What torque should my driver be?
What torque should my driver be?
So for most golfers, as long the torque of a graphite shaft is between 3.5 and 5.5 degrees – which is the case for the vast majority of graphite shafts today – the golfer will be OK and torque will never be a factor to worry about in the shaft fitting.
Should I use a lighter driver shaft?
Having clubs that are too heavy will result in lost distance and a lack of control and having clubs that are too light will result in erratic and uncontrollable strokes. What is this? Fast swing speeds will usually need a heavier shaft and slower swing speeds need lighter shafts.
Is Taylormade R1 still a good driver?
There is more to the Taylormade R1 driver than just the paint, it is the most adjustable driver TM has ever made. If you have the time to tinker and dial it in, you will find excellent results and might even be able to pick up some benefits over previous drivers.
Do I need a low torque shaft?
1) Players who tend to hook the ball will benefit from a lower torque shaft. Players who tend to slice the ball will benefit from a higher torque shaft. 2) Players who swing faster need lower torque.
How do you measure a drive shaft torque?
For motors, find torque (in ft-lb) using this equation: T = (HP*5252)/rpm.
Is 70g driver shaft too heavy?
A 70-gram driver shaft is considered to be pretty heavy but not the heaviest. It falls into the middle but is still on the heavier side when you consider you could go with 50 or 60 grams instead.
What happens if driver shaft is too heavy?
The heavier a shaft is, the more likely it is that your golf ball will fly low and with less spin. If it’s lighter, the ball will tend to fly higher and spin more. As Briand explains, the weight of a shaft has less impact on swing speed than golfers think, but that lighter shafts could increase the rate of closure.

What is the allowable torque in the shaft?
Torsion Resisting Moments from Shafts of Various Cross Sections
| Shaft Cross Section Area | Maximum Torsional Resisting Moment – Tmax – (Nm, lbf ft) |
|---|---|
| Solid Cylinder Shaft | (π / 16) τmax (2 r)3 = (π / 16) τmax D3 |
| Hollow Cylinder Shaft | (π / 16) τmax ((2 R)4 – (2 r)4) / (2 R) = (π / 16) τmax (D4 – d4) / D |
What is a good torque for a driver shaft?
From my experience a golfer that will average 90 mph (driver) clubhead speed should look for a shaft of 3.5* to 4.2* of torque. To hit the golf ball straighter it helps to have each and every one of the shafts in the bag with the spine aimed down the target line (9 o’clock position).
What is the face angle of a TaylorMade R1 driver?
The TaylorMade R1 driver offers many combinations to experiment with face angles. When you increase the loft by 1°, the face angle closes by 2°. Every golf player must understand this setting to get it right.
Are You hitting the ball too high with the new R1 driver?
During testing of the new R1 driver from Taylor Made, we found that the standard shaft and the new hosel were hitting the ball very high. If the shot is too high, the distance can be very short and then if the wind blows … So if you do hit the ball high, we found the way to get it to go low.
What are the different adjustable R1 adjustments on a golf club?
Adjustable Face Angle You can also adjust the R1 to one of 7 face angle positions: Neutral Open, Medium-Open, Maximum-Open, Closed, Medium-Closed, or Maximum-Closed. Movable Weight Technology Adjust the sole weighting to promote either a straight or draw ball flight.
