I've heard that a new accuracy boosting golf club shaft insert can significantly improve accuracy. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Never heard of it.

Here is a link to their web site if anyone is interested: http://harrison.com/product/sh..
Golf Spy says it was the hit of the PGA Golf Show. |

The engineer in me is skeptical. Even if you buy into the basic premise, the idea that you can put ONE insert design into the hundreds of different shafts and tens of thousands of different shaft/club head combinations and get the kind of consistent improvement they are claiming just doesn't make sense to me.
I've worked with club designers enough to have some appreciation for the many ways the individual parts and individual swing characteristics interact. |

Why not just put a stiffer tipped shaft in or something with less torque. It would serve the same purpose.

For example, since the inserts aren't affixed to the outer shaft it won't appreciably change how much the shaft will twist. It will affect how much it flexes and it will change the frequency of the harmonics in the shaft. |

You have to have a 350 or 355 graphite shaft according to them. My thing is this...is this cheating on any level or are you just making your driver of fairway wood better? I don't know if it is true and yet the concept sounds interesting, but not for $ (inbox me for the price)

Good food for thought. Heck who would know if you were using one. Maybe the pros are using it already. The only way they would know if the really inspected your grip. You thinking about getting one? I'm a high handicapper as of now & I don't know if that shoots to the top of my list for fixes in my game. |

I had seen it demo with at least a dozen golfers.
It won't give you more distance but definitely reduce the dispersement. It's no different than putting a heavier and stiffer but tip flexed shaft in the woods. A fix for someone whom does not want to spend the time on the range ( or does not have the time ). A quick fix that will work to a certain degree. Don't expect a miracle but it works. |
