How To Choose The Right Shaft Flex For Your Golf Clubs

from: Jack Moorehouse






All low handicappers and golfers who are serious about shooting


the lowest scores possible consider flex in their clubs. It


makes the science of hitting the ball so much easier, which


translates to more enjoyment on the course. Now, when I say


"flex", I am referring to the ability of a golf shaft to bend as


forces are applied to it during the golf swing. Just go ahead


and "waggle" your club a little and see how much the shaft bends


and you will get an idea of what "flex" is. There are five basic


categories or types of shaft flex:







1. Extra Stiff 2. Stiff 3. Regular 4. Senior 5. Ladies Why is


the flex in your shaft important? Well, when you have a flex


that doesn't match the needs of your swing, the result is the


clubface being misaligned at impact, causing your shots to go


off-target. Not good. To be more specific, your flex will impact


how straight you hit the ball, how high or low it goes and how


long or short it travels. Keep in mind one very important thing


about the shaft of your club and its flex. As the shaft flexes


throughout the swing, the position of the clubhead will change.


This means you need a shaft that will properly match your swing


type and speed so that it can deliver the clubface back to a


square position at impact. For example, if the flex of your


clubs is too stiff, the clubface will tend to be open, sending


the ball in a slicing direction. Or, if you have clubs with a


shaft flex that is not very stiff, the clubhead will be tend to


be closed at impact, resulting in a hook. Choose Your Flex Type


I always am experimenting with different shafts and flex types


because I know that if my swing is on plane and accurate, my


shaft flex type can be adversely affecting my results.







Here's what I do: * Your driver will be your best gauge on which


flex you need. Not 100% accurate but the best club to use for


this purpose. If you can carry you driver 250 yards or more, go


with Stiff; 230-250 yards, Regular; 200-230 yards, Senior; less


than 200 yards, Ladies. What about Extra Stiff? I can count the


number of people on one hand that actually need or use an Extra


Stiff shaft. Only guys like John Daily and Long Drive Champions


need that type. * If shots with your driver tend to go left, you


might benefit from a stiffer flex; if your drives go right, you


might benefit from a softer flex.







* If you know (or have been told) you have a very smooth swing,


you might benefit from a softer flex even if you swing very


fast. Further, if you have a swing that gets jerky at the top,


especially starting the downswing, you'll probably need a


stiffer shaft. The Best (and most accurate way) to Choose Flex


Type If you are not comfortable determining which flex you


should choose on your own, go see your local pro at the course


you play at or your driving range. This will take a lot of the


guesswork out of the equation.







A good pro will take a lot of measurements, watch your swing,


measure your swing speed, watch your ball flight and be able to


tell you with certainty which flex is right for you. What you


want to do is to experiment by hitting lots of different clubs


and watching the effects on your shots of changing shaft flex.


If you find a flex that feels good and produces a good ball


flight, there's a good chance that's the right flex for you.







And lastly, here's the best advice I can give on choosing flex.


Most high-handicappers (especially men) tend to over-swing. If


this describes you (and you know who you are), you should


consider a softer flex to help you slow your swing down. Slowing


down the swing will certainly produce more accurate shots and


better distance control.
