NEW! REACTOR LT Wood Shaft
Phoenixx Golf has just released its latest high performance shaft offering. Designed for any level player, the shaft has all the performance characteristics of advanced thermo-composite materials technology, coupled with a new high performance design giving the shaft even more boring trajectory and incredible accuracy. Some immediate noticeable differences are the low torque, lighter weight and an improved steel-like tactile response felt by the golfer. Designed with forgiveness and accuracy in mind the flex points vary by flex with mid to low for senior and regular flex and mid flex point for stiff, X-flex and XX flex. Through extensive testing this shaft was found to be suited to advanced, mid-level and high handicap players looking to improve accuracy trajectory and distance.

Thermo Shafts will play approximately 8-10 cycles higher than static CPM readings.

Due to the visco-elastic nature of Thermo Composite materials relative to regular graphite, the properties in torque and flex will stiffen during a swing. As a result, Thermo Composite shafts will play lower in torque and higher in flex than they measure in current static test procedures. Therefore, we have developed the concept of "effective torque" in order to give the clubfitter a more accurate measure of the dynamic torsional stiffness when fitting golfers. When properly fitted, the thermo shafts will actually adjust to the golfer's swing! We have also cross referenced the shaft flex with the recommended swing speed to help more accurately fit golfers to the appropriate flex in the Thermo Composite shaft.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of Thermo shafts?
All the playability of high performance graphite with the consistency and feel of steel. Due to the performance enhancing attributes of Thermo-Composite materials, Thermo shafts provide better shot control and more consistent play over a wider swing speed range. The dynamic stiffening causes the shaft to play more firm the harder you swing.

I am happy with my current shafts, why should I take a chance on yours?
This is your chance to compliment your current line of shafts with the latest and hottest technology on the market. We're getting a lot of tour usage and most OEM companies are currently working with our technology.

Which OEM's are using Thermo shafts?
A number of companies are using the shaft with tour staff and with custom orders. In fact most of the OEM's are working with our technology in the R&D stage right now, so they obviously recognize the potentialand are capitalizing on it.

What should I know about assembly of Thermo shafts v. graphite?
The same care you take with graphite shafts should be used with thermo-composites. The only little extra care may be to use slower cutting and sanding speeds to avoid shiny and melted spots. Some advantages you have using our shafts are the spine marking we do for you and butt trim only to final length. This saves you time and labor, which saves you money.

Won't Thermo shafts melt or twist in the trunk of my car on a 100-degree day?
No. Thermo-composites are actually cured at a higher temperature than standard thermoset shafts. (600 as compared to 300 )

Don't Thermo shafts break down and change performance over time?
They wouldn't use the material for submarines and aircraft if it did. In fact thermo-commposites are actually tougher than standard graphite.

How do you compare a Thermo shaft with a

Grafalloy Pro-Lite 3.5

Harrison Pro 2.5

True Temper EI-70

UST Pro Force 65/75

Apache Micro 58

AJ Tech 4000 Series

There really is no comparison since the feel and playability are unique to any other shaft on the market. You get the transmission quality of steel with the soft feel and responsiveness of thermo- composites. This includes the visco-elastic properties that make for increased playability throughout the player's entire swing speed range. There is no harshness as associated with steel or standard graphite. (Why would the EI-70 be available with sensicore? Sensicore in graphite?)

Trimmming and Installation Instructions

COLOR STRIPE AT OUTSIDE BUTT OF SHAFT (Align towards target)

1. Single stripe is low end of CPM i.e. 0 - 4
2. Single stripe with dot is high end of CPM i.e. 5 - 9
(Example: P1220 low is 230-234 CPM / P1220 high is 235-239 CPM

TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS

1. It is recommended that Thermo-CompositeTM shafts be cut with a fine hacksaw blade. When using a cut-off wheel, slower speeds are recommended compared to regular graphite shafts.
2. Shaft must be clamped with rubber jaws to prevent damage. Care should be taken when removing Thermo-Composite shafts from club heads. As with any graphite shaft, excess heat should not be used. (Shafting epoxy breaks down at approximately 275 F)
3. Thermo-Composite shafts have a broad flex range. Tip should not be trimmed if you want maximum loading from the shaft for your swing speed.
4. Thermo Pro and Thermo Pro iron shafts may be tip trimmed up to 1/2" if necessary.(1/2" is half of a flex)
5. ThermoPro Tour and ThermoLite Tour may be tip trimmed up to 1" if necessary.
Butt trim to final length.

SANDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BONDING

Slow speeds and fresh belts are recommended for sanding. High sanding speeds may melt resin causing shiny (smooth) areas, which are difficult to bond to. A final hand sanding is recommended along the length of the shaft prior to bonding. This ensures a rough surface finish to help improve bond strength between the head and the shaft.

Due to the visco-elastic nature of Phoenixx Thermo-CompositeTM materials relative to regular graphite, their properties in torque and flex stiffen at higher swing speeds. The harder you swing, the stiffer it plays. As a result, Thermo-Composite shafts typically play lower in torque and higher in flex than they measure in current static test procedures. Therefore, we have developed the concept of "effective torque" in order to give the club fitter a more accurate measure of the dynamic torsional stiffness when fitting golfers. In addition, we have also cross referenced the shaft flex with recommended swing speeds to help more accurately fit golfers to the appropriate flex in the Thermo-Composite shaft.
