shaft optimiser

[jdfb]

I am having a hard time understanding how the shaft optimiser works.

It is my understanding that depending on the speed of transition. Varying degrees of inertial forces acting on the head of the club cause the shaft to bend to varying degrees.

For a golfer who accelerates at a constant speed the shaft will load during transition and then unload once the club head passes the 9'oclock position (and is subject to gravity).

For a golfer with a 'slower tempo' but identical final swing speed there would be less loading of the golf shaft early in the swing and then heavy loading of the closer to impact. With this in mind, there is less time for gravity to have an effect on the unloading of the golf shaft. Taking this into account is it possible that a golfer with a slower tempo may need as stiff shafts as a golfer with a faster temp.

Please explain.

Sincerely
James

Two golfers can have the same clubhead speed at impact however; one may have a slower tempo. As you say, if the tempo is slower they will have less load on the shaft and therefore be more suited to a softer shaft. One should always use as soft a shaft as possible to maximise cluhead speed and energy transfer whilst maintaining as low a shot dispersion as possible. It’s a balancing act.

The shaft optimiser is state of the art fitting technology which is used on the PGA Tours. This technology has now been introduced into the Amatuer game through our network of Mizuno Stockists and National Fitting Centres. To take up the opportunity to find your swing DNA please call 01189362100 and book yourself into one of our National Fitting Centres or please see the link to the store locator to find your nearest Mizuno Stockist:-
