Golf Shaft Deep Dive Series

Understanding golf shaft technology and how they benefit your game can be difficult. The sheer volume of shaft options on the market can be staggering, especially since there is no industry standard for flex type. How can you possibly know which golf shaft is right for your game?

We put together a deep dive series on the Golf Unfiltered TikTok account recently to help answer some of the most common questions about golf shafts. You can view this five-part series below.

Part 1: Golf Shaft Bend Profiles

The first video in our series introduces the concept of golf shaft bend profiles: different types of bend at the tip, middle, and butt of the shaft. These can differ widely from one shaft type to the next for very specific reasons.

Part 2: Understanding golf shaft markings

What are all those number and letter combinations on your golf shaft? In this video, we try to explain a few of the more common markings you’ll see when purchasing a new golf shaft or golf club.

Part 3: Understanding Golf Shaft Frequency

Since no two golf shaft flexes are the same across the board, we have to think about another measurement when choosing a golf shaft: shaft frequency. Learn more about this concept in our third video.

Part 4: Steel golf shafts vs graphite golf shafts

Golf shaft technology has come a long way over the years, providing golfers more options than ever before. Why would you choose graphite over steel shafts, and what are the potential benefits of doing so?

Part 5: Golf Shaft Checklist

What are the top three things you should look for when purchasing a new golf shaft? In this video we offer a few recommendations to consider.
