The speed of a golfer's swing dictates the force generated and the obtainable distance. However, a major factor that allows the club head to square at impact and allow for a straight shot or calculated draw or fade is the flex of the shaft. Golfers using an incorrect flex can experience frustrating hooks or slices and uncontrollable low or high trajectory shots. Once you match the appropriate shaft flex to your specific swing speed, you can maximize the performance of your clubs.
Measure the speed of your swing using the speed detector. Numerous golf teachers and golf outlet stores with in-house practice nets offer this service.
Hit at least 10 shots and determine the average speed of all the swings.
Consult a conversion chart, which will indicate the ideal shaft flex for your swing speed.
These are some suggested conversions:
85 mph or less -- amateur (A) flex
80-95 mph -- regular (R) flex
90-105 mph -- stiff (S) flex
105 mph and above -- extra stiff (X) flex
