Well has rolled out another winner. Although not new in 2009′, the Grafalloy Epic was Grafalloy’s first go at the new technology that puts a new meaning to strength, the patented Nanofuse technology. Grafalloy’s mantra is offering the distance of graphite with the control of steel. Says Graeme Horwood, VP Engineering / R&D - “Epic represents the first sporting goods product that’s been truly enabled by recent advances in utilizing complete nanotechnology.” The Nanofuse technology material offers a super-lightweight shaft with explosive distance and up to 35% improvement in shot dispersion. If this is true, this would put an extra 20 yards in distance! This is a bold statement by Grafalloy, let’s see if they can back it up.

Actual Player Feedback-

“It is very tight on dispersion”

“I picked up 8 yards of carry over the Diamana Red Board in my driver with the same launch angle and about 300 RPM less spin”

“It’s a long straight shaft, no joke”

Grafalloy Epic Specs-

The specs are fairly uniform. The shaft flex comes in R, S and X and weight ranges from 69 to 73 based on the Tip Size .335 or .350. The Torque is 3.5 for all models.

The rave is a smooth shaft with tight dispersion and added distance. A very good looking shaft with it’s silvery with exceptional calligraphy. Almost reminds me of the new Fubuki. This shaft has proven and continues to gain notice. The shaft is basically a high launch, low to mid spin shaft that provides exceptional feel.

Price is the one deterrent.The Epic has a higher price that puts this shaft out of reach for the recreational player which is downright unfortunate.

Because of the new technology and higher price, the Epics is not a mainstream shaft but amid the good reviews for players that do use it, the popularity continues to grow, especially serious golfer looking for right shaft profile. The Grafalloy Epic is a high end, quality shaft that maybe fair to say, is ahead of it’s time?
