Comparison requested: ProForce65 vs. Prolite 3.5 (both S-Flex)
Can anyone tell me how these compare? I love the PF65 and am looking for another. On the other hand, I have a PL3.5 that is not shafted but have never played it. Any experience with both of these would be appreciated.
My SS = 107mph
quick tempo

I don't think you'll find much of a difference between these shafts. Both have very similar characteristics. Firm tip, low torque (same value I believe). About the only difference I know between them is that the PF is a little heavier. I've hit both shafts and ball flight and feel were very similar. If anything, the ProLite felt a little softer (maybe not as firm a tip)????

thanks Geoff
I was hoping to hear that the tips were more similar

Agree with Geoff. These used to be my two favorite shafts in their day as they played very similar. If you like one you will surely like the other. Both are very tip stiff.

Disagree
Prolite stiff is stiffer than proforce stiff (65 gr version)

Are you sure Reid? Just one quick note. Every year every component company spends a lot of time and money profiling shafts. I am surprised to see that not too many people use that tool when selecting a shaft. Take the Golfworks for example. (other companies do it as well ). If you look under the playabilty factor
http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_PF65W you can pretty much compare 2 different shafts. The Proforce stiff has a 4b1m profile and so does the Prolite. http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_TT202211. In other words both shafts will perform pretty much the same.Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

This link provides how the playability factor is determined.

much more accurate than Golfworks and it will tell you which one is stiffer

Dsfi of 96 vs 98
Prolite is stiffer

Also worth noting in the DSFI is that they now measure relative tip stiffness.

Thanks for all the info guys. It was interesting, although I already know and ignore those charts.
I think I'll keep judging my shafts the old fashioned way... by feel and frequency meter. Regardless of whose chart you use , these two shafts both fit meThe opinions expressed in this post are mine and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of others on OG.

I understand where you are coming from. Have you ever profiled shafts? BC has not profiled each and every shaft that's out here. Simply impossible.Rather I believe he purchased Wishon's data done by PCS members. Back to Golfworks. I beg to differ. It is not a marketing tool. The testing on all shafts were done using Iron Byron. The machine does not take under consideration over the top moves nor big inside out swing however it uses different swing speeds and the data is recorded.Live as if you were to die tomorrow.

PF65 vs PL35
Guys,
Played twice on the weekend. Both shafts work for me.... Hopefully, I'm all set for a while.
Thanks
