Uniflex shaft?

[rmccabe6]

I recently purchased a Powerbilt Air Attack 460cc driver that says it has a uniflex shaft on it. This is the stock shaft but was wondering what uniflex is supposed to mean? I have some woods that have midflex shaft, but Im not familiar with uniflex? Any info would be appreciated.

Im guessing it has the shaft flex made for a man and a woman. It a woman can use it because it has a little whip and could possibly be a shaft for a man with less power?

Just taking a guess on it, not completely sure.

I would have thought it meant the flex was the same throughout the shaft, as opposed to being stiffer at the tip or the butt.

It means it acts as an effective stiff, regular, light and extra stiff shaft all at the same time.

Budget golf equipment companies save money by shipping their clubs with the same shafts in every product sample. It's basically just a generic shaft, probably regular flex. But being clever marketers, there's no way they are going to tell buyers the actual flex, or some people will feel they are buying the wrong club. If they label it "Uniflex" then it sets people's minds at ease to make them feel like the product is suited for them.

If you're a high handicapper I wouldn't worry about it. There's much more important stuff to worry about than the flex of your club shaft. Like your swing mechanics!

Callaway have put uni flex shafts in their clubs...... I don't think they're a budget company.

Nike have Uniflex shafts in some of their models as well, I know that the uniflex steel shaft in the Ignite Irons is somewhere between a regular and a stiff shaft, a little close to stiff if i recall correctly

I don't have Uniflex shafts, but I have seen a few lately. I did a little research a couple of weeks ago. The oversimplified version is they appear to be "firm" - between stiff and regular.

I recall reading that they were attempting to find a flex that covers the vast majority of golfers. These are not cheap shafts, and I have hit them. They do offer a good compromise for individuals that are using stiff, whose swing is on the slow end of stiff.

Hope this helps.

I'd say somewhere in between stiff and regular but a little on the softer side

Probably Callaway's cheapest clubs though.
