Shaft FAQs
Does rolled or wound carbon change deflection?
No. Both are designed with the same taper, wall thickness, weight, and related specs.
Does natural or dampened sound change deflection?
No. The shafts are built identically aside from sound.
What is natural sound?
A pleasant tone closer to a nice wood shaft, with good feedback and no hollow ting.
What is dampened sound?
The same general tone, muted quite a bit. Quieter, more thud, less feedback.
What taper is offered?
12.5 and 12.8 mm use a 14.5–15 in pro taper. 11.8 mm uses a 10 in pro taper.
What sizes are offered?
11.8, 12.5, and 12.8 mm for Pro. Core also lists 10.5 and 12.2 mm.
Can more deflection be added?
Yes. Deflection can be increased to match the amount requested.
What do you personally use?
Most often: Gen 5 Pro, 29 in, rolled, natural sound, 12.8 mm.
Do you have anything in stock?
Typically no. Shafts are built to order and there is usually a wait list.
How much is due up front?
A $50 non-refundable deposit starts the build and is applied to the final total.
Can I make payments?
Yes, but the product cannot ship until fully paid.
What is the warranty?
Limited lifetime warranty, assessed case by case. Modifications void the warranty.
