Customer Buying Guide to Shaft Pulls

Customer Buying Guide to Shaft Pulls

October 22, 2014

    Spargo Golf wants to provide a Great Customer Experience for all Golfers.   Here are a few suggestions to make your time here at Spargo Golf more enjoyable, easier, and knowledgeable to purchase a shaft.  First determine what shaft you are looking to replace.  Read the graphics on the shaft carefully and most questions will be answered.  Most shafts will tell you the Manufacturer, Gram weight, and Stiffness.  This information will make your search for shafts much easier.  The Spargo Golf Website lists search options (right-side) to narrow down our extensive inventory of shafts. By choosing the pull type (wood, hybrid, iron, etc...), flex (regular, stiff, etc…), tip size (.335”, .350”, etc…), and brand (Aldila, UST, Callaway, etc…), our inventory (in real-time) updates, and will show you what is available in inventory that meets your shaft criteria.  

    LENGTH - It is important to realize that the length (listed on each shaft) is the raw length (shaft butt to shaft tip).  When building and installing the club-head and grip, it will create a longer total club length, or playing length, when all the pieces are together.  Actual playing length of most of these shafts will be approximately 1 ¼” to 1 ½” longer (varying on clubhead) than the raw shaft length.   For example, a 43 1/2" pull-out will build a 45" club (Driver length), and a 41 1/2" pull-out  would build 43" club (3-wood length).  To learn what your club-length should be, look up your clubs specification from the manufacturers website to find your clubs appropriate length.

    TIP SIZE - It is important to note the tip diameter of the shaft you are searching for.  Each shaft in the Spargo Golf Inventory lists shaft tip diameter.  Many of today's Drivers use either .335” or .350” tip diameter shafts.  It is crucial you select the correct tip.  Ideally, you want a .335” tip in a .335” hosel only, and a .350” tip in a .350” hosel only.  A .335” tip can fit in a .350” hosel by using a brass shim, but a .350” will not fit in a .335”.  To learn what your tip-size should be, look up your clubs specification from the manufacturers website to find your clubs appropriate tip-size.

 

EXAMPLE SHAFT PULL:
MAKE:              UST
MODEL:           VTS TourSPX
FLEX:               STIFF
WEIGHT:           60g
TIP SIZE:           .335"
RAW LENGTH:   44"
Using the example information above, I can see the shaft is 44" raw length.  Therefore, adding 1 1/4" to the raw shaft length, will give me an approximate total club length when built.  This shaft will build/create a club that will play approximately 45 1/4", which would be Driver length.
