What does a low spin driver shaft do?

What does a low spin driver shaft do?

Most low-spin driver heads reduce spin by 200 to 400 RPM, and sometimes more if fit with the correct shaft. The lower your RPMs—assuming you have the right launch conditions—the less the ball will spin and the further it will go.

What causes a low spin shaft?

So the stiffer the shaft and/or more tip stiff the shaft in relation to your clubhead speed and point of release, the less the shaft bends forward at impact and the more that shaft becomes a lower launch and lower spin shaft.

What does a low launch shaft mean?

A low launch shaft is much the same. If you get a bunch of golfers with different swings, and give them enough balls, you’ll see that the Pareto principle applies where a high launch shaft produces a higher flight 80% of the time and does the exact opposite for the remaining 20%.

Do you want high or low-spin on a driver?

The general rule of thumb is: the lower your clubhead speed and ball speed, the higher you need to launch the ball, and with more spin; and vice versa. According to Trackman, the average PGA TOUR player has a vertical launch angle of 11.2 degrees, and a spin rate of 2,685 rpm.

How do I know if I need a low-spin driver?

The clue is really in the name – if you spin the ball to a greater degree than is optimum for your club speed or the way you deliver the club, then yes, you could consider a low-spin driver.

Why is low spin good in a driver?

What many players don’t pay attention to, though, is how less spin also makes it harder to hit straighter drives, and therefore find fairways. Generally, low-spin models perform better in the hands of harder hitters (with higher swing speeds) and possibly golfers who hit down on the ball with a driver.

Does low spin mean more distance?

Spin Rate is the amount of spin on the golf ball immediately after impact. Spin rate has a major influence on the height and distance of a shot. The will help you control your ball flight and distance. More loft generally increases spin rate.

Does shaft affect spin?

For irons and drivers, the shaft type and its characteristics can have a significant effect on the sensation a player experiences during the swing and impact, while also influencing the launch and spin characteristics that can be achieved.

What is shaft spin?

Shaft spinning is the process of locating the optimal and most consistent bending position of the shaft.

Are Diamana shafts good?

Diamana consistently makes the smoothest feeling shafts in golf, and the new TB is no exception. For me, the kick starts just below the grip and effortlessly proceeds to the club head. There’s no feel of aggressive loading and snapping, just an unhurried transfer of energy to the ball.

What is the lowest spinning driver shaft?

The XPHLEXXX Agera was on average one of the highest spinning shafts, however, when we isolate shots with draw spin (technically, a left tilted axis), it presents as the lowest spinning shaft in the test.

What does high launch shafts mean?

A high launch shaft has a low bend point, or kick point as it’s called. This low kick point is what gives your ball a higher launch immediately after impact. The shaft on a high launch driver is more flexible, which makes it ideal for golfers with a slower swing speed and clubhead speed.

Are low spin shafts always low spin?

Our data shows unequivocally that so-called “low spin” shafts are not always the lowest spinning. In fact, they often produced substantially higher spin than their “high spin” brothers. In 3 of 7 tests, the shaft that produced the lowest spin was labeled high spin.

What is high launch shaft?

If the shaft has a low bend point, the launch angle and resulting trajectory of the golf shot will be high. This term is also known as the Kick Point. This term is being replaced by Trajectory or Launch characteristics. A High Trajectory or High Launch shaft will have a low Bend Point and visa versa.
