The butt ends were so thin in order to reduce weight they broke under the grip when hard swingers drop their hands and club on the shoulders after their swing.

Both shafts broke under the grip. One broke during the back swing and the other after contacting the ball. I have pulled all GS75 shafts. Do not have a clue as to why they broke.

Does that mean the S-flex plays the same as an A-flex (or L-flex) shaft since it has a similar frequency? Realize that this shaft is made with a different alloy of steel so we are not comparing apples-to-apples. Plus also note the larger outside diameter along the length of the shaft. The frequency analyzer is only one measurement of the shaft's stiffness and there may be several other parameters that factor into the dynamic stiffness of the shaft. Rancho:

I bought 5 of them to see how they worked and have a "spare" 5 iron head that I was going to install onto one of them. Before I planned to, I put the shafts and head onto my ClubScout to measure the frequency of the shaft & head. By strict number, the shaft marked stiff flex was much closer to senior or ladies flex by sheer numbers. Why would the weight of the shaft be relevant to the frequency? If a GS75 measures out at senior or ladies flex, why isn't that the flex? Where does weight enter the equation? Thanks! Rancho I’m really confused by the GS75.

The ball flight was a little higher which made for a softer landing on the green. Jeff – - I played the GS75 in a S flex this past season and was very pleased with the shaft.
