BRAVA Design
Using proven TORAYTM technology, the light weight carbon fiber with extreme strength, the BRAVA shafts are available in weights from 46 to 55 grams. These light weight shafts are designated by flex and estimated swing speed:
Model Flex Weight Trajectory Spin
BRAVA 75 A 46gr Mid-High Mid-High
BRAVA 85 R 50gr Mid-High Mid-High
BRAVA 95 S 54gr Mid-High Mid-High
BRAVA Profile
Our profile testing shows that the BRAVA driver shafts are mid-high trajectory and mid-high spin. The mid section has a firm feel which helps the shaft feel more stable at impact. Torque is mid range but actually a little firmer than we expected for the lighter weight. These shafts are also slightly counterbalanced so will play 1-2 swing weights lighter than other non-counterbalanced shafts.
BRAVA Results
We have been testing these shafts against several other designs and are pleasantly surprised at their performance. Our testers have handicaps from 2 to 15 and swing speeds from 85 to 115 and are using TrackMan IV.
Club Speed - Similar to other shafts. Slight increase with slower swings.
Spin - Nice, low spin across all golfers. Typically sub 2,500 rpm
Trajectory - Mid to mid-high. Not much difference to other mid trajectory shafts, maybe up to 5 feet higher apex.
Accuracy - Tight dispersion across all testers, even using the same shaft.
Feel - Has more stability in the mid section with a little less "release" than say a Graphite Design Tour AD
Don't be afraid to try the lighter weight shafts for slower swing speeds. You may be surprised at the results!
