Shaft Torque
1 articleShaft torque describes resistance to twisting about the shaft's long axis, typically represented by an angular measure under specified testing conditions. It is different from bending flex and shaft weight. Because manufacturers may use different measurement methods, published torque figures should be compared cautiously rather than treated as direct predictions of shot curvature. Claims relating to golf shaft torsional resistance are best evaluated separately from the broader identity of this entry.
UST Mamiya Recoil ZT9 graphite shaft challenges steel in iron sets
UST Mamiya's Recoil ZT9 graphite shaft claims low torque and a softer feel, aiming to give iron players more power and comfort than steel. Independent sources, however, have yet to confirm its specs or widespread use.
