Another feature of the HQ Steel Composite Shaft is the hollow steel shaft section. While a steel shaft it achieves carbon shaft lightness and boasts high strength. Carefully selecting the best steel materials, this allows the tube to be extremely thin while successfully achieving lightness and strong strength.
