In this episode of the Golf Science Lab we dive into everything golf shafts, so you can make a better educated decision the next time you're purchasing a new club and it comes time to select a shaft.

The shaft in each golf club has an impact on the ball flight...

> The height of the shot.

> The curvature of the shot.

> The speed of the club head.

>The direction it’s traveling (hitting it in-to-out or out-to-in, positive or negative angle of attack)

> The orientation of that club head with the face. Is the face open to the path, you know, are you going to slice the ball? Is it close to the path?

All of these variables can be influenced by the shaft of a club and was talk through each step on this episode with Dr Sasho MacKenzie and Liam Mucklow.
