Custom Fitting - Shaft Flex

Choosing the right shaft flex is one of the most important aspects of club fitting. Since the shaft flex can affect distance, ball flight, trajectory and feel, this portion of the fitting process is very important.

Fitting shaft flex is not as simple as recalculating clubhead speed. There exists a relationship between clubhead speed and swing tempo. Two players with identical clubhead speeds might require different shaft flexes.

A shaft that is too strong (stiff) will send the ball trajectory lower right or left.

A shaft that is too weak (flexible) will send the ball trajectory higher right or left.
