Z² Shaft vs 314 Shaft???

[Mr.RS4]

Could someone please tell me the difference?

could someone please tell me the difference?

z2 = 11.75mm tip size
314-2 = 12.80mm tip size

Z/2 = lower deflection

 

[dgem]

how about the z shaft and z2?

 

[Mr.RS4]

z2 = 11.75mm tip size
314-2 = 12.80mm tip size

Ok, it is just the size? Nothing else?

The Z-2 has a Euro/straight taper from the flex point to the tip. The 314-2 has what most people consider a pro taper. From the flex point to the tip is close to the same diameter.

-flex point is the point where two tapers meets. When a shaft is described as a 12" taper, 12 inches back from the tip, the taper changes, creating the compound taper. The front end of the shaft has more flex because, generally speaking, the rise in the front taper is less than that of the back taper.


<~~sight down your shaft like aiming a gun and you'll see what I am talking about.
