Anyone Tried the Newton Golf Shaft? Looking for Feedback!

Introduction

I’ve recently been hearing a lot about the Newton golf shaft, and I’m curious if anyone here has had personal experience with it. As some of you might know, choosing the right shaft can drastically affect our game, and I’m keen on making an informed decision.

What to Look For

When it comes to golf shafts, especially with something like the Newton brand, there are several factors that one should consider.

  • Flexibility: How does it differ across the range? I’ve read that different flex options can impact swing speed and accuracy.
  • Weight: The overall heft of the shaft can affect control and distance. Any recommendations?
  • Material: Are there any notable differences in performance based on materials used in Newton shafts compared to others?

Performance Feedback

I’m particularly interested in:

  • How does the Newton shaft perform in terms of distance?
  • What about its feel during swings? Is it stiff, flexible, balanced?
  • Any specific models that stand out for certain playing styles?

Comparisons

If you have experience with Newton versus other brands, it’d be great to hear how they stack up! Any comparisons with brands like Fujikura or Mitsubishi Rayon would be awesome.

Tips for Choosing

For anyone who’s made the switch or considered it, I’d love to know your thought process. What should I be wary of? Any tips for someone looking to improve their game through the right equipment?

I’ve tried the Newton Pro and found it launched the ball further. However, it felt less stable than my previous shafts. I think it really depends on your swing style.

Interesting point! I’m a bit of a high-launch player; do you think the Newton Pro would work well for someone like me?

I switched to the Newton Classic and noticed my shots were more controlled and consistent. I’ve switched from other brands like Graphite Design and the difference is noticeable.

That sounds promising! Do you find the Classic provides a good feel for feedback on impact?

Absolutely! The feel is one of its strong points. I also found it improves my confidence during swings as you can feel exactly where the ball makes contact.

Is anyone else worried about the price? They seem on the pricey side compared to other brands. I wonder if that affects performance.

I think the investment can be worth it if you notice your game improving. It’s about finding the right fit for you, which isn’t always easy.

That’s a solid point. Maybe a fitting session could help clarify the best choice?

I’m in! But I also have questions about different flexes. Do the Newton shafts handle various swing speeds well?

They do! I have heard good things about their versatility. I personally use a stiff flex and it works well, even when the swing speed varies depending on my round that day.

The Newton shafts seem to be getting a lot of mixed reviews; what about their durability? Anyone experienced any breakage issues?

I’ve had my Newton shafts for some time now, and no issues with breakage. They hold up well, even with my sometimes aggressive swings!

That’s a relief! Sometimes expensive gear can fail, which is the worst. Let’s hope Newton has a solid reputation moving forward.

I’ve been using the Newton golf shaft for about six months now, and I love the consistency it offers. It really improved my game!

That’s great to hear! I’ve been considering picking one up. How does it compare to other brands you’ve tried?

I switched to a Newton shaft last year and noticed a significant boost in distance. It’s held up nicely, no signs of wear so far!

Exactly! Durability is key. Have you tested it in different weather conditions?
