In taper tip construction, the shaft tip will be 0.355” at the very tip and approximately 2” up the shaft tip will become 0.370”.
What is tip flex of a golf shaft?
Tip Flex: Tip Flex, or Retro Flex, represents the average stiffness toward the head side of the shaft. Sometimes this is measured in a very similar fashion as the static-flex measurement. The difference being that the tip end is clamped and the load is applied to the butt end of the shaft.
What is the shaft diameter?
The shaft diameter is defined as the diameter of the hole in the iron laminations that contains the shaft, as indicated with the red arrow in Fig. 1 (and not as the actual diameter of the mechanical shaft, which can be much smaller).

This can also be done in reverse – clamp the tip and weight and displace the butt.
What does a stiff tip shaft do?
Too stiff of tip section can actually rob you of distance especially on your driver. The prevailing theory among most golfers is that a stiff shaft tip section lowers ball flight and reduces spin.
How do you determine the shaft diameter?
P = 2πNT /60 . You can find out the Torque (T). t ( shear stress) . by this equation you can find out the Diameter of the shaft (D).
How long should your golf clubs be if you are 5 7?
It says people between 5 feet 7 inches and 6 feet 1 inch should use standard length clubs. As you get taller or shorter, you should increase or decrease the length by up to 2 inches. Most people fall into “standard” territory, but if people would benefit from shorter clubs, these golfers should cut their clubs down.
