I’ve come across a new set of these 3-PW uncut at a steal of a price. I can find absolutely nothing online about them. The concept seems interesting that they’re all tip matched for each club but can’t find anything about intended trajectory, disbursement, feeling, etc. Being a Rifle branded set, I’d imagine that they’re of decent quality but really can’t determine if it’s worth the gamble.

Anybody know anything about these?

Thanks!

limited info, but in essence all shafts will have a similar height when struck. Long irons will have a lower kickpoint, short irons higher giving a consistent trajectory across the set.
I’m sure Britt or Jim can answer better.

Yeah I kind of gathered that they might be a “flighted” rendition of a graphite shaft. I also found that all of the weights are uniform at each individual length, so in other words the PW and 4 iron shafts weight the same which I think should add to some steady shaft MOI progression through the set.. but I could be WAY off on that.

Bat signal engaged.. Britt.. Jim..? :P

Hold the phone. Jim found the Rifle Flighted (Flight Control) 75 gram constant weight shafts in our 2003 catalog. .370″ tip discrete length, 3.1 degrees of torque, mid high bend point and medium firm tip. Lengths went from 39″ to 35.5″. We sold them in sets for $149.95 back in 2003. Can’t remember anything about how they played, etc. but I am sure they were a good product.

As always, you’re the man Britt! Now the question is are they 2003 good or 2022 good? :) My guess is that they’re 2003 good being that graphite has come such a long way even in the past 5 years.

Thanks for the info!
