Shaft Geometry through EI (Elasticity Index)
Most shaft designers use EI to describe the bend profile of a shaft. Below you can see the shaft geometry of 4 different shaft models.
The golf shaft is the transmission of your golf swing. Your style develops energy in a way unique to you. The shaft delivers that energy to the head. Much like an automobile, the transmission must be matched to the engine.
How a shaft performs in your hands is a complex matrix of factors. Assuming that a shaft that works for your friend or golf professional will work for you is a longshot. It's like assuming the clothes they are wearing will fit you.
Informed performance testing will find your best fit. A properly fit golf club will stabilize your swing into repeatable patterns. It will reduce dispersion and maximize distance. This leads to accuracy and lower scores.
Below are 4 different models of shafts, all R Flexes, and all from the same company. Think all shafts perform alike?
