Doc Griffin - Shaft Myths (Part 1)

Wed, 05/09/2012 - 19:52 -- Don Trahan

PPGS Director of Club Fitting Operations, Doc Griffin wanted to discuss some common myths about shafts. There are many misconceptions about the different types of shafts and what they are all designed to do. Today, Doc will talk about the misunderstanding that the shaft is the engine of the club.

Much like the transmission of a vehicle, the shaft serves to transmit energy. It is not the source of the energy or the "engine" of the golf club. Rather, the shaft transfers the engery from our bodies as we swing the golf club. Since we all swing a golf club differently in some way or another, it's important that the shafts we use transfer this energy in the most useful way possible.

I'll let Doc explain it in more detail, just check out the video!
