1603.0. "What colors Ladies Shafts would you pick?" by SQM::KELLEY () Thu Oct 22 1992 13:40

    hello lady golfers, (or anyone with an opinion,)!
    
    If you were to get new clubs (LADIES) with graphite shafts which of the 
    following colors would you prefer?
    
    		Burgandy blending to silver
    		Black blending to purple
    		Black blending to pink

    	Assuming that these are the brand/quality/flex shafts that you
    	wanted and that you aren't just doing this for the color:
    
    	I would take the burgandy to silver because I think that that 
    	would look the least 'trendy' (meaning 2 years from now somebody
    	won't say - hey you must have bought that club in 1993).
    	Of course you could get your clubs reshafted every year....
    
    	What are you buying anyway?  Just curious.
    
    
1603.2Color???GEMINI::MCCRACKENFri Oct 23 1992 10:585
    I'm really sorry.....but the color of the club should have nothing
    to do with your purchase if in fact you are golfing for the sport
    and not just to look good out there.
    
    
1603.3'color is psychological'CSLALL::WEWINGFri Oct 23 1992 12:407
    color is a very important psychological issue.
    if the three color combos are all the same shaft,
    what is the harm in picking a color you like?
    
    lighten up!

1603.5colors aren't always coloursSOFBAS::SULLIVANFri Oct 23 1992 18:249
    
     I think Linda has a good point. I have been looking into new clubs
    and graphite shafts. And boy, there sure are a whole lot of colors
    out there. But, in the case of Aldila the different colors have
    different tourque ratings... Be carefule that the colors are just
    colors and not a manufactures way of having different tourque ratings
    or this could really get you in trouble without knowing.

1603.6Cosmetics Are Just That...MRKTNG::VARLEYMon Oct 26 1992 12:344
    The heck with it - get yourself a gold or gray graphite shaft and look
    like a player...

1603.7Color is irrelevantTARKUS::ELENEHANMon Oct 26 1992 14:478
    	Jack,
    
    	I couldn't agree with you more!  And, I am a woman golfer.  
    	I recently had graphite shafts put on my woods, and the color
    	was last on my list if at all.

    Thanks, Eunwha - I like to stay on the good side of the golfing
    Lenehans... Actually, I probably should have lightened up. Apparently,
    golf companies have done extensive marketing to show that many female
    consumers like things like color-coordinated shafts, just as guys like
    maco sounding names for drivers, etc. As long as people like 'em, and
    the companies make 'em, it sure doesn't matter to me what color they
    are. I used to be a "purist," and now look at me - Yonex driver and 4
    wood, Edge irons - New Wave, dude ! At least I still have a circa 1935
    Wilson R-90 SW, though...
