How much does a new golf shaft cost?

Question

hi, i am looking at getting a stiff shaft, but i dont want to pay for a whole new driver. how much would it cost to get a new stiff shaft and then get it installed?

Answer 1

It totally depends on what shaft you want installed.  Shafts range in price from about 25.00 ( on Sale)  To as much a 200.00.  Reshafting fees could be as much as 50.00 depending on where you live and where you have it shafted.  Wish I could be more specific....but its just not possible with what little info there is in your question.

Answer 2

In the belly of U.S Navy aircraft carriers and minesweepers, a coating of nanomaterial protects the giant gears and pipes that drive these colossal ships.  This technology saves the Navy million dollars a year in maintenance.  Now, another type of nanomaterial coating may help you play a better game of golf.



AccuFLEX, a Gastonia-based company, uses a mix of new nanosized materials to make a stronger, lighter, more durable golf shaft called Evolution.   It’s made with the help of nanotechnology – the manipulation of atoms and molecules at the nanoscale level, a billionth of a meter.          



But why use nanotechnology in golf?



“A lot of times when you make a golf shaft, it’s not always perfectly straight.  Often there are gaps in the shaft,” says Todd Cassidy, AccuFLEX vice president.  To solve this problem, the company coats the golf shaft with Nano Composite – a material designedby AccuFLEX.  The nano-sized particles in the Nano Composite fill in any tiny spaces in the golf shaft, giving the shaft a tighter molecular structure.



“When the shaft is in its raw state, the Nano Composite is applied and material becomes more uniform, more consistent, and more dense at the smallest level. Anytime you can make a material more dense, it becomes immediately stronger,” says Cassidy.  



AccuFLEX president, Jody Baucom, picked Gastonia as company headquarters because of his close ties to the area.  Baucom went to high school in the area and his father worked in the local textile mills.  On his own, through self-taught knowledge and research, Baucom learned the golf industry and the engineering behind the sport.



The company began looking at nanotechnology as a possible way to improve its product.  With researchers in Gastonia and parts of Asia, AccuFLEX spent a year developing and testing the Nano Composite formula used in the new golf shaft.  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœWith some hard work, determined research and luck, we got the right combination real quickly,” says Cassidy.  The name for the Evolution golf shaft, Cassidy says, sprang from the idea that nanotechnology is “the evolution to a new era in golf.”        



And now that early investment in nanotechnology is paying off.  Evolution is the company’s best selling product with demand growing rapidly.



With a nanotechnology-enhanced product on the market, AccuFLEX now has an edge on many competitors who are still working to finding the right formula.  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœWe were the first to the consumer in our industry with a nanoproduct.  That’s helped us because customers now think of our company first,” says Cassidy.  



But like most new discoveries, nanotechnology often comes with a hefty price tag.  With higher development costs, the Evolution golf shaft is priced at the higher end of the golf shaft market.  While Cassidy predicts that the cost will eventually come down, he calls the startup costs associated with nanotechnology “a major hurdle” to overcome.  



One way AccuFLEX overcame this hurdle was by balancing the advantages and the likely long-term benefits of nanotechnology with the short-term development costs.  



The Evolution golf shaft mixes nanomaterial with other composites and resins.  The advantage of a golf shaft made of a composite compared to a golf shaft made entirely of nanomaterial is that a composite has more flexibility and give needed for the game.  Luckily, a golf shaft made entirely of nanomaterial would be would be too stiff for the game, says Cassidy.  



While a golf player might need composite materials with these properties, other industries, such as automobile and construction industry could also use the extra-strong properties of some nanomaterials to their advantage.  In North Carolina, some companies already use nanotechnology to make stronger materials, like durable, corrosion-resistant steel.  This gradual wave of enhanced products could bring new industries to North Carolina, as well as new products to the world.

There are more shafts out there than you can imagine!! look at where you're game is at and what you want to achieve,straight, long,accuracy,ball flight high launch, low trajectory etc, get my drift??? for the price you will pay to have a better than average shaft installed it would probaly be in you're interest to purchase a new club,(unless you have some fixation on the head you want reshafted) go to a good golf pro and get some real advice!!!

Answer 4

It depends on what shaft you buy.  You can get a stiff steel shaft for about $15 and they range from there up to about $200 for graphite and really exotic ones for $400.

Answer 5

Like everyone's said there is a huge range. Where I work, we sell shafts that start at $13 and go up to $375, Matrix even makes a $1000+ golf shaft. We charge $25 for installation plus $3-$15 for a grip and an extra $10 if you want the shaft spined.
