HK. had once said on the subject of shaft stiffness, “the stiffer the better” and suggested that even an Axe handle may be used in lieu of a normal golf club shaft. When this statement occurred, Club Heads were carved from Persimmon and Shafts were made of steel and D4 Swing Weights were common among faster swing players.
In light of Titanium Club Heads and the extremely advanced shaft technology that exists today including design, material and fitting, how well do my fellow TGM’ers think HK’s statement holds true today? What about feel? How many are willing to go out tomorrow and have their shafts replaced with Triple X? How many already have? What are the reasons that over 200 shafts are available today?
I agree with HK. His statement is as true today as it was 30 years ago.
