  • define "mid tip"

    what is the difference in a "mid tip" or "soft tip" shaft?

    thanks

    Tip firmness.

    soft is softer than mid, mid is softer than firm.

    It has to do with tweaking spin numbers - a shaft that's firmer in the tip than your current shaft will lower spin.

    The issue is the lack of standards - what's FIRM to company A may be no different than the MID in company B, and company C colour codes for firmness.

    Clubfitting and clubmaking have come a long way from just measuring butt CPM for flex and the idea that a shaft plays stiff or soft to flex.

      great, so If I have a mid tip driver vs. a regular, how does that impact me and my shot?

        If you've got a mid tip, it's helping to put "some" spin on the ball.

        The issue becomes "how are you launching it?"

        If you're ballooning the shot (it suddenly shoots up partway through it's flight) or if it's dropping straight out of the sky (looks like it hit a wall) then you're likely over-spinning the ball and could use something with a stiffer tip.

        How you really find out is getting on a launch monitor with your current gamer and getting numbers. Then compare those numbers to other drivers.
