Graman Graphite Shafts
Greetings,
We know Graman shafts, as we have a long history with them.
You will have an opportunity to learn about that history and discover why we are so keen on them at the end of this introduction.
It should be noted that as of July 2009 Graman has introduced an entirely new line from top to bottom. You will get all the new Graman information and pricing here.
Why the new line of Graman shafts when these shafts have been so successful for custom club makers, and for golfers of all skill levels from long drive champions to high handicappers as well?
The reason Graman has remade their shafts is that they have developed a new resin system.
The resin system is what holds all of the various plies of graphite material together
Gramans new resin system which comes out of Germany has enabled them to produce their designs more efficiently and requires less weight to fabricate.
This allowed them to add an extra torque ply or two in the tip section depending on the model which tightens the shot dispersion and lowers your score.
On some other models it allowed for some extra overall length as well as extra length in the parallel tip section.
Having extra parallel and overall length allows for the use of combo flexes on some models and offers club makers more choices when trying to flight a shaft or set.
Graman has not stopped with the improvement and re make of their existing line; they have added a new Super Shaft!
The new Graman Super Shaft is called The S Series, think of it as a UL on steroids, this is based on an Ultimate G Series platform and structure, but with the new quad axial pre preg material.
Remember the Fujikura Speeder? That was Tri Axe, this is Quad Axe.
This material is manufactured by Nippon in Japan and is what is used in the Diamana shafts which are much more expensive.
How good is this material?
Consider that Mitsubishi Rayon, who makes the Diamana shaft, a company that is considered a world leader in the manufacturing of acrylic and carbon fiber, with over 9,000 employees and consolidated revenues of nearly $3 billion USD globally went out side their organization to purchase this sacred weave from Nippon in Japan!
Yeah, that’s I’m talking about material wise, now lay it up on a Limey platform and structure with Graman’s production tolerances, and their newly developed German resin system and you will know why I am calling it a Super Shaft.
So when you see the price of the new S Signature Series shafts from Graman, don’t think about how expensive they are, rather think of what a bargain they are in comparison to other shafts using this material.
An important distinction is that the new S Series uses this quad axial material from the tip through the butt, whereas others often just use it in either the tip or the butt!
The information below, we have had on our site for some time, and even though it is mainly about the older Graman shaft models, I’m leaving it as is for historical purposes, and as a sort of archive for people who may have these shafts, but it should be noted that as of July 2009 Graman has introduced an entirely new line from top to bottom.
The new line is comprised of the best of the best of the old models, but with the new improvements. So we may have a model like the UL 440 and say please see the G-60. In this way you can compare the specs of the traditional Graman shafts against the new Graman shaft models.
