    How do these shafts compare?

    Ok...so I don't know much when it comes to the technical aspects of a shaft. Here are the profiles of two hybrid shafts:

    Shaft #1 - weight: 86g, 2.6 torque
    Shaft #2 - weight: 106g, 2.3 torque

    Assuming each of these shafts was installed in an identical head (with the same swingweight etc.)...how would they differ from each other in terms of playing characteristics (ballflight etc.)? Would shaft#2 feel significantly stiffer than shaft#1?

    Thanks for the help.

    If they were to have the same swingweight then number 1 would have to be a bit longer unless a tip weight was added(but that would soften the flex a little). As a general rule less torque and heavier weight= stiffer so number 2 should feel stiffer .

    This is only a guess as other factors kick in such as where most of the bend takes place in a said shaft and torque values and stiffness values are not standard from one manufacturer to the next . As a general rule of thumb though hard hitters and fast swingers control a heavier shaft better.

    from my general knowledge, kick point would be one of the determining factors for ball flight.
