ShaftSaverPro: protection at the vulnerable contact point

The durable solution to prevent unnecessary damage to graphite shafts from the golf bag

Protect your shafts from bag wear

The ShaftSaverPro (measuring 5 cm and weighing approximately 2 grams) is placed on the contact zone between the shaft and the golf bag to absorb friction. This ensures that the ShaftSaverPro wears down instead of your shaft. Suitable for all graphite shafts of drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, and irons.

Protects graphite shafts from wear in the golf bag

The ShaftSaverPro wears down, not your shaft

Fits all standard graphite shaft diameters

High-quality technical elastomer with an industrial adhesive layer: dimensionally stable and resistant to all weather conditions on the golf course.

Who is the ShaftSaverPro for?

The ShaftSaverPro is designed for golfers who want to protect their graphite shafts from wear in the golf bag and extend the lifespan of their clubs. Particularly for:

Drivers, fairway woods, irons and hybrids with graphite shafts

Golfers who take good care of their equipment

Club fitters and golf shops that want to professionally protect their customers’ graphite shafts

Rules vs. Reality: For the win or for fun?

The R&A has officially designated the ShaftSaverPro as ‘non-conforming’. This means that the product may not officially be on the shaft during tournaments or handicap-qualifying rounds.
In practice: In a friendly round with your regular flight, the main priorities are enjoyment and the preservation of your valuable equipment. The ShaftSaverPro has no influence on your swing or ball flight.
The choice: Because the ShaftSaverPro is mounted with double-sided tape, it is intended for permanent use. Use during official tournaments is at your own risk.

When should you replace the ShaftSaverPro?

You replace the ShaftSaverPro as soon as it shows visible wear at the point where it contacts the golf bag. This indicates it has done its job: the ShaftSaverPro wears, not your shaft. With a thickness of over 1.5 mm, it offers long-lasting protection. In practice, a single ShaftSaverPro lasts for years. Replacement is simple.

The ShaftSaverPro can be removed from your shaft in under a minute. Watch the video.

When is the ShaftSaverPro not suitable?

In certain situations, the ShaftSaverPro may not perform optimally:

The compartments in your golf bag are not of equal height and you do not have a fixed club arrangement
You use multiple golf bags with different dimensions
If you regularly adjust the loft of your club
If you are about to purchase a new bag, which will change the contact/wear point

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is the ShaftSaverPro?

The ShaftSaverPro is approximately 5 cm long. Small enough to be unobtrusive, yet large enough to protect the exact area where wear occurs.

Does the ShaftSaverPro affect the ball flight?

In practice, golfers generally notice no difference. ShaftSaverPro underwent an initial blind test using TrackMan with a golf professional who hits drives with a carry distance of 270 metres. He noticed no difference, and the statistics also showed that it made no difference.

Can I install the ShaftSaverPro myself?

Yes. The ShaftSaverPro can be installed in just a few minutes using the double-sided tape provided. No tools are required. Watch the installation video.

Can I use the ShaftSaverPro during official competitions?

In official competitions and qualifying rounds, ShaftSaverPro is officially considered non-conforming under the current R&A interpretation if it remains on the shaft during a stroke. At the same time, it is not a device designed to improve performance. It provides no extra distance, does not change your swing and, in practice, has no noticeable effect on ball flight. ShaftSaverPro does only one thing: protect your graphite shaft from wear caused by the golf bag. If you still choose to use it during a competition, you do so at your own risk. An issue is most likely to arise if someone notices the product and reports it. For recreational golf, the choice is simpler: protect your golf shaft from your golf bag.

Does the ShaftSaverPro protect the entire shaft?

No. And that is precisely its strength. The ShaftSaverPro is fitted only where the shaft comes into contact with the golf bag—the exact spot where wear occurs. This protects the vulnerable area without adding unnecessary material or affecting your club.

How often should I replace the ShaftSaverPro?

The ShaftSaverPro wears down instead of your shaft. Depending on how often you play, one ShaftSaverPro will usually last for years. Replacing it is easy and costs only a few euros.

How is the ShaftSaverPro attached?

The ShaftSaverPro is attached using the supplied 3M double-sided tape. It acts as a strong, flexible adhesive: it stays firmly in place but can later be removed and replaced without damaging the shaft.

In what quantities is the ShaftSaverPro available?

The ShaftSaverPro is available in retail packs of 5. Packs of 13 or 50 are also available from the webshop.

I own a golf shop and would like to order a larger quantity. Is that possible?

Yes. Larger quantities of ShaftSaverPro without retail packaging are available for golf shops and club fitters. This allows you to fit a ShaftSaverPro as standard on every graphite shaft you sell. Contact us.

Where can I buy the ShaftSaverPro?

More and more golf shops and golf professionals are stocking the ShaftSaverPro. The launch has only just begun, and we are rapidly expanding the network. You can order the ShaftSaverPro directly from the webshop on this website.

Can the ShaftSaverPro cause wear to my golf bag?

Both the shaft and the ShaftSaverPro may cause wear to the golf bag in certain situations.
