The Taylormade REAX 55 shaft is a made by Mitsubishi Rayon. The graphite shaft is more brittle and therefore more prone to damage. However, there should be no distinquishable difference in the playing characterics beween the two shafts.
Consult the Taylormade website for full details of the club. But it will most likely be .580. Make sure you get the right grip size.
I graphite shaft compared to a steel shaft on any club will give you more distance. For every club there will be roughly a five yard distance difference. You will hit the graphite further.
They are almost exactly the same, but with one important difference - the shaft. They both use an Aldila RIP shaft, but the one in the standard club is 65g whereas the one in the TP model is 85g, simply to accomodate higher swing speeds used by tour players.
If they're steel shaft Rifle Flighted then .600"
If you are looking to fit a new graphite shaft to your club, I would say it doesn't matter which graphite shaft is the best but it is which one is best for you. Either a Grafalloy or Mitsubishi shaft, but they can be quite expensive.
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.
Yes, graphite shafts are far superior to steel shafts in terms of distance.
Personal preference really. If you are a high or low handicapper say 28- 3 you would hardly be able to tell the difference. Generally, the heavier the shaft, the stiffer it plays. The 60 gram would be whippier, so better suited to a player with a slower swing speed.
There are two types of golf shaft- Steel and Graphite. Generally steel is used on irons, wedges and putters, whereas graphite is mainly used for drivers and fairway woods. A new type of shaft has recently evolved it is the bi-matrix shaft which is steel and graphite.
The best way to cut a graphite shaft is to use a rotary tool with a cutting wheel specifically designed for cutting graphite. Make sure to measure accurately and mark the shaft before cutting to ensure the desired length is achieved. Always wear protective gear and work in a well-ventilated area when cutting graphite.
400 has a longer stroke
