PENLEY ET3LD LONG DRIVE SHAFT

Designed for strong, powerful hitters that require extreme distance and control, especially in Long Drive Competitions.

The ET3LD shaft is ideal for:

  • Strong, powerful hitters that require extreme distance and control – particularly Professional Long Drive competitors as well as aspiring Long Drive Competitors.
  • Accommodates lower head lofts typically used in Long Drive Competitions
  • Competition fairway accuracy – tighter dispersion means more shots staying within the Grid – a must for all Long Drive Competitors
DESIGN DRIVERS

Fully advancing and applying the TBAR algorithm for the Long Drive shaft design. The ET3LD shaft has been upgraded and improved as well as upgrading the material used, plus geometry changes resulting in a tighter, more accurate shot placement. As well as:

  • Smoother load transition throughout the neutral axis, yielding a tighter dispersion – means more competition fairway accuracy
  • Maximum Load Transition to improve distance, accuracy and performance
  • Accommodates lower head lofts generally used in Long Drive events.
  • The tightest, most accurate manufacturing tolerances of any golf shaft manufacturer in the industry.

Although not technical in application, the ET3LD shaft gets a cosmetic upgrade: the ET3LD is gloss black and decorated with a brilliant white pearlescent sleeve unique to the Long Drive model.

HANDCRAFTED WITH PRECISION

All ET3LD shafts are rolled and ground with handcrafted precision practiced by no other known manufacturer. Mr. Penley himself oversees the manufacturing and quality control of each and every Long Drive shaft.

SMALL LOT NUMBERED PRODUCTIONS

The ET3LD shafts are produced in small lots of 20 or less per flex range and are individually numbered per each lot produced.

SWING SPEED

Suggested Flex Selection by Swing Speed:

X – Generally 115-135+ mph. STRONG, AGGRESSIVE tempo

2X – Generally 135-145+ mph.

3X – Generally 150+ mph.

4X – Generally 150+ mph.

NOTE: Swing speed average may vary based on individual swing tempo and timing.

* The TBAR (Tip to Butt Aspect Ratio) Algorithm is the determining flex factor, although we do apply common flex range description to help players determine which golf shaft is best suited for their level of play.

All Penley shafts are designed primarily to meet the 1 (mid-range) of each shaft flex and fits approximately ~60% of players.

NOTE: Carter Penley developed specific Zone Flexes for the professional level player (PGA, LPGA, Long Drive and aspiring amateurs) and denotes those flexes as ‘Zone Flex Characterizations’.
Players of this level may want to contact the factory to determine if the production mid-range TBAR shaft is suitable for their specific swing.

For those that need a a different, more specific tuned shaft for their needs (such as higher/lower launch), review the Zone Flex Characterization Chart or Contact Penley directly.

NOTE: Due to the extreme use, All ET3LD Long Drive Shafts are precision built on custom engineering orders only and built in small lots of 20 or less at a time.
