i've never seen a shaft deflect like that before

Not sure who i'm more worried for....

The shaft...

Or the ground...

That can't be good on the joints...

Psh, boo took that like a champ (didn't hurt him). I'm guessing he knows how to hit that shot with no problem.

In watching that video, I wonder if a lot of us would benifit from softer shafts ? I can't make my shaft do that,but I CAN buy shafts that would do that. Would it be a benifit ?

Dale,

Shafts are timing mechanisms. Boo's shafts are Extra Stiff (X) and may be X tipped. Although softer shafts may deflect more after hitting the ground, it is way harder to swing them with the same speed and force. Your shaft doesn't do this because it doesn't have the same release as Boo's. I'm sure BM has some film that looks like this.

Softer shafts require your transition to be more patient and it is harder to rip it.
If your shafts are too stiff for you, even a mild mishit feels like crap.
