Could anyone tell me what torque is on a golf club? I heard it mentioned in the clubhouse the other day and had no clue as to what the guys were talking about.
Many Thanks

Re: What is Torque?
Torque is term to define the amount a shaft will twist (not bend - that's flex) during a swing.
The amount of torque is directly proportionate to the amount of twist.
Nearly all shafts are 'low torque' when compared to shafts of old. A high torque shaft will allow the clubhead to twist more than a low torque shaft.
The low torque shaft will help keep the clubhead square longer. -
Re: What is Torque?
Straight from a glossary this one......
Torque - expressed in degrees, this measurement explains the shafts resistance to twisting when a force is applied. The lower the torque rating, the more resistant the shaft is to twisting. Steel golf shafts have very low torque values however, all graphite / composite shafts will have established torque values.
As far as I know most graphite shafts these days are low torque. Although I think that UST in particular state which of their shafts are particularly low torque so you can choose the most accurate for you.
