Which Golf Shaft is Best

[@guylacroix2943]

I live near the Accra headquarters in Kingston Ontario. Was recently in for a fitting and we chose the icwt 95 for my irons. Took away my miss (pull hook) and helped with my dispersion. The switch from steel to graphite has gone smoothly and playing from the centre of the fairway most of the time is a welcome change.

Great video? What heads are you putting the new shafts in?

[@gateslattes4686]

Was fit with the KBs pgi graphie shaft stiff 85 Hopefully it works!

[@McGolf]

I’m sure it will , it is a quality shaft

[@scottmonthony726]

My question involves the flex. I did a bunch of testing this winter on carbon iron shafts. Found one I liked results on as far as feel, distance dispersion. But testing the lie angle again after playing a few rounds, (I was missing right, right hand player) it shows I need flatter. I went as far as checking stop action video at impact, the club head is going toe down. Causing the face to open and the reading of the dynamic lie. But this flex and bend profile is the nicest I've hit in a long time. So, should I just bend the clubs flatter, to offset the shaft bending down at impact? Or go back to a stiff shaft profile. I'm 62 and it took a lot to pry the DG S300 out of my hands. LoL.

I'm far from an expert on this stuff but I would probably bend them upright. I have the same problem except I go left (southpaw). According to pings chart I'm supposed to be 2 degrees upright, other charts say about 3 degrees. I find myself trying to compensate for it with standard lie clubs and my body starts doing weird things. As soon as I figure out my new to me loft and lie bender I'm gonna bend mine.

[@scottmonthony726]

I'm the same by their static measurement chart. Though never bothered with the 2° from standard. Found most OEM off the rack heads were slightly upright from the standard chart. So I could make them work. 😮

[@MichaelM-to4sg]

You need to go more upright, not flatter. You’re getting shaft droop, which is common, and can be seen in dynamic lie on a sim. Need to see what your dynamic lie is and bend heads upright, if possible. If they are cast clubs, leave adjustments to a professional, they may need to apply some heat to bend them without breaking. Forged heads are typically very easy to bend, though I’d still leave to a pro fitter to set them consistently. Flatter lie will only exacerbate your issues

Great video and thought provoking. I’m 67 with handicap 12. 7 iron distance around 120 yards, swing speed around 68 mph. Currently have TaylorMade SIM2 max irons with Senior recoil graphite shafts. Not much of a fan of the shafts and thinking about changing. Probably a silly question but any recommendations on new shafts😊😊😊

[@victorperezjr.8122]

Good afternoon Jim, what can you you about the accra steel irons shafts? I'm a low handicap

[@thisjustanother]

a fitter had me in the 95g elevate stiff. went to another fitter and said i was better in nippon modus 120 stiff. the differences from fitters is most irritating. i went with the nippon for less work in the swing.

[@mediocregolfer8922]

Go with what feels best.

[@kall3467]

​@@mediocregolfer8922 Agreed My personal thought is fittings are subjective anyway. You can go to three different doctors and get three different diagnoses. Same with a fitting. It really boils down to what the individual likes and feels right.

[@McGolf]

If you were able to compare the 95 to 120 to compare each instead of comparing fit to fit then you can make a personal selection

[@sageagbonkhese4091]

Those two shafts have different bend profiles and tips. Another underrated point is how many swings you are making in your fitting.

[@MichaelM-to4sg]

I’m curious about exactly what “constant weight” is. Does this mean that every shaft with respect to its length is identical mass, ie a 6 iron shaft is traditionally 1/2” longer than a 7 iron shaft but in this model they will weigh the same? Since a 6 iron head is typically 7-8 grams lower mass than the 7 iron of same model, does this make it easier to match swingweight throughout a set?

[@GOLFADDICT65]

I am looking to get a 7 wood in the Qi10 Max and was wondering what type of KBS shaft i should put in it i have a swing speed of 90-94 mph with my driver 59 years old handicap of about 7 i normally hit a high ball pretty straight I am unable to go for a fitting due to my location i look forward to your thoughts thx cheers from Canada

[@snuddisnaer]

What fitting adaptors are you using?

[@terrywittek3496]

What if you tipped the iCWT 1/2"?

[@douglastaylor43]

Does the characteristics of the shaft change due to temperature?

[@CamMacMastermusic]

That’s a great question actually!

[@McGolf]

If you are toeing down and hitting to the right I would consider bending the lie upright

[@scottmonthony726]

I thought that might be the case. A little off what the "book" says, but in line with ball flight. Thank you for your channel. Your information is really critical to us home shop gear heads. I'm bending clubs today. 😅

[@MichaelM-to4sg]

@@scottmonthony726Not sure what “book” you’re referring to. I’d suggest you read it incorrectly, if not, throw the book away it is fundamentally wrong. Get yourself to a trained fitting professional, they will set proper lie based on your dynamic lie from sim

[@jasonroberts2049]

Jeesh.... Go to a CC near you. 🎉

[@robertmelvin4493]

I would pick the ACCRA CW 95 shaft --Why didnt you make a comment about the Ball Spin - 1,000 more spin for the ACCRA CW95

[@McGolf]

The dispersion was better with the other and feel felt better although the cwt is a great shaft

[@jasonroberts2049]

Accra Icwt is a tapered, discreet length shaft... there is NO tipping!
