| For those that actually know this, shaft stiffness is not based solely on your swing speed.
It is also based on how you load the shaft, your tempo etc. Swing speed alone does not always dictate what shaft you need.
I personally know a guy who does not swing faster than 95 MPH, yet he uses a stiff shaft simply because his swing tempo on the downswing is violent as he calls it  He prefers the stiffer shaft, and it works as he hits the ball a lot straighter.
So do no base your shaft flex just on swing speed. You need to get away from that concept, hit different drivers with different shafts until you find one you hit straight, or draw or fade, whichever shot pattern you prefer. Do this testing outdoors where you see the actual flight of the ball from start to finish. |
