Find the perfectly matched shaft in 3 swings

"A player can go to any of Mizuno's Fitting centres around the country and be fit to the perfect shaft within 15 minutes. The fitter can apply their skills to the more constant components - length, lie angle, grip size, knowing that our Fitting System will look after the engine of the club - the shaft."

Shaft Optimisation

On traditional custom built sets shaft recommendations were based on the theory that fast swingers required stiff s, while everybody else was a regular. Twenty years on, the Mizuno range of custom iron shafts has evolved to more than 50 options, with only a few State of the Art Facilities able to take advantage.

Mizuno's new Shaft Optimiser changes everything. A real golf club with specially developed strain gauges and microprocessor, the Shaft Optimiser records an individuals Swing DNA from just 3 real shots. Combined with an exclusive Mizuno software the unique DNA is used to narrow down a baffling prospect of more than 50 shafts to the very best match - with 2 back up suggestions to test against.

The Shaft Optimiser is unique in the amount of information it records. Clubhead speed and tempo might typically determine the ideal flex and weight of the shaft, but with so many variables to consider - weight, flex, kick point, tip softness - much more hard data is required to accurately determine a player's optimimum shaft. The Shaft Optimiser also measures shaft toe down, shaft kick angle and release factor readings in order to build up the players unique blueprint.
