Choosing the right shaft flex is crucial for golfers of all skill levels. It can affect the accuracy, distance, and consistency of your shots. There are a few factors to consider when choosing a shaft flex, including your swing speed, tempo, and strength.
The flex of a shaft is determined by how much it bends during the swing. A stiffer shaft will bend less, while a more flexible shaft will bend more. The flex of the shaft should match your swing speed. If your swing speed is too slow for the shaft flex, the shaft will not bend enough and you will lose distance and accuracy. If your swing speed is too fast for the shaft flex, the shaft will bend too much and you will lose control of the club.
