Looking for a new image for the New Year?

Golfers have been known for their flashy clothing and accessories. (pastel pants, white belts and wild headcovers) If you want to add some attitude or pizzazz to your game without committing a fashion faux pas, check out the new Shaft Skinz you can apply to your golf shafts.

Currently, the Shaft Skinz comes in 7 styles, each having several color options – Champaign Bubbles, Camouflage, Confetti, Fire Flames, Puzzle Pieces, Skull & Cross Bones and Snake Skin.

Applying the Shaft Skinz is relatively simple, slide the sleeve over the club and use a high powered hair dryer to shrink wrap the material around the shaft. Cut away the excess and your club has a whole new look. Since no adhesive is used, removing the skinz can be done with a razor blade. Amazingly no stickiness or residue is left behind.

Professional players have started donning the colorful skinz. Most notable is Rory Sabbatini who plays with a black skull and cross bones on his putter.

Admittedly I was a tad skeptic that this sleeve would change the weight of the club or stiffness of the shaft. Martin Greeves the founder and president of Shaft Skinz, reassured me that the Shaft Skinz were independently tested with a shaft analysis machine (used by over 75% of the tour pros). The findings showed that there was negligible difference between the stiffness of the shaft before and after sleeving. (less than 0.005%). That difference is not perceptible to the human hand. Greeves also shared that the Shaft Skinz conformed to the USGA and R&A Rules of Golf.

Shaft Skinz’s motto is “Play With Color.” My putter and wedge now display the blue flame shaft skinz and my short game now has some serious attitude.
