NEWARK, OHIO —Following the great success of its proprietary FiberSteel shafts last year, The Golfworks announces the release of an all-new FiberSteel ‘stepless’ design that combines high performance with the unique PVD chrome-coated finish, a trademark of the FiberSteel line.

The new ultralight FiberSteel UL75 CT ‘Constant Taper’ wood and the FiberSteel Stepless iron shafts are manufactured to tight tolerances for consistency from shaft to shaft and designed to allow for controlled ball flight through structural engineering. In addition to providing additional ball flight options to the FiberSteel line, the two new FiberSteel models combine the performance advantages of lightweight composites engineered for specific trajectories with the unique PVD-coated finish that gives these graphite shafts the look of steel.  

„The geometry of a graphite is critical in determining the overall feel and playability of a golf shaft,‰ explains Britt Lindsey, vice president of technical services and R & D for The Golfworks. „The constant taper design tends to eliminate the ‘boardy’ feeling associated with many of the high-performance graphite shafts on the market that do not have a consistent taper design from the butt to the tip. You get a very stable shaft that does not feel as if it needs to be muscled in order to perform.‰

The UL75CT wood shaft is a mid 70-gram constant taper, low torque wood shaft that is designed for high performance. Precision wrapped to extremely tight tolerances, the constant taper design provides consistent feel from the tip through the butt of the shaft, something lacking from many non-constant taper designs on the market. The new FiberSteel stepless iron shaft is a mid-kick, mid-launch graphite shaft that weighs 75 to 77 grams, lighter than the lightest lightweight steel shaft. However, unlike many ultralight steel iron shafts that can feel harsh, the stepless FiberSteel absorbs vibration like graphite, because it is 100 percent graphite.
