, 902) and I have always found heavier versions of the same shaft to feel smoother and more solid.

Did you find with the heavier shafts that you felt the head or the shaft?

And does shaft weight increase clubhead speed?

[zigwah]

does anyone have any older heavier shafts they dont want anymore, and would get rid of for peanuts, that i can mess around with and experiment pulling shafts ad see first hand what diferent shafts do in the same head

I generally find that I feel the head better with a heavy shaft. No appreciable change in clubhead speed (I would have expected a DECREASE from first principles).

I've got some NV 105s in stiff... don't know where you are and whether they can be shipped easily?
