Help with choosing a new trad shaft color
« on: September 10, 2015, 06:47:00 PM »
Well, I know that we talked about a new traditional shaft pattern/design in the spring but I just didn't realize how long this process takes. We have gotten very close on a pattern and now before they make some actual samples, we want to pin down the color choice.
The patterns on the color samples are not the correct pattern and are just being used purely as a color representative.

The pattern is to be a much more realistic wood grain and my current thoughts are to name them "Dark Timber" not that they have to be very dark.

The new shafts will be identical in specs to that of the current traditional shafts except that all spines will be at least 32"s long and maybe even 33" ____________________________________________

Now, if you don't mind helping, how about voting on your choice of color for the new shaft from the following options:

Canadian oak looks like the current pattern on the GT Traditional shafts. I like the top three.
