(Assembled) Alpha Platinum Long Drive Driver Shaft with Adapter Tip...
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Alpha Platinum Long Drive is a 50" graphite shaft made for long drive swings and larger club heads, using the same high-strength S-carbon fiber as the Alpha Platinum wood shaft. It plays mid launch, mid spin, with a mid-stiff tip. We sell it in Regular through 4X-Stiff, 70 to 78 g. It arrives assembled with your choice of adapter and grip, ready to attach to your driver head.

Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Swing very fast and want a shaft built for long drive forces
- Want stiffer flexes than most driver shafts offer: 2X, 3X or 4X-Stiff
- Want a mid flight with mid spin
- Play a large driver head
Not the right fit if you...
- Want a lighter shaft for a moderate swing: see the Alpha Platinum (45 to 75 series)
- Need a ladies or senior flex
How It Plays
Alpha designed the Platinum Long Drive for the forces modern long drive hitters put on a shaft. It uses the same high-strength S-carbon fiber as the Alpha Platinum wood shaft, with a mid-stiff tip for stability and minimal distortion.
Every flex plays mid launch with mid spin. Weight runs from 70 g in Regular to 78 g in 4X-Stiff, and the raw shaft is 50" long.
