Yesterday I noted what the head of maintenance and repair from Golfsmith indicated was the main reason was for re-shafting your clubs, for consistency. I thought a lot after the conversation just what it is that makes a stock shaft any different than an aftermarket shaft. After all, an aftermarket shaft can cost up to $279.00 for the shaft alone! There must be a reason for it.

Getting Shafted
In past posts I discussed some of the more basic attributes to golf shafts. You have the regular shafts, stiff, etc and in future posts we will talk about swing speeds and appropriate fit “shafting”. Today being Tuesday, I am going back into the more technical side of golf, specifically the shaft. This is an area I simply don’t know much about myself since I have had no experience or tried an aftermarket shaft. What I did do is speak with the head of the installation and repair at the Golfsmith in Irvine while I was there during the grand opening last Friday. I found the conversation very interesting since there was a good amount of time to talk with him about why people change their shafts and some of the benefits. I learned much that day and thought you might like it as well. I am going to break this post into two as there is much information and I have many notes to go though so I will post part two tomorrow.

The Details Of The Golf Iron
A golf iron consists of the Shaft, Hosel, Face, Sole and Back. There is also a grip, I am choosing to not include it in this discussion only because it is a piece that is consumed quite rapidly and is another topic all together.
