RE: ShopTalk: How to pick torque?

Charlie:             Granted I’m no tour player 18hcp 82-85 mph but had an interesting thing happen at the PGA show Harrison Booth. For the most part I have a base ball swing and according to Lloyd’s fitting I should have a 280+cpm shaft. I have made such and amazing hit them straight and consistent but felt like a steel rod and lost some distance. The normal driver I make the most is 225 to 235 cpm which feels well but is not that consistent. However Mike gave me a Harrison shafted driver to hit that was a senior flex with a low torque. Hit it very consistent and felt great. This is not a normal combination for a shaft.   Don Johnson     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 4:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ShopTalk: How to pick torque?   Pat   What I am basically trying to accomplish is getting an X flex tip response with a S flex feeling shaft. I am going to be playing around with the torque as a feel and dispersion parameter. I want him to be able to able to stand at address and be able to put a swing that he wants to make without having to worry about working to hard to square everything up at impact. I have the Callaway launch monitor coming in so I will be working that and my Distance Caddy to optimize launch conditions.   Charlie
