What torque do I need in my driver shaft?
So for most golfers, as long the torque of a graphite shaft is between 3.5 and 5.5 degrees – which is the case for the vast majority of graphite shafts today – the golfer will be OK and torque will never be a factor to worry about in the shaft fitting.
How important is torque in golf shaft?
In simple terms, torque does two things, it helps control the club face through impact and it provides the feel of the shaft. If you are using a torque that is too high, say someone with a fast swing using a shaft with a torque of 6, you will hit low hooks. The club will feel like a whip, not in a good way.
What does torque mean on a driver shaft?
twisting force
Torque is defined as “a twisting force that tends to cause rotation.” In the case of a golf shaft, it’s the amount of twisting (or lack thereof) that occurs during the swing. The lower the torque number — it’s measured in degrees — the more resistant the shaft is to unwanted twisting.
Does shaft length affect torque?
Why does it seems like you can develop more torque with a screwdriver with a longer shaft than with a shorter one (with the same diameter tip and same diameter handle)? This may seam odd, but the different length of screwdriver really doesn’t affect the torque directly.
Does tipping a shaft affect torque?
In most cases, tip trimming a shaft makes it meaningfully stiffer. It also increases torsional stiffness, known as “torque,” which is a shaft’s resistance to twisting. Handle trimming doesn’t affect shaft flex as much as tip trimming because most shafts become gradually stiffer as they move from tip to handle.
What happens if golf shaft is too stiff?
Two Main Effects of a Too-Stiff Golf Shaft Stiff shafts tend to impact distance, resulting in shorter distance. A shaft that is too stiff will absorb the force of the swing, which affects the timing of the transference of energy from the club to the ball at impact. The ball tends to fly lower, which impacts distance.
What does a low torque shaft mean?
A low torque shaft means that the shaft actually has a high degree of resistance to twisting. The “low” refers to the number assigned to the torque value. For example, a shaft that has a torque value of 2.5* has a very low degree of torque, which means that is has a high ability to resist twisting.
Why do long screwdrivers have more torque?
Torque is the force applied times the distance from the axis you are rotating about. So the torque of the screwdriver only really depends on the thinkness of the handle. The long handle will move your hand further from the rotation and give you more torque.
What happens if a shaft is too stiff?
What happens if you shorten your driver shaft?
Shortening the shaft will make the club shorter but it will also make the shaft stiffer and adjust the swing weight as well. Plus, the more length you remove, the less flex your club will have. Depending on how much you cut it down, it could move a regular flex to a stiff or a stiff to an extra stiff.
What’s the torquing torque for a 12 Point Drive?
After much trawling of the net I found this Golf workshop manual which confirms the Torquing procedure. The torque value and angle are the same for the new 12 point bolts (part no. WHT005437) as for the old 6 sided bolts: 200Nm then 180 degrees.
What’s the torque of a hex hub bolt?
On that basis, my original factory fitted bolts would have been tightened to 200Nm then 180 degrees, and the new replacements to only 70Nm then 90 degrees. This has left me slightly confused and concerned, as I clearly want to get this critical component torqued correctly.
Is the Haynes drivehaft the wrong way round?
The haynes is the wrong way round (surprise surprise!) it’s the 12 sided thats 200nm and 180degrees. The others are 27mm not 26 as well.
