What's the difference between stiff shaft and regular shaft

2016/7/20 14:28:30

Many customers come to my shop www.golfwholesaleshop.com to buy golf clubs then some people is puzzled that which shaft should they choose.Or wondering what shaft has less flex grafalloy(stiff) or graphite(x-stiff)?

For example we have Nike CCI Irons set with stiff shaft and regular shaft.Which one would you choose.

Today we will have a discussion about What's the difference between stiff shaft and regular shaft.
Speaker A:
The difference between the two is how much the shaft will flex when you swing it.Hit both shafts, and see which one gives you what you want - theoretically one will give you distance at the expense of control, and the other may give you the opposite.It's largely dependent on your swing speed.Try them both! Then you'll know.
Speaker B:
you can either go to a proshop that test your swing speed, they will be able to tell you which shaft will be better for your swing speed. But I myself would try both and see which one is better for you. I use regular flex on my irons and stiff on my driver. But have started to notice with my long irons I am getting a bigger draw, So I may have to go stiff on my irons aswell.
Speaker C:
So what's the main difference? Do you lose distance but gain accuracy with a stiff shaft, or is it the other way round? And is a stiff shaft more suited to a slower swing speed?
Speaker D:
The best thing to do is try the driver (s) you want in both stiff and reg, and then the people in the shop would be able to tell you if you need stiff or reg!


It is not diffecult to find.The main difference between regular and stiff is the amount of flex.And generally speaking (especially if you're between flexes) you'll lose some distance (~ 5 yards) but gain accuracy going stiff.Ccontrary to popular belief, the slower you swing, the need for flex is GREATER. That's why the 'senior' flex and 'ladies' flex are for, well, seniors and ladies - those that swing slower.

I'll reiterate, hit both. Mr. Change suggested getting your swing speed clocked - it's a great idea, and a wonderful starting point. But nothing can replace hitting the same club in 2 different flexes and watching the ball flight.One thing - ask the guy to put tape over the flex, so that you can hit them anonymously.People do strange, strange things when hitting clubs they 'know' the flex on.
