What are the advantages for each? Does a golfer need to be at a certain handicap for one over the other? Thanks in advance.

Re: Flighted versus Non-flighted shafts
Flighted shafts will promote a higher ball flight and non flighted will be lower, no you don't need to be a certain handicap to play them, just need to be fitted into either flighted or non.Driver- Callaway FT-9 / Accra Dymatch S3 75 M4
Fairway- Miura 3 wood / Accra XE80 M5
Hybrids- Adams Idea Pro 3 with Accra XH85

Flighted Rifles are made from Rifle blanks and tipped differently to promote differing ball flights.
They have softer tips in the long irons to help promote a higher ball flight
they have stiffer tips in the short irons to help keep the ball down
they are just standard rifles in the middle irons.
so when they make a rifle shaft with say a 5.5 frequency listed they will use both Rifle 6 and Rifle 5 shafts and tip them differently to manipulate the trajectory but keep the butt frequency consistent but yet they will play differently.Last edited by Weirfan; Mar 3, 2009, 12:56 PM."Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened "

Do you think they change ball trajectory any appreciatable amount or more hype?Adams XTD Ti 12.5* / TightLies 2 Ti / Super 9031 Tour / Ping WRX i20 Irons
