OVVIO IRON SHAFTS
Introducing OVVIO IRON Shafts
At GEARS Golf, we don’t just measure performance—we engineer it. OVVIO Iron Shafts are built using filament winding, an advanced, automated process that eliminates inconsistencies found in traditional carbon fiber shafts. The result? More consistent strikes, better control, and a feel that even steel shaft purists will love.
Consistency You Can Trust
Filament winding ensures that OVVIO iron shafts are 100% seamless, allowing them to load and unload the same way every time so golfers can produce a more repeatable strike pattern. This isn’t just a new alternative—it’s a true evolution in iron shaft technology.
Three Profiles, Unlimited Precision
Using GEARS 3D motion capture, we developed three distinct OVVIO shaft profiles—RED, BLUE, and GREEN—each designed to match the swing characteristics of the most common player types. With 7.5-inch parallel tip sections, every shaft can be customized for weight, flex, and balance, ensuring a tour-level fit for every golfer.
Feels Like Steel. Performs Like Nothing Else.
To date, carbon fiber iron shafts have struggled with feel—serious golfers report them as feeling “brittle” and “clunky.” Thanks to the precision of filament winding, OVVIO shafts deliver the smooth, responsive feedback of steel without the weight or vibration. Even traditionalists will rethink their loyalty.
The Gears Curve: Rethinking Lie Angle
A better iron shaft is only part of the equation. Lie angle matters just as much, but it’s been misunderstood for decades. GEARS founder Michael Neff uncovered a key insight: traditional lie angles fail to account for shaft droop—a critical factor in club performance at impact.
How The Gears Curve Helps
Ever struggle with over-fading long irons or pulling short irons, even when it feels like you made a great swing? You’re not alone. GEARS Analytics proves that golfers perform best with a specific, custom lie angle across their irons and wedges—one matched to their unique swing.
That’s where the GEARS Curve comes in. It’s not a one-size-fits-all number. It varies based on a golfer’s swing characteristics and equipment needs. A GEARS Fitting makes it easy to find your optimal lie angle, leading to more consistency, better contact, and improved ball flight.
Find Your Gears Curve Number
Some golfers need a lie angle as flat as 59 or 60 degrees—the standard lie angle of a 3-iron. Others perform best with a lie angle as upright as 64 degrees—the standard lie angle of a pitching wedge.
We know it sounds a little crazy—a pitching wedge as flat as a 3-iron? A 3-iron as upright as a pitching wedge? But once you find your GEARS Curve number, you’ll never look at lie angles the same way again.
Trusted By PGA Tour Winners
The GEARS Curve is already in play on the PGA Tour, helping some of the best iron players in the game hit straighter long irons, fewer short iron pulls, and establish consistent start lines from their longest iron to their lob wedge.
The Need For Change Is Obvious
GEARS OVVIO Iron Shafts will soon be available through GEARS Fitting Locations as well as other leading fitting locations across the world. GEARS fitters will be able to use GEARS data to match your swing with the ideal OVVIO shaft and adjust your lie angles based on the GEARS CURVE. Don’t settle for what’s been considered “good enough.” Get measured and start hitting your best iron shots ever.
