There are two main problems when discussing torque as it relates to golf shafts. The first is that, technically speaking, golf shafts do not have any torque. Torque is a force. Rather, when we are discussing torque in relation to golf shafts what we are really talking about is the golf shaft’s resistance to what’s known as ‘torsional twisting’ as a result of applied torque during the golf swing; or the shaft’s tendency to twist along the center axis.

This is probably the single most often asked question by golfers looking for a new shaft. For years, the answer was relatively easy: put the golfer into an ultra-light shaft and they would pick up some of the yards that time had stolen away.
But as head sizes have grown from the 300cc range, to the new 460cc standard, ultra-light golf shafts– by which we mean shafts below 50 grams– have failed to keep pace. In many senses, the available ultra-light golf shafts have meant that the new oversized heads have not lived up to their promise of distance and accuracy for those that need them most.
