Why Shaft Flex Matters
The flex of your golf shaft is crucial for optimizing your performance. Playing with the wrong shaft flex can lead to inconsistent shots, loss of distance, and poor accuracy. The right flex helps you maximize distance, improve accuracy, achieve better consistency, and optimize ball flight.
Understanding Flex Options
Extra Stiff (X):
For players with very fast swing speeds (105+ mph) and aggressive transitions.
Stiff (S):
Ideal for players with swing speeds between 95-105 mph.
Regular (R):
Best for average golfers with swing speeds between 85-95 mph.
Senior/Amateur (A):
Designed for players with swing speeds between 75-85 mph.
Key Factors to Consider
- Swing Speed:The primary factor in determining shaft flex
- Tempo:How smooth or aggressive your swing transition is
- Release Point:When you release the club during your downswing
- Ball Flight:Desired trajectory and shot shape preferences
