Re: What Long Distance Shaft?

Long Drive shafts are measured different that USGA shafts. A LD shaft is measured while the club is sitting on it's toe the length cannot exceed 52" the shafts generally are 2" shorter by USGA measurements.

The winningest shaft in LDA history is Accuflex, Jody Baucom put's out some awesome shaft, a recently released model is using nano technology. Mercury Golf in my opinion has the best LD shaft on the market right now. I am helping test an up and comer Aggressive Shafts from Low Pro Golf. I am making recommendation for improvements to the prototypes. It will be out at the PGA show.

Yes, you will see alot of Harrisons and Penleys represented. The Remax long drive championship will be webcast next weekend. I'm still trying to get off work to go!!!
