"Graphite shafts are for slower swingers." — one of the most persistent myths in golf, and it's costing players performance.
2nd Swing Master Fitter Tyler Fitzel breaks down why that's outdated thinking:
📉 If your launch is too low, the issue might be shaft weight — not your swing speed.
🛠️ Graphite gives fitters more room to customize bend points across the grip, mid, and tip sections for a more precise feel.
⚡️ Tour pros and major champions play graphite. It's not about age — it's about dialing in ball speed and launch angle for YOUR swing.
Bottom line: the right shaft comes down to fitting, not outdated assumptions.
