ORLANDO, Fla. -- If you ever wanted to know exactly how your driver shaft behaves, a step to uncover that mystery was made today at the Orlando PGA Show.
Fujikura Composites, in cooperation with Vicon Motion Systems and Bentley 3, have designed a high-speed camera and software system that can identify oodles of precise information about how the shaft droops and bends. They don't know what the ideal numbers are yet, only that they can measure them. Once they put several tour players on the system they'll have a better
idea.
But one secret they've found is that the slower the butt end moves during impact, likely the farther you'll hit the ball, as it indicates a better wrist release. That's right: slower equals faster.
