RETURN COSTS & RESTOCKING FEE (ASSEMBLED ITEMS)
🚫 No Returns or Refunds on Assembled Shafts
Please note that all assembled shaft orders are final. Due to the custom nature of this process, we do not accept returns or offer refunds on any assembled shafts. Each order is built to your specifications, and once assembly begins, we are unable to restock or resell the components.
We encourage you to double-check all specs (flex, length, grip, adapter, etc.) before placing your order. If you need help confirming details, our team is happy to assist before you check out.
Returns can be made on non-personalized items and non-assembled items within the US, 60 days after you've received the original order. Items are only accepted on unopened and unused products. Items must be returned in the original packaging.
INTERNATIONAL RETURNS
We do not accept any international returns at this time.
At Grips4less, we strive to provide a smooth international shopping experience. To ensure clarity regarding shipping, duties, and returns, please review our policy below:
Duties, Taxes, and Import Fees
- International orders may be subject to duties, taxes, and import fees imposed by your country. These charges are the customer's responsibility and are determined by local customs authorities.
- If duties and taxes are not paid upon delivery, the carrier may be unable to complete the shipment and may return the package to us.
Refused or Unpaid Shipments
- If an international order is refused or the required duties/taxes remain unpaid, the carrier may return the package to us.
- In such cases, customers will be responsible for all shipping costs, including outbound and return shipping fees.
- Refunds for returned shipments will be issued minus all incurred shipping fees.
Lost or Delayed Shipments
- Once an international order has shipped, we are not responsible for delays caused by customs processing or other carrier-related issues.
- If a package is significantly delayed, we encourage customers to contact their local customs office or the carrier for more information.
By placing an international order (any order shipped outside the US), you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
REFUNDS
Refunds are normally processed back to the original account (ie. credit card or PayPal). If you prefer store credit, please include this note of the refund request.
HOW TO CREATE A RETURN (ITEMS RETURNED MUST BE IN NEW & UNUSED CONDITION)

We cannot ship out a replacement order until the original items are received back.

Alpha Platinum Graphite Shaft
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Alpha Platinum is a graphite driver and fairway shaft that Alpha rates mid launch in every weight and flex. Alpha builds it with S-Carbon 500 modulus fiber for consistent launches with minimal dispersion, in a charcoal matte finish. This is the uncut shaft: 46" raw length, 0.335" tip, in 15 builds from Platinum 45 LL (47 g) to Platinum 75 X (78 g), with the 45 LL also in burgundy.
Want it ready to play? Get it assembled
This listing is the uncut shaft only. Order the assembled Alpha Platinum and we build it to your specs, ready to plug into your driver or fairway wood:
- Built for your club: driver, mini driver or fairway wood
- Your adapter tip installed: Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Krank, Mizuno, Ping, PXG, Srixon, TaylorMade, Titleist, Tour Edge or Wilson, with your hosel setting
- Cut to your length: the standard length for your head model, a custom length (42" to 46.5" driver, 38.5" to 43.5" fairway), or left uncut
- Your grip installed: Golf Pride, SuperStroke, Iomic or JumboMax, logo up or down, with up to 5 wraps of tape
- Same shaft, same options: every Platinum weight and flex on this page, including the burgundy 45 LL
Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Want a mid launch: Alpha rates every Platinum build mid launch
- Want to choose your weight: four series from 47 to 78 g
- Play anything from ladies (LL, L) or senior (A) to x-stiff (X)
- Are a club builder or DIY builder who needs an uncut shaft
Not the right fit if you...
- Want very low torque in a 75 g shaft: the Alpha Luxe LX has 2.5 torque in every flex
- Want a lower flight: Alpha gives the Prizma Viper Green a low launch profile
- Want it ready to install in an adjustable driver or fairway: get the assembled Alpha Platinum
How It Plays
S-Carbon 500 fiber. Alpha says the Platinum gives a smooth feel yet is strong enough for fast swings, and that its S-Carbon 500 modulus fiber produces consistent, accurate launches with minimal dispersion. Alpha makes it in 45, 55, 65 and 75 weight series to cover a wide range of players.
Mid launch, pick by weight and frequency. Alpha rates every build mid launch. Torque drops as weight goes up, from 8.7 in the 45 LL to 3.2 to 3.6 in the 65 and 75 series, and frequency runs from 195 cpm in the 45 LL to 280 cpm in the 65 X and 75 X.
