DeChambeau整組球桿都配碳纖維桿身/DeChambeau makes history with 14 graphite shafts on PGA tour~上集

DeChambeau又有新消息，就是他成為美巡賽首位整組球桿都配置碳纖維桿身。這似乎也沒什麼了不起，因為對於一般球友來說，14支球桿都配碳纖維也稀鬆平常的事，但對於職業球員來說就不是了。職業球員尤其美巡賽這種高張力和高競爭環境，球員本身的力量和技術都特好。桿身這塊的好壞會直接影響球員成績表現。

碳纖維桿身對職業球員使用不好嗎？不是一堆球員都用碳纖維桿身嗎？沒錯，在木桿類來說幾乎所有職業球員都用碳纖維桿身，但在鐵桿桿身，挖起桿桿身和推桿桿身就不見得了。為什麼？因為越短的桿子，在下桿的承受力量會比長的桿身要更大。

因為桿身本身的受力面積鐵桿比木桿要小很多，所以桿身在單位面積上所承受的力量要更大更強。所以在這樣的使用需求上，如果桿身本身的強度不高，無法承受使用者的力量，就會讓擊球結果不穩定，效果發揮不會最好等結果。

當然現在科技和材質的進步下，對於碳纖維桿身強度已經不是太大問題。所以DeChambeau也是一位樂於嘗試新技術的職業球員。LAGP就滿足他對桿身上要更硬的需求，對於挖起桿桿身Rebar也是碳纖維材質。在最近的Shriners Hospitals for Children Open比賽裡最終一輪打出63桿的好成績。

現在越來越多職業球員使用碳纖維桿身在鐵桿和推桿上。Kevin Na在最近比賽也是使用LAGP TP推桿桿身，使用推桿有如神助！拿下冠軍。也就是對於職業球員在推桿也開始看到使用碳纖維材質桿身。這對於選手來說是很大的嘗試和代表。

DeChambeau loads his wedge shaft to LAGP Rebar and then becomes the first player with 14 graphite shafts on PGA tour. It seems there is no big deal for using all graphite shafts, but on PGA tour it's highly competitive and with the gears, if the club could not perform as good as players' expectation, there is no market for graphite shafts. In other word, shaft becomes important for tour player to perform their best on the tournament.

With woods, it's no doubt graphite shaft is mainstream, but with iron and putter, it's still stainless shaft's market. Why? Since the shorter length clubs require hard and still to load golfer's power and each spot of the shaft will load bigger power than wood shaft. That's why tour player is prefer to use stainless shaft on irons.

However, with material improvement and technology, graphite shaft on irons becomes stronger than ever with lighter advantage. There are more graphite iron shafts on tour and the young tour player like DeChambeau is using that will push graphite shaft to majority of golfers. We can enjoy the better performance and easier to handle advantage from graphite shaft and that's the benefits we can get through the technology.

LAGP designs his own wedge shaft to allow him swing and perform better. He asks for stiffer iron and wedge shafts and that's Rebar wedge shaft born. With that, he shot the final run at 63 in Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. I think it gave him the confidence to use the whole graphite shafts on tour.

With putter shaft, recently Kevin Na is hot on tour with his putter. He has been using LAGP TP putter shaft and got the champion with unbelievable putting results. That tells us that graphite shaft is entering all types of clubs. It was unable to see that in 20 years ago but with recent 10 years, the more graphite shafts come out, the results are better than people's expectations. Sooner or later, graphite shafts will be come the mainstream on golf clubs.
