Tom I have been experimenting with a swing impact trainer basically a weighted system employing magnets to help the golfer with excelling through the hitting zone. Also very good for timing and the dreaded coming over the top. Now having said all that club head speed near 90 mph up from 85 mph and ball speed approaching 140 . You said in one of your comments that you have went to jumbo grips and swing weight to C-4.. What have you noticed in ball speed and ball flight? Also did you do the swing weight of C-4 for the driver… Read more »
ROGER It must be made clear that a swingweight of C4 is NOT head light in feel when the clubs have grips that weigh nearly 80 grams. If I were to change to normal weight grips of 50g, the swingweight would automatically increase to D1-D2. So it is not like I have gone to using a very head light feel, not at all. I do this mainly because I have come to like the much larger diameter of the grips. The head weight is still enough for me to feel during the swing so my timing and rhythm is still… Read more »
I am losing clubhead speed as I age (75 now!). I’m leaning towards the Blue shafts to go with a light weight shaft. My tempo and transition are definitely in the 1-2 range as is my strength. My release is more middle. So I think the Blue shaft would be a good fit. My clubhead speeds tend to be in the lower range of the “R” flex but are just a tad faster than the “A” flex ratings. For example, my iron speed is around 67 putting me in the low end of the R flex rating (65 to 75)… Read more »
ED I hate to be a little bit of a Johnny RainCloud on this, but the amount of clubhead speed increase from a drop in shaft weight is minimal. It can happen but typically you won’t see more than a couple mph of clubhead speed when dropping the shaft weight, even if it is decreased by 10-20 grams. Much of whether a shaft weight drop can increase clubhead speed is determined by how well the new lighter shafted club’s swingweight/head FEEL fits/matches your swing tempo and rhythm. It is completely possible to drop shaft weight a lot and have the… Read more »
I am always amazed at how much time and attention you give to questions! It is truly appreciated. You’re the best!
ED I have always felt that it is critical to answer questions or explain things as clearly and as in depth as possible to ensure the best chance of people obtaining truthful information. It comes from WAY BACK when I was starting out and had tons of questions. I would try to contact any golf companies I could to ask questions to increase my knowledge and I never got the time of day from all these places. So I got mad and made a pledge to not only do the research to learn things on my own, but I would… Read more »
Tom, I have a 775HS Hybrid with the S2S White Hybrid shaft in A flex and woud like to get more height on my shots. Your S2S Blue is has the same frequency as the white shaft at 16″ and 11″ but 20 cpm and 15 cpm higher at 26″ and 21″ respectively. I am not sure if this profie being stiffer than your White hybrid woulld be of benefit unless the lighter weight is a more significant factor resulting in higher trajectory. Also is there a future shaft expected to be added to your shaft offerings that may better… Read more »

Keep in mind that the shaft can only help increase shot height for players who have a relatively late to very late unhinging of the wrist cock release on the downswing. Players with a midway to early release tend not to see much of a height increase when moving into a softer tip or softer overall shaft. If you do have a late-ish release, then the shaft that could help push the ball higher would really be the S2S Green.
TOM
Tom, thanks. My release is close to if not a little later than the release range for the white and blue hybrid shafts so I didn’t see how there would be a tradjectory increase with the blue hybrid over the white as confirmed by your response. Thanks for your response.

Hi Tom,
I have a spare blue wood shaft in A-flex and was wondering if I could tip trim it to an R-flex?
Best
Daniel
Daniel
It won’t be precisely the same as buying an A flex separately, but if you cut 1.5″ from the tip end of the raw uncut A flex shaft, it will be as close to the R as you can get.
TOM
Thanks, Tom, I will try this.

639/5000 Hello Tom, I’am a french golfer, I have since a few months a Set Sterling (Iron 5 -> GW with 8iron length, Regular S2S Superlite Steel shaft) I am very happy 🙂 (I have an average 85Mph swing speed with iron 5) I wanted to complete my series and gain a little distance I bought 2 clubs : 1) the hybrid 5 sterling (loft 21.5 °) 7 iron length with shaft Regular S2S Superlite Steel and 2) iron 4 sterling (8 iron length) with White S2S graphite iron shaft I have trouble hitting them every 2 🙁 you advise… Read more »
Pierre Thank you for taking your time to stop by and ask for a little help. Your English is superb and believe us, you would not want us to try to respond to you in French! WE’re pleased to hear that you like the Sterling Irons. For the 5 hybrid, the first thing to try to do before changing the shaft and length would be to be sure you are using the same ball position and feel like you are using the same swing motion that you use with the other Sterling irons. Ideally the 5 hybrid in the Sterling… Read more »
Tom,
Does the balance point listed for all of the shafts have any correlation to a shaft’s kick point? Thanks.
Bill
BILL Let me first clarify kick point before going to the balance point. Kick point is a dead term and has been for the better part of the last 10+ years. It was a term conceived way back in the 1950s when shaft makers really did not know nearly as much as they do today about a shaft’s bend profile. bend profile is the distribution of stiffness over the length of a shaft. What the old term kick point was trying to convey was the stiffness of the tip section with regard to the stiffness of the rest of the… Read more »
Tom,
Your response, as always, was very helpful. Much thanks.
I’ve taken notes on all of the graphite iron shafts and have come up with a list of stiffest tips to most flexible tips. In order of the shafts that I noted, the Red R is the stiffest followed by the Black R, Blue R, Blue A, Ruby A, White R, Green R, White A, and Green A. Assuming that I did the work correctly, can I further assume that the order of lowest ball flight to highest ball flight would be the same (i.e Red R is the lowest ball flight and Green A is the highest ball flight?)… Read more »
BILL The rule of thumb is the stiffer the tip section, the lower the ball flight . . . . BUT . . . . shafts tend to only demonstrate shot height differences for golfers who have a later to late to very late release of the wrist hinge angle on the downswing. If the player releases the wrist hinge angle early to midway, the differences in tip stiffness may be able to be felt by the golfer but seeing much of a shot height difference just won’t happen. But yes for players with a late-ish to late release, your… Read more »
just had the s25blue 45 fitted to my callaway big bertha alpha driver
by wayne at fairway custom tamworth u/k seems to be working just fine not up with the big boys but straight and going further than i was hitting it so well pleased that i chose a custom club fitter
