What's the difference between .....

[CrapHacker]

The Ping TFC 149D shaft in regular, ( 55g and a torque of 5.8 whatever that means )

and the Ping TFC 700D shaft in regular ( 60g and a torque of 4.6 )

Both are designed for a swing speed of 80 mph + , so why does the K15 have the first, and the I15 the latter?

What is likely to happen if I asked for the K15 with the 700D shaft or the I15 with the 149D shaft ?

Me ?

Confused ?






It's my normal state of mind tbh.

possible different kick points,equaling higher or lower ball flight.

and the latter onehad a 5g heavier shaft

I'd imagine that the head of the drivers are slightly different weights/balance so they are optimised for those shafts. I'd just take the K15 and run, especially if it takes a terrible swing to slice it.

Mostly the torque...

More torque... more draw/ whip thru the ball...




More chance for you to hit a sraight shot.

The torque is basically how much the shaft resists from twisting.
A shaft with a torque of 1 or 2 will not twist as much as 5 and above for example.
The faster you swing, the more the shaft will tend to twist, so with a slower swing, you dont need as much resistence
A 4-5 torque will twist the same at a slower speed as a 1-2 at a fast swing speed.
I would suggest you try a few clubs and see what feels good, gives you a good distance and goes straight.
Then find me one too

One is is soft as overcooked spaghetti, the other as soft as overcooked linguine. Can't remember which way round, but does it really matter?
