Using a golf set with the right club shaft selection will help you tremendously in improving your golf handicap. Here is a quick set of thumbrules to use for determining the right club shaft.
- THUMBRULE #1: GREATER DISTANCE you hit the ball with a given club (and HIGHER CLUB HEAD SPEED) – the STIFFER the shaft you need
- THUMBRULE #2: The HIGHER THE BALL trajectory for a given club (that you can hit) – the STIFFER the shaft you need
- THUMBRULE #3: The HIGHER THE IRON you need to hit 150 yards - the STIFFER the shaft you need
- THUMBRULE #4: The FASTER SWING TEMPO (with FASTER TRANSITION at the top of swing) - the STIFFER shaft you need
- THUMBRULE #5: The LOWER HANDICAP you have - the STIFFER shaft you need
- THUMBRULE #6: The HEAVIER CLUBS are - the STIFFER the shaft should be
- THUMBRULE #7: The STIFFER your shaft is - the MORE CONTROL, CONSISTENCY & ACCURACY yoy will get
Waggle a club in front of you. If you can you feel the weight of the club head responding, then that flex should suit you.
When in doubt DON'T forget to consult a professional!
