Do to elbow pain ( bone spurs ) I have had to make changes in my swing. Extremely light grip pressure is the only way I can swing with manageable pain. This shaft has helped me to understand the importants of timming and creating clubhead speed through the ball. The Whipping action of this shaft helps with, a controlled backswing, pause at the top, extention at impact and through the ball. As a Long Drive competitor there is a lot to be learned from this shaft. A great training aid.
