It is the most important element of the golf club - the only means of imparting energy to the golf ball. The shaft is responsible for the accuracy, distance and trajectory of every golf shot. It is not for nothing that the shaft is called the "engine of the golf club." Like a stock car, you can make all the modifications you want but the best engine is still the favorite to win the race.

And yet for most golfers the shaft is the least understood element in golf...
