Introducing Defy – a shaft that defies the stereotype of carbon fiber shafts. Defy gives you the unparalleled accuracy and control that you expect from carbon fiber, but uses state-of-the-art technologies to shatter its limitations. SmacWrap, originally designed for the aerospace industry, absorbs vibration and dampens noise resulting in a confident hit with a soft feel and quiet sound. Our super-smooth coating reduces friction, allowing the shaft to glide through your fingers with ease like a wood shaft. Only Defys insane energy transfer and accuracy will remind you that youre using a carbon fiber shaft.Features:Carbon fiber constructionImproved accuracy and controlAbsorbs vibrationSuper-smooth coating reduces friction5/16 x 18 joint configurationShaft Details:Collar: BlackConstruction: Carbon Fiber w/ SmacWrapDiameter: 12 mmFace Type: FlatFerrule: GreyJoint Type: 5/16 x 18Length: 29 in.Shaft Name: McDermott Defy Shaft (5/16 x 18, .855)Taper: Defy Hybrid TaperTip Color: BrownTip Hardness: SoftTip Layers: 10Tip Material: Japanese PigskinTip Name: Navigator AutomaticWarranty: Lifetime Manufacturer’s Warranty
