New Rapid Taper RTI85 Wedge Golf Shaft

Stop It to Win It! The most unique wedge shaft ever released. Features a rapidly tapering section that increases spin rates up to 2000rpm over steel shafts designed for that purpose. For players with any tempos/transitions and driver swing speeds up to 100 mph.

The most unique wedge shaft ever released has a big brother. The new Xcaliber RT Spin Wedge Golf Shaft features a rapidly tapering section a few inches below the end of the grip for higher launch and spin rates. Now available in both 85g and 100g designs.

• 2,000+ rpm more than any steel shaft designed specifically for that purpose
• Engineered for golfers who need help getting the ball to check-up or back-up on their wedge approach shots
• For players with any tempo who have medium to slow swing speeds

Spin It to Win It!

The new Xcaliber RT Spin Wedge Golf Shaft was designed with a rapidly narrowing 2.5 in. section below the grip. It tapers down to an almost parallel section that reaches all the way to the tip. The lower section is stiffer than most iron or wedge shafts to avoid crazy high spin.

To hit good wedge shots, you do need an adequate amount of spin action. Think of the action of a whip—all the energy of the cord is stored until the last moment of release. This is what causes the familiar “snap” you hear. The RT Spin Wedge Golf Shaft acts on a similar principle. As you make contact, the shaft transfers energy to the ball and increases spin.

Extensive player and robotic testing with the RT Spin Wedge Golf Shaft has shown increases in spin rate over 2,000 rpm above that of steel shafts designed for the same purpose. The RT Spin Wedge Golf Shaft is perfect for players who struggle to get their ball to check-up or back-up on wedge approach shots to the green. It works equally well for golfers with a variety of tempos and transitions who swing medium to slow.

If you have a slow to average swing speed, we recommend using the 85g version. You can expect to get high launch and high spin.

For faster swing speeds, we recommend using the 100g version. It will deliver a medium to high ball flight with slightly less spin.

Standard Trim Instructions:

• Butt trim to length

Experienced Club Makers:

• A combination of tip and butt trim is also allowed (3 in. max. tip trim)
• Measure tip outer diameter and hosel depth before tipping to ensure proper fit. 

Note: Trimming instructions are not set in stone (as many companies will maintain). Rather they are a basic guide for assembly.

Experimentation is definitely allowed and even encouraged once one has experience with the performance of any Xcaliber shaft.
