[vijesh]

Hi anybody in this forum makes a shaft as high as 60 - 70 GPI of even higher and also what is maximum growh rings it has.

Thanks

No one in this forum makes shafts with this high GPI.

Why would they? A friend of mine made a lamenated shaft with 55 gpi as an expeirment and nobody liked the way it hit. I think 15-25 is what most people go for.

There is a difference between having 55 gpi and having a laminated shaft. Now, it sounds like you are talking about 55 pieces per inch that were laminated together. Even still though, the hit of a laminated shaft is different from an old growth or even a normal shaft.

High gpi shafts

Try Ronnie Powell at Q perfect if you want one 50 rings or higher. When he has them in stock, he gets 5-6 hundred per shaft though.

Big Difference...Why is there a difference between a lam shaft and one with a straight grain maple with the same number of gpi? If the rings and lams are both aligned the same direction? Not arguing just wondering why. It's odd that the same number of lams and rings seem to work the best.(around 20)

The biggest thing I think would make a differense is glue and lots of it in laminated shafts,the wood really loses its natural feel.
