Boron Graphite shafts are an Alloy of Carbon Fiber with Boron(Metal Element) Weaved along the side the carbon fiber strands. The best graphite Iron shafts ever made all have this in them, Some examples are the Yonex Tour irons that Phil Mickelson played, they had Yonex LTB-600 shafts(Low-torque-boron) and G.Loomis Tour shafts as well(G.Loomis also makes HIGH END fishing rods. Boron significantly improves the the tip and bend profile of the shaft and also makes it stronger, Boron significantly reduces the torque of a shaft, The Loomis tour's and Yonex ltb-600 shafts have lower torque numbers that TT Dynamic Gold steel shafts.

How is nuclear graphite manufactured?
The graphite used in graphite moderated nuclear reactors is produced in the same type of electrical furnace as is used to produce ordinary graphite, except there must be no boron in any part of the furnace.
Will a stiff graphite shaft be similar to a steel shaft?
The companies that make shafts for golf clubs will have a specification listed on the shaft itself such as "Stiff" of "Juniors". We call it "Flex". The flex standard may be the same on a graphite or steel shaft made by one company and nearly the same as made by another company. It is kind of like sizes for cloths. Both graphite and steel shafts come in "Stiff" flex. Companies may use the word "Mens" in place of "Stiff" or "Juniors" in place of a "not so stiff" shaft. Consult with your local Golf Coach or Golf Professional and they can explain more about the flex in a shaft or other things like "kick points" in a shaft.
Whats the difference between a graphite and a steel shaft for golf clubs?
Graphite shafts are lighter and more flexible, which can help increase swing speed and distance. Steel shafts are heavier and offer more control and accuracy due to their rigidity. The choice between graphite and steel shafts ultimately comes down to personal preference and playing style.
Is boron the same as boron citrate?
No, boron and boron citrate are not the same. Boron is a chemical element, while boron citrate is a compound formed by combining boron with citric acid. Boron citrate is often used as a dietary supplement for its potential health benefits.
Can new graphite driver shafts be replaces with steel shafts?
Yes, they can. However steel shafts that are long enough to be a driver shaft are very uncommon, this is because they are so heavy and not as good as graphite ones. If you find a steel shaft that you would like put into your driver you will need to check the tip diameters are the same and your local pro or clubmaker should be able to do it for you easily.
Why do the freezing points of graphite and carbon are same?
Graphite and carbon are both made up of carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal structure. The freezing point of a substance is determined by the forces between the atoms or molecules. Both graphite and carbon atoms have strong covalent bonds, resulting in similar intermolecular forces, and therefore similar freezing points.
What family is boron from?
Boron is from the 3A family, the same as Aluminium.
Is boron and thallium are in the same period?
No they are in the same group. Boron is in the 2d period, thallium is in the 6th
Are boron and silicon in the same group?
No, boron and silicon are not in the same group on the periodic table. Boron belongs to group 13, while silicon belongs to group 14.
Drive shaft and intermediate shaft the same?
is the drive shaft the same as the intermediate shaft on a vauxhall corsa car does any body no
What are some of uses of graphite?
carbon and graphite are one in the same, graphite is a form of carbon a use for graphite is the lead in your pencil (it's not actually lead, it's graphite) and it is also a good lubricant ;)
Why are diamond and graphite polymorphic?
Diamond and graphite are polymorphic because they are composed of pure carbon atoms arranged in different crystal structures. In diamond, carbon atoms are arranged in a three-dimensional network of tetrahedral shapes, resulting in a hard and transparent structure. In graphite, carbon atoms are arranged in layered sheets that are weakly bonded between layers, giving graphite its lubricating properties and ability to conduct electricity.
