WHUP-n-SHAFT

50” LONG DRIVE SHAFTS
MSRP PRICING = $199.99

… Our 50” Long Drive shafts dominated the recent 2007 RE/MAX World LONG DRIVE CHAMPIONSHIPS, taking 1st, 3rd, and 9th Places in the Open Division. 

The following shafts are available (PRE-ORDER ONLY at this time):

Low Trajectory – This shaft is available in flexes ranging from 240-cpm to 260-cpm (which build-out about 10-cpm higher in a standard weight top-load driver head).  These shafts have 4.0 inches of parallel tip.  The shafts weigh 78.5 grams with 3.3 true torque rating. The 2.09/Mid-High Kick-point produces a 3* lower launch angle than our standard launch shafts.

Standard Trajectory – This shaft also runs in flexes ranging from 240-cpm to 260-cpm, and they similarly have 3.3 torque and 4.0 inches of parallel tip.  These shafts are a hair lighter at 76.5 grams, and the kick-point at 2.16 is mid (lower) to produce a 3* higher launch than the Low Trajectory shafts.

Unlike other name-brand shafts, which are made in Mexico, China, Korea, Bangladesh, Taiwan, and China, all of our shafts are MADE IN THE USA, and we are very proud to list this on each shaft label.  These shafts are made by highly-trained professionals, who have an average of more than ten years experience in this field.

Our long drive shafts are made from 27 unique and different layers of graphite prepreg, which are purchased from the world’s top supplier of high-end prepreg.  Each of these 27 layers are electronically-machine rolled (one-at-a-time) in order to insure the highest level of accuracy.  Unlike other shafts (which are measured for torque only at the tip-end), all of our shafts  are measured for torque ratings in three places (at the tip-end, at the butt-end, and at the mid-section).  Any shafts that are found to be more than 3-cpms out-of-round (following a 360* rotation) are considered to be defects and they are discarded.  Each shaft also passes additional quality-control inspections for roundness and for tip-to-butt stiffness.  Our competitors do not perform all of these quality-control testing.

Quite simply, if you achieve the proper launch-angle, and if you transfer more energy to the ball through a stronger and more efficient shaft, and if you combine this with a lower ball-spin rate, the ball has no choice but to go farther and straighter.  As demonstrated at the recent World Long Drive Championships, our efforts have achieved the desired results.

Arguing that these results only apply to long drive competitors would be similar to arguing that the equipment used by Nascar or Formula One vehicles wouldn’t have application in commercial automobile sales.
