A experienced golf experts Tom Wishon said: the driver shaft is too long, and has low degree of loft so that golfers looking for a distance at the expense of accuracy and coordination.
How long is the standard golf shaft?
Tom Wishoncreated its own golf technology center, and he has always believed that the One can have a farther distance with short driver shaft. Simply put: current golf shafts on the market are mostly 45 inches long, but 43 inch driver hit the ball far better than driver of 45 inches. This statement does not seem consistent with common sense, but Wishon insisted that the short shaft can swing more coordinated, and have more stable grip so you can hit the ball farther.TaylorMade R9 SuperTri Driver is such one for you.
"A lot of players think mechanically that shaft can hit the ball farther, but the reality is quite the opposite. For most players, the long shaft will reduce the power on the head, and the chance to hitting the sweet spot is relatively small, so naturally the ball far from the flight distance. "Wishon is not the only one who held this view, but his statement has more authoritative.
Wishon begins his golf career from an assistant of the clubs experts, and then as the main design of golf club staff join the Dynacraft Golf, also served a similar position at Golfsmith . Titleist had a great interest in Wishon, and hope he can join, but Wishon insists himself. He designed his own head, and then with different shaft and other components sales. On April of 2005, Wishon published his new book "The Search For The Perfect Golf Club". This book is bound to bring the ball with no small impact, are selling very well both in large bookstores or online.
However, there are a lot of people do not agree with the views of Wishon, Barney Adams is one of them. Barney Adams has his own golf equipment store, has been selling 46-inch-long driver for a unconsiderable time. Adams said: "I believe that the players would not buy driver if they thik the driver can't hit the ball. Consumers are not fools, they will not waste money to buy the useless products. We have a strong ability to adapt ourselves, the driver becomes longer, because the players have been able to master them. "
Of course, the shaft material is also critical. One light and durable material made of wood, while in the longer but not heavier. One is now available in the market in the length of wood 2 inches longer than before, but light weight 2-3 ounces, to say that the One steel body wood has entered a new era.
Wishon's new breakthrough may not call back all golfers turn to 43 inches drivers immediately. But we can change it slowly and try it. Then the facts speak louder.
