Re: Graphite Vs. Steel

Mizumoman,


I agree the TX-90 is an outstanding shaft but there is one thing that should probably be looked at prior to selecting a shaft and that is the flight trajectory that the player wants. The TX-90 has a low kick-point which as you know results in a high trajectory. As for myself, I love the light weight of the TX-90 but with a 5-iron swing speed of 85-90mph, a high trajectory kills me. I have found that my shots tend to perform better with a mid (or boring) trajectory.

So to the person asking about shafts, if you have a slower swing speed and either need some assistance in getting the ball up or just prefer a high trajectory, definately go with the TrueTemper TX-90....it's a fantastic shaft. If you're like me and prefer more of a mid trajectory or even a low trajectory, you'll want to pick a different shaft.

In short, do your research on the various shafts that you're looking at and choose the one that matches your desired result. If you want an easy way to see the trajectory of the various shafts that are out there, you can go to http://www.golfsmith.com/cm/browse.php?N=392203 and select the shaft you're looking at and see the various characteristics of that shaft.
