The yellow board shaft in my nike sumo driver(not tour version) is impossible to find any specs on. I have the stock 65 gram stiff shaft, but I need to re shaft my driver. It's too whippy for me and I'd like something heavier also. I was complaining about my driver shots being inconsistent and having to "gear it down" to get any type of results at the range today. The local country club pro just happened to be hanging out and asked me to take a couple swings. He said that the torque was too light for my swing right away. I average 275-280 off the tee and hit a few 300+ a round.

Anyways, I've been trying to find out what the specs on this shaft are to find something with a lower torque, but I can't for the life of me find anything on it. Anyone have any idea what the torque and kickpoint are? I suppose I'm happy with the ball flight, but I want something heavier with a lower torque.

I think I'm gonna reshaft my 3 wood while I'm at it. It's twice as flimsy.

There is no such thing as a Diamana Yellow Board shaft.

The sumo comes with a Diamana shaft that has yellow on it.

Sorry. There is no such thing as a Diamana Yellow Board. The only reference you'll find to it is from people who mistakenly call the shafts on certain Nike clubs "Yellow Board".

Diamana do not make a shaft called a "Yellow Board". They make white, blue and red board shafts.

I beg to differ. They made a shaft for nike called "Yellow Board"

This is even what sale people say, who sell these clubs. If this is not correct they would be breaking the law. I know a few guys who work in seperate golf shops and when people enquired about this club that is what they would say. I guess we can agree to disagree :)

Yeah, that's the problem. From what I can tell, it was made specifically for Nike and that's what retailers are calling it. However, there aren't any specs on this shaft anywhere. It would be nice to have a starting point when shopping for new shafts is the main reason I'm searching for specs.

I used to play this driver aswell and I had to change the stock shaft, I mean I still hit it ok but my stiff played like Reg and I use X shafts so was really really soft :P

Sorry I can;t be more help, I am unsure of any specs of this shaft, all I know is that it plays very soft!

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
