Shaft Skinz – Decorate and protect any shaft in minutes…

Shaft Skinz is the way to decorate and protect any golf club shaft whether graphite or steel, stepped or tapered or even bent (as many putter shafts are). The ‘Skinz’ are micro thin, pre-printed plastic film shrink sleeves that are activated by heat to take the form of the shaft underneath forming a protective skin on the shaft.


Product overview:

- Choice of 48 different sleeve options - visit the ‘Designs’ menu item to view the range.
- Fitted (installed) in about 3-5 minutes with a suitably strong hair dryer1- visit the How To page to see.
- Prevent bag wear on graphite and rust spots on steel shafts.2
- No need to have the grip removed3 - sleeves slide over the grip.
- Removable again in seconds4 - they don’t stick to the shaft - so you can try a different look.
- Fully USGA and R&A Rule conforming - suitable for competition play at all levels.
- Negligible effect on shaft performance - even pros can’t feel the difference.5
- Put in play on the world’s professional tours by more than 90 players.

Technical info

Shaft Skinz sleeves will add about 3–4g depending on the length of the shaft being ‘skinned’ and the amount of excess material being trimmed away. On a driver, using a full sleeve, this equates to around half of 1 swing weight which is well below what is detectable to the human hand.

We have had the sleeves tested using a renowned shaft analysis machine. This has shown a negligible increase (0.005%) in the stiffness (frequency) of the shaft being tested.
    Notes
  • 1. A 2kW hair dryer is recommended. A lower wattage may increase the application time considerably and may even make application impossible. A heat gun should not be used as these can be too powerful and may melt the sleeves or split the seam.
  • 2. Requires sleeves to be replaced if integrity is compromised to maintain protection.
  • 3. Shaft Skinz sleeves slide over a regular or mid-sized grip. Jumbo grips need to be removed for the fitting of sleeves.
  • 4. Requires a sharp knife (razor blade, craft knife or similar). Use the recommended technique to avoid damage.
  • 5. See technical info (above).
