FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions? We got you covered.
What’s wrong with the “stock” shaft that came with my expensive driver?
Chances are, it’s not maximizing your distance, accuracy and consistency. It’s like buying a car with the “basic” engine and trim level vs. the getting the “performance” package with more horsepower and better handling.
OK, so what’s wrong with buying an aftermarket “performance” shaft?
Nothing…if you want to spend $300, $400 or $500 for questionable performance and quality. We tested “identical” aftermarket shafts from the major manufacturers and found they can vary 15% in flex and 8 grams in weight. They also have “spines” (where the sheets of material meet) that throw off the desired flex/kick point when you adjust your driver.
What makes Steadfast Shafts perform so well? What’s the technology?
We start with premium carbon fiber that costs 10 times more than what our competitors use. This premium material (and some proprietary manufacturing processes we can’t share) allow us to create finely tuned, superlight, and effectively “spineless” shafts with less than 1 degree of torque (twisting) that deliver the most distance and accuracy for YOUR swing (fast, medium or slow)…and you get these performance gains regardless of how you adjust your driver.
Aren’t all shafts made this way?
Nope. Unlike others who simply slap on or take off material to create different shaft flexes, we develop each flex from the ground up as an individual shaft. Each flex has taken months and sometimes years to achieve the performance goals and strict tolerances we set for it…and for ourselves.
What kind of performance gains can I expect?
Our testing shows you can gain 10-15 more yards of carry and total distance because Steadfast Shafts produce more ball speed and less backspin. You’ll also enjoy more accuracy – up to 25% fewer mis-hits and dispersion because our extremely low-torque shafts reduce twisting and sidespin. As for consistency, our shafts are precisely weighted and effectively “spineless,” so the flex/kick points remain consistent even when you adjust your driver head.
If Steadfast shafts are so good, why are they so inexpensive?
Our shafts are so affordable because we make them here in America and sell them directly to you. We don’t pay for factory middlemen, overseas shipping, high-rent retail stores, TV advertising or PGA Tour player endorsements, so we can keep our prices low.
Do you stand behind your claims with a “satisfaction guarantee"?
We offer a 60-DAY FLEX SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: If you don’t like the shaft flex you purchased, send it back and we will replace it.
What is the difference between shaft length and play length?
Shaft length is the raw length of the shaft itself, while play (playing) length is the finished length of the built club measured with the head and grip installed. When you select the adapter and grip we build to play length, but we do offer an option to order the shaft “raw” which means no adapter and no grip and will be shipped at shaft length.
What flex should I choose based on my swing speed?
Swing speed of 70 - 89 mph- SENIOR
Swing Speed 90 - 99 mph -REGULAR
Swing Speed 100 - 109 mph -STIFF
Swing Speed 110 - 129 mph X – STIFF
What if you are in between swing speeds and don’t know which Flex to choose?
If you are in between shaft flexes, we always recommend you go up to the stronger flex as our shafts play a little on the softer side. If unsure we also offer a flex exchange if you need to swap out your flex.
Do you make shafts for hybrids and irons?
At this time we do not but we are testing and building prototypes for both hybrid and iron shafts.
What are the weights of your shafts?
We offer a Jupiter ONE (driver shaft at 58 grams) and a Jupiter LITE (driver shaft at 45 grams)
Do you have a mini driver shaft option?
We have a lot of customers who order the 3 WOOD for their mini driver, and some who prefer slightly shorter or longer we also offer a custom length option where we build to your specifications you prefer.
The difference and advantage of the Jupiter One vs the Jupiter Lite?
Ultimately the weight and preference of the golfer. Some golfers prefer a heavier shaft, where some who are seeking something lighter we offer the Jupiter Lite which is 13 grams lighter.
