    I don't understand

    My question is; why does my driver have a 65 reax shaft, I am pretty sure that means grams, and my 5 wood have a 75 reax shaft?

    I was just curious and could not find anyone I play with to provide an answer.

    No, I have never had anyone test my swing speed, but when I was hitting the 5 wood on the simulator it said swing speed 99 and ball 137. I wasn't even looking at those stats when I was using my driver on the simulator, just how far it was going

    Thanks in advance,
    Gardiner

    Driver shafts are usually lighter than fairway wood shafts in order to increase swing seed. I have one that is 45 grams.
