Because graphite shafts are offered in such a range of weights, profiles, and flexes, the best recommendation is always to be fit by one of our Charter Dealers or a trusted club fitter. Club fittings are essential to dialing in the correct equipment for your
In the early stages, graphite shafts were designed and engineered to be a lighter weight alternative to steel shaft options, especially in the wood category. Graphite shafts were additionally offered in iron configurations, also in a lightweight package, contributing to graphite’s reputation as a product
Graphite offers an incredible amount of flexibility when designing a golf shaft. Just about any combination you can imagine regarding weight, flex, bend points, torque values, etc. are not only achievable with graphite, but we’re also able to adjust these factors independently of one another.
Composite golf shafts consist of sheets of graphite material of varying weights and strengths that are cut to exacting dimensions and wrapped around a steel rod called a “mandrel”. The graphite is then vacuum wrapped and sealed before being heated to cure. Once cured, the
After selecting the materials that best compliment the shaft’s design, we move to selecting or designing the correct tooling. The “tool” used in creating a graphite shaft known as a mandrel. Mandrels are steel, cylindrical rods around which composite materials are wrapped and cured to
Once our three fundamental questions and performance attributes have been outlined, we then strategically select the materials needed for the product. Graphite shafts are made with advanced composite materials known as CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastics). We utilize products with MCFC (maximum carbon fiber content)
Developing the world’s best performing golf shafts starts with understanding what golfers need. This initial step in shaft design begins the ideation process for our engineering and design teams to understand and outline performance needs and target player benefits. enso® Created by Fujikura in 2013
