Great Deals On Callaway Golf Shafts
A popular choice among Callaway golf shafts is the Lady X Hybrid with Graphite Shaft The X Hybrid
Callaway golf shafts provide the ultimate in stainless steel hybrid performance with X Series styling and
playability.
A modified X-Sole design provides hybrid versatility, cutting
through the thick rough while sliding smoothly over tight fairways, as well as lowering the leading edge to help
get the ball airborne quickly and easily.
The Lady X Hybrid is a winner among Callaway golf shafts with
increased perimeter weighting with an optimized center of gravity position results in a high moment of inertia for
greater stability and increased trajectory control.
The Callaway Golf X Hybrids utilize patented Callaway Golf shaft
technologies including VFT technology to maximize ball speed and perimeter weighting for more distance and
forgiveness, S2H2 to increase discretionary weight by removing it from the hosel and reposition it in the
perimeter, and Tru-Bore technology to provide improved feel and club head control.
The correct shaft selection depends largely on your swing speed.
Generally, shafts come in one of three or four flex categories: L (ladies), R (regular), S (stiff), and XS (extra
stiff).
Callaway Golf uses such terms as Uniflex, Firm, Extra Firm etc. It
can be a bit confusing because there isn’t an industry standard relative to the swing speeds for each flex
category.
In general, swing speeds with a driver that are below 80 or 85
would require an R flex, while speeds of 85 to 95 or 100 would need an S flex. Each manufacturer will have a set of
recommended swing speeds for each of their flexes.
The kick point, or bend point, of the shaft helps determine the
trajectory of ball flight. Shafts have either a low, middle or high kick point. If you want a lower
trajectory then choose a shaft with a high kick point. On the other hand, if
you want a higher trajectory, choose a low kick point shaft.
The difference between flighted shafts and
standard shafts is the kick point. Standard Project X shafts do not have a variable graduated kick-point. This
means throughout the entire set the flex-point in every shaft is in the same position.
Before I move on I want to explain the meaning of
the word ‘hosel.’ On an iron golf club the head and the shaft is connected by a socket known as an
hosel.
So if the flex-point in your 9 iron is 10 inches
from the hosel, it is going to be in the exact location in your 3 iron. The result is that your 3 iron is going
to have a dramatically lower ball-flight than your 9 iron.
With flighted shafts the kick point for a 9 iron
will be closer to the butt-end of the club. Then as you move through the set the kick-point in each successive
club will gradually move closer to the club head. This means that your 3 irons flex-point may be only 4 or five
inches from the hosel.
All of your irons will have a very similar
initial trajectory as a result. Your long irons will fly higher and your short irons will have a flatter
trajectory.
So, if you have a problem ballooning your short
irons and getting your long irons to fly high and then land soft, you may be best in selecting flighted
shafts.
There are specialized shaft flexes like A for
senior W for woman R for regular S for stiff and XS for xtra stiff. The uniflex shafts are designed so that
instead of having the 3 A, W and R flex, just one shaft can be used to supplement all three swing speeds within
one shaft.
