Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • Will this fit krank 5 wood

    Yes but please confirm which size you need (.335 or .350).

  • Is this a mid torque low kick shaft?

    It's a high launch, high spin shaft.  That means it's low kick. 

    Torque of 5.0 would be considered mid as well.

  • Do you know what tip (parallel or taperr) I need to replace the shaft on my Callaway epic max Fairway woods with your Grafalloy Prolaunch 45, A flex?

    The Callaway Epic Max fairway takes any 0.335" tip shaft, so this Prolaunch would fit.

  • I have a Callaway Big Bertha Hawk Eye driver that I want to try this shaft on . If it doesn't pan out I was thinking I could get the adaptor to make it fit my Ping G90 5 wood ( of course I would need to adjust length ). Is this possible

    Hi Ralph,

    To switch the shaft for a different club head you would need a club-builder to help. It's possible, but would take extra work. Also, make sure both heads can take .355" tip size shafts.

    -Carol

  • What are the Tip trim measurements for this shaft?

    No tipping, only butt trim to acheive final desired length.

  • What is the weight on shaft?

    The shaft (by itself), has this weight: 

    Stiff flex: 48g
    Reg flex: 44g
    Senior flex: 44g
    Ladies flex: 44g

  • Need a replacement shaft for a taylormade jet speed driver. Will this shaft work?

    Yes, this shaft will fit. If you'd like the adapter/sleeve to be assembled on the shaft (so you can just plug & play), you can find it here: https://www.grips4less.com/products/grafalloy-prolaunch-blue-45-wood-shaft-with-adapter-taylormade-titleist-callaway?variant=32020018102333

  • At what two points do u measure to get the club length?

    This is the USGA measurement method for clubs.

  • Is the A flex considered senior or lite?

    A-flex is the same as Senior flex.

  • Could you please explain what Shaft is used for a Three-wood? Is it a driver shaft cut to a Three-wood specification?

    Yes, if you have a 3-wood, you can use this shaft, and just butt cut it to the desired finished club length. The standard club length for a 3-wood is 43", but you can adjust this according to your height and preferences. 

  • I want to put the same length R Flex shafts on my Titlest 913F 15 degree and 19 degree WOODS and SAME length shafts on 21H degree and 24H degree HYBRIDS. The would all be on the C 1 SUREFIT SETTING. Are their any problems with that?

    We can do that for the fairway woods. Hybrids require a different tip size shaft, and we'd recommend the Fujikura Vista Pro 50/R hybrids, to match transition spec/weight. 

    You can order the Prolaunch Blue 45 shafts for your 913 Fairway woods here.

    Feel free to send us your order# after it's placed, and we will confirm all specs before building. Or let us know if you have any questions, we can help by phone too.

Fantastic Driver Shaft

This shaft provided me with an extra 10 yards on my drives, and helped me
keep it straight.

Prolaunch Blue 45 Stiff won't disappoint

Excellent. well balanced golf shaft. Cut the shaft to 44 3/4" and using it on a PXG 0211 and noticed a nice medium- high launch and long. Would recommend to anybody looking to gain 10-15 yards to their game.

William Mitchell
Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue 45 Wood Shaft

I'm 60 years old, swing speed around 93 mph and this is the best driver shaft I have ever tried. I installed the adapter, cut it to play at 45.75" and put the shaft in my Callaway GBB Epic driver. The ball went so high I had to adjust the head down from 10 degrees to 9 degrees. I've only hit it at the driving range so far, but it hits the ball high, straight and a little farther than my old shaft (it's hard to get exact distance on the range - very few yardage markers). As always, the shipping from Grips 4 Less was extremely fast. Very happy with this purchase.
