The shaft is the most important component of
the golf club. Therefore finding the right shaft is key. Ranger Golf uses ONLY
frequency-matched TrueTemper and Aldila Graphite shafts. These are the market leaders as
golf professionals around the world can attest. The shafts we use are exactly the same as
those used on the PGA Tour. Don’t settle for an off-name brand or someone’s
"own" label just because it’s cheaper.
All our shafts have different properties, which help you achieve
different goals with your shots. To really custom fit your clubs, you should pick out the
qualities of a shaft that you think would best help your shots on the course, whether you
need more distance or more control, or whether you like hitting the ball higher or lower.
These are determined by flexibility and flexpoint.
Flexibility is how much the shaft is able to bend during your swing.
More flexibility can add more distance by allowing the club to have more "whip",
but too much flexibility will cause you to lose control of your shot. When we ask for your
average 5-iron and Driver distance, this will help us to determine the correct shaft
flexibility for you. Be honest! The correct flex makes a big difference to your
performance.
Flexpoint is the point on the shaft where the most bending actually
occurs. The Aldila Lightweight shafts have a lower flexpoint, allowing you to get the ball
in the air quicker. This is better suited to the beginner golfer and the intermediate
golfer who needs more height on his shots.
The Dynamic Gold shafts have a higher flexpoint. This helps maintain
better control. These shafts are ideal for the intermediate and advanced golfer, where
accuracy and control are key.
The TT Lite, Aldila Standard Weight and Aldila Ultra Lightweight
shafts all have mid flexpoints. These are great all-purpose shafts that are great for all
levels of players. The lightweight shafts allow the player to get a bit more swing speed
to increase distance.
If you prefer a softer feeling shot or if you have joint or tendon
problems, you should consider using a graphite shaft or vibration-dampening device like
the Stratus Sensicore. This helps reduce the discomfort produced by impact with the ball.
