Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue 45 Driver Shaft

I'm 79 years old and a 13 handicap what's the best senior shaft for my titleist drivet

Our best sellers include the Alpha Platinum and Fujikura (vista pro and ventus models).

Does your adapter for the M4 driver mimic the stock shaft adapter that came with an adjustable loft.

It's a fully compatible adapter for the M4 driver. Let me know if you have any questions!

What is the standard length for a callaway mavrik driver with adapter

Standard final driver playing length for Callaway heads is 45.5". If you are ordering a new shaft though, you'll need to specify the ADAPTER TIP TO GRIP length, which can be measured here: https://www.grips4less.com/pages/how-to-measure-adapter-tip-to-grip-length-for-assembled-fairway-wood-shafts


Let us know if you have any questions.

Can you put a .350 adapter on shaft.

This shaft is a .335" hosel, so a 0.350" adapter would not fit.

Where is the kick point on the 45gram regular 45.75 shaft?

This is a high-launch shaft, so it has a low kickpoint.

Does this shaft have an adapter for Sim max driver?

Yes, we just added this option here. You can choose to assembled for the TaylorMade SIM MAX Driver.

If I order a 42.75 inch driver shaft will the swing weight still be standard d2-d4?

It depends on the weight of the driver head and grip selected..

is this a bimatrix shaft? the tip being steel?

No, this is a graphite shaft (no bimatrix).

Is the adapter removable if I wish to also try this shaft in an old Callaway Big Bertha " Hawkeye" Driver I have ? Or, would I be better off getting the adapter separate and adding it to the shaft later? I am guessing it's applied with a standard epoxy.

The adapter is applied with epoxy and is not easily removeable.

What is the torque of the R shaft?

The torque for all flexes of the Prolaunch Blue 45 shaft is 5.0.

will you cut the shaft to my desired length before placing grip?

Yes, when adding to Cart, you can choose the length with this option: "Select Length - Measured from Driver Heel to Grip Butt End".

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us here: help@grips4less.com

Does this shaft come with a .335 tip attached so it will fit directly onto my M2 driver?

Yes. The adapter tip for the driver model (ie. TaylorMade M2) you choose will come assembled with the shaft (along with a grip installed), so all you need to do is plug and play with the new shaft.

Is the senior flex for women the same as a mans for a M2 Taylor Made?

There is no difference in "women or mens" senior flex. There is a Ladies Flex (L-flex) which is softer than Senior Flex (A-flex) though.

Let us know if you have any questions.

What is the weight of the shaft

The weight of the shaft by itself is 44g (for R, A, L flexes), and 48g for S-flex.

The weight of the shaft with adapter + grip varies, since it depends on which adapter and which grip is chosen, but is usually around ~150g

What is the torque rating of the "A" flex shaft and what is the length of the parallel tip?

For the Proluanch Blue 45 shaft, the torque is 5.0, and the parallel tip is 2".

Let us know if you have any questions!

Will the Grafalloy ProLaunch 45 shaft fit a 2018 Callaway Epic head? Also, is this shaft softer than the Aldila Tour ATX-55. I'm looking at going from the ATX-55 (stiff) shaft to the ProLaunch 45 (regular flex) to help with a higher launch and offset slowing clubhead speed due to age (66). Thanks!

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your question.

Yes, we can assemble the Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue 45 with the correct adapter to fit your 2018 Callaway Epic driver head.

As for the shaft comparison, the ProLaunch Blue 45 Regular Flex is both lighter and softer than your current Aldila Tour ATX-55 Stiff. The ProLaunch Blue was specifically designed to help golfers generate a higher launch and maximize carry distance, especially those with moderate swing speeds.

Based on the information you've provided (age 66 and currently playing a 55g Stiff shaft), moving to a 45g Regular Flex could certainly help increase launch and make it easier to load the shaft. Many golfers find that as swing speed decreases with age, a lighter and more responsive shaft helps them regain some carry distance.

My only caution is that this is a fairly significant change in both weight and flex. If your driver swing speed is still above about 90 mph, you may also want to consider a lightweight shaft in the 50g range with a Regular flex, which would provide a more gradual transition.

If you can tell me:

• Your approximate driver swing speed
• Typical carry distance
• Current ball flight (low, mid, or high)

I'd be happy to provide a more specific recommendation.

Best regards,

Jim

can prolaunch blue 45 be used in hybrid

no 

because hybrid normally need a 0.370 tip shaft but prolaunch blue 45 is a 0.335" tip wood shaft .

When I attempt to swing faster more aggressive, I have a tendency to lose right. I did purchase a lower torque shaft here (Graff blue) . I know some is technical, but should I go lower?

You are correct that low torque shaft means that the shaft actually has a high degree of resistance to twisting. The “low” refers to the number assigned to the torque value. For example, a shaft that has a torque value of 2.5* has a very low degree of torque, which means that is has a high ability to resist twisting.  However, we recommend working with a well rated golf instructor to work on any swing dynamic issues you may be experiencing.
