Flex for Drivers and Irons Ninety miles per hour generally is a good benchmark for swing speed, but can make a difference in selection depending on if that number was determined by swinging a driver or iron. Ninety miles per hour with irons is in the upper range of swing speed. These go...
I'm 74 and still play Stiff shafts and play to a 9-10 (though they're in the middle of the Stiff spectrum---e.g. Project X Stiffs tend to be a little too stiff). I think my driver swing speed is in the middle to high 90's. But I think the main thing is how you swing, ...
stiff tip, soft mid section and mid firm butt end for feel, but alas I have found a mid everything always works best for my swing. Mid weight, mid flex, mid trajectory and mid spin. Kinda boring but at least I know what works best for my particular swing. Good luck in your search...
FreeFlex, on the other hand, claims that its shafts can be swung effectively regardless of the type of downswing transitions. From my own limited testing with three friends in this regard, I can say that FF did fare better than AF for hitters with a more aggressive swing. More specifically...
The present invention relates to methods for optimizing the flexibility of each shaft comprised in a set of golf clubs. In general, based on a golfer's estimated swing speed, skill level and/or other relevant factors, an appropriate category of golf club shafts is selected. Each category of ...
6. HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT SHAFT FLEX? Other than swing speed, there are several factors that might determine which shaft flex best suits your swing. Tempo, clubhead speed, ball speed, spin, and distance are all tracked during a PXG custom fitting to help your fitter find the best golf...
If your swing speed is 90 mph or higher, a stiff shaft or an x-stiff shaft should be a good fit. As Scott Hennessey, president of shaft manufacturer True Temper, told Golf.com, if your shafts are too flexible, "you'll spray the ball all over the place." ...
Went with Recoil 110 F5 (110g X-flex) and am seeing the following: Similar to slightly higher swing speed and ball speed (1-2mph) Spin dropped to 2500-2600 Carry dropped to 215-225 Launch angle <8 (I've seen many 4 degrees on solid strikes) Max height 50-60ft Well, let...
LIGHTER - Up to 20-30g lighter than conventional driver shafts to increase speed and decrease body strain. CONSISTENCY - The shaft automatically optimizes the transfer of energy despite different swing speeds. INCREASED DISTANCE - Increases head speed while providing stable swing posture for better di...
Starting at number three, I present the now-famous Autoflex shaft by Dumina. Introduced in early 2020 during the COVID epidemic, the small Korean company claimed that their shafts didn’t use any flex designations and are to be selected solely based on a golfer’s swing speed. Against conv...
