Our new line is called the ET2. The ET2 is an upgrade of the original ETA model Golf Shaft and was manufactured with “Feel”, “Control”, and “Distance” as the primary design drivers. All other parameters (Mechanical and Physical) compliment these three design attributes. We offer the best shaft out there- twice the quality and for half the price of many shaft upgrades that are out on the market.
The ET2is now available for purchase. please visit our Products page for specs and information.
