What is considered high torque in a golf shaft?

So for most golfers, as long the torque of a graphite shaft is between 3.5 and 5.5 degrees – which is the case for the vast majority of graphite shafts today – the golfer will be OK and torque will never be a factor to worry about in the shaft fitting.

What is considered low torque in a golf shaft?

A low-torque shaft may allow only 2 degrees (or less) of twist, while a high-torque shaft might go all the way to 6 degrees.

What does torque on a golf shaft mean?

WHAT IS TORQUE? Shaft torque is measured by a device that records the amount a shaft will twist under a certain amount of force, and it’s recorded in degrees. A shaft with 3 degrees of torque will twist less than a shaft with 5 degrees of torque, and so on.

What does a lighter golf grip do?

Lightweight grips are designed to reduce the static weight of the club and lower the balance-point closer to the clubhead, thus preserving or increasing swing weight.

What weight golf shaft should I use?

In general, golfers with slower swing speed and tempo can and should play a lighter shaft. Golfers with very fast speeds and tempo should play heavier shafts. Driver shafts typically weigh 55-60 grams for men and 45-50 grams for ladies. Iron shafts can be as light as 55 grams in graphite, and 130 grams in steel.

What weight of shaft should I use?

In general, golfers with slower swing speed and tempo can and should play a lighter shaft. Golfers with very fast speeds and tempo should play heavier shafts. Driver shafts typically weigh 55-60 grams for men and 45-50 grams for ladies.

What kick point should I use golf?

Unless you think you have a significant problem with a ball flight that is too low or too high, the mid-kick point golf club will be the best choice. The mid-kick point drivers are easiest to find in the game improvement category of golf clubs.

Does lighter grip increase swing weight?

Installing a larger or smaller grip will affect the swingweight in the same manner as adding tape near the grip. If your new grip is heavier than the piece it replaces, the swingweight decreases; if the new grip is lighter, the swingweight increases.
