Shaft Profile Question???

[TonyJackelin]

Does anyone know how to find out the profile of a graphite shaft?
I have an X100 and love the way the shaft feels
Unfortunately the shaft weight is too much for the newer driver heads and I am trying to find out some technology links or data to find a shaft that has teh same profile but half the weight


Please no HBO's

I actually asked this same question a few years ago and got no response. So we will see if there are any answers this time.

You can buy shaft profile S/W, which I believe includes a database, from Wishon Golf.

Another alternative is to check out the DSFI ratings on the Hireko/Dynacraft site.

Tom Wishon Golf Technology profiles shafts and offers software containing information for about 350 shafts. Using a 454 g tip weight he measures the frequency of each shaft at, 11", 16", 21", 26", 31", 36" and 41" from the tip.

Your TT DG X shaft has frequencies of 738, 452, 327, 273, 231, 194 and 174 cpms respectively. Three shafts of similar profile are:
Graffaloy Prolite 45, S
UST HTD 60, S
Harrison Striper Pro, R

Keep in mind that the shafts main contributions to the club are FEEL and TOTAL WEIGHT. I am sure that you know the feel will be totally different from the TT DG, even though the bending of the shaft throughout your swing, will be similar.

Thanks Fellas
This is very informative

Is there a list or link to a web site with all of these profiles?

Not aware of any, although I am sure that someone, somewhere has done a lot of profiling. Perhaps Tim Hewitt at "myostrichgolf" has done some.

I just purchased the software from Wishon for my own use.

There is this new website where you can join and view some profiles. It's free.
It's only been around for 2 months.

Thanks for the link. They have my favourite wood shaft in the database already (Saber 75) so I can look for an equivalent!
