I was so excited to announce the new shaft from Carter that I forgot
a word or two in the first paragraph, sorry...
I am excited to finally have the specs, pricing, and information on
the new shaft from Carter Penley. It's called the ET2. It's metallic
silver with a blue logo (I've got some pictures but will be getting
better pics soon).
It comes in 4 flexes, R, S, X, and a new flex designation from
Carter called Z. The Z flex is a specific flex for the pro level
player (PGA, LPGA, Long Drive, and aspiring amateur)
Specs:
Flex/Wt/Length/Tip dia/Butt dia/Torque/TBar Matched
R/70/46/.335/.600/4/yes
S/70/46/.335/.600/3.8/yes
X/75/46/.335/.605/3.6/yes
Z/75/46/.335/.610/3.5/yes
Price is $145 for the R, $150 for the S, $155 for the X, and $165 for the Z.
I'm setting up the web pages this weekend at my web site with
further information on the new shaft design.
I also will be adding articles from Carter on shaft design, spine
location and others, including an article on his Energy Transfer
Accelerance program which addreses the question: "how much energy
can or does a player transfer to the ball?"
Also an article from Carter explaining T-Bar matching (tip to butt
aspect ratio).
Here's a short note from Carter on the new shaft:
The ET 2 has been designed to increase the stability and control of
a player's golf club through newly developed designs, materials,
manufacturing processes and the tightest controlled tolerances in
the golf shaft industry today. This creates a golf shaft that is
dramatically more resistant to the player's inconsistencies in their
swing. The shaft actually makes corrections during the down swing to
counteract player input yielding a longer and straighter hit.
I will publish an article on the ET2 in the near future. We started
developing this shaft over a year ago and have had great player feed
back and I truly feel for the better player this shaft is the best
design to date, bar none.
The ET2 requires the most exotic material in its manufacture to
achieve the mechanical properties needed to effect the result I was
striving for. This golf shaft has more touch time than any golf
shaft manufactured in the world today; there are four machining
processes alone that must be completed in series with measurements
taken after each machining operation is completed before the next
machining operation can be started (this is the backbone of TBAR
[Tip to Butt Aspect Ratio] perfectly matching the flexural load
bearing path along the longitudinal axis (tip to butt) of the ET2
shaft and I personally supervise this machining process from
beginning to end.
No other designer, engineer, CEO/Founder of any other golf shaft
company to my knowledge puts in this amount of effort and I am proud
to do it because I feel personally responsible for each and every
golf shaft that my company produces and I owe nothing less to my
loyal customers.
The 'Z' flexes are more of a custom tour level product and require
tighter tolerances. When ordering, the player should relate some
information to you such as his preference to butt flex such as mid
range (which is what we inventory) butt flex or stiff side or soft
side with his/her corresponding tip flex such as mid (again this is
what we stock) stiff side or soft side.

Send me a note for order information while I set up the shopping
cart at clubmaker-online.com. There is about 100 of each flex in
stock building up to 500 of each flex.
I'll offer free shipping to lower 48 through the end of March.
Thanks,

By the way, I send out monthly information on new golf equipment
called The Clubmaker Report, would you like me to add your email
address to it? Send me a quick note if yes.
Thanks!
