ARE YOU PLAYING WITH THE PROPER SHAFT FLEX

By: clubmaker

ARE YOU PLAYING THE PROPER SHAFT FLEX!

WHAT PLAYING WITH THE PROPER SHAFT FLEX WILL DO FOR YOUR GAME

If you want to avoid giving your game the shaft, you need to understand the effect that shaft flex has on your game. "Flex" refers to the ability of a golf shaft to bend as forces are applied to it during theperfect golf swing. Those forces are generated by the type of swing that you have -fast or slow, smooth or jerky. In our case of assembly also applied to this formula is the process of the Swingweighting & Balancing, which helps to assure that you have a repeatable and consistent swing that allows for more sweet spot contact as well as maximum shaft flex. The club which is an extension of your arms is guided thru the swing process and then by the way it has been assembled properly to your Personal Measurements and Playing Abilities will do all of the work for you properly, each and everytime and with each and every club.

There are five basic levels for shaft flex:
� Extra Stiff
� Stiff
� Regular
� Senior
� Ladies

To avoid having to carry double the amount of shafts, clubmakers carry what is called combination flex shafts, which means that the tip needs to be trimmed properly to get the proper flex for that particular shaft. They arrive as A/L Flex and R/S Flex. So it is then the Clubmaker that makes the shaft perform to it's proper flex by trimming it properly as stated by the shaft manufacturer. Having a flex that doesn't match the needs of your swing will result in the clubface coming into impact off alignment and either open or closed, causing your shots to go off-target, and most of all causing the loss of distance and trajectory. While causing you to have to swing harder or softer then you should be if you are swinging with the proper amount of swingspeed which is 80% of your maximum power. Thats 80% of your max while still being able to stay in a solid swing foundation. Shaft flex impacts, either directly or indirectly, the accuracy, trajectory and distance of your shot. Three pretty important things, with the missing key element being the ability to utilize the " Effortless Swing " which helps assure that you stay in a solid swing foundation throughout the entire rotation of your swing! As the shaft flexes throughout the swing, the position of the clubhead changes. And the face of the club must be square (perfectly straight) at impact. If you have clubs with a shaft flex that is not stiff enough, the clubhead will be tend to be closed at impact, sending the ball out to the left (for right-handed players). If the flex of your clubs is too stiff, the clubface will tend to be open, sending the ball out to the right. As well as have the main factors that are found alot more which are listed above in the loss of trajectory and distance. You can play good golf with clubs that are to stiff, but with the proper flex, you will play better, longer golf with less effort, which makes for a nicer outing, and less aches and pains after returning home.

QUESTIONS TO LOOK AT TO HELP NARROW IN ON THE PROPER FLEX

The degree of flex in your club shafts is something you control. You can choose to buy stiffer shafts, or softer shafts, depending on your needs or what you think your needs are, which mostly is inaccurate. As the 2 biggest problems Golfer's face today is playing with clubs that are not the proper playing length, or are not the proper flex for their ability. This only makes trying to lower golf scores all that much harder. But how can you tell what you need?

Here are some general guidelines:
-Take a look at which club it is that you use to carry the ball 150 yards in the air, with a smooth,fluent even tempoed swing. Also that you hit the most consistent without feeling as if you are swinging out of your shoes, a nice 80% power solid foundation swing. If you come up with a 4 or 5 iron, then you would benefit from an A Flex, or a firm A soft R Flex,(in between flex tipr trim), if you use a 6 or 7 iron then you are looking at a R Flex, 8, 9 or PW would say S Flex, but as a rule of thumb if you are an 8 iron or an 8 some times but mostly a 7 then R Flex is the way to go. Only if you truly are hitting a 9 iron or PW for 150 yards should S Flex be a thought. The biggest killer of trajectory and Distance is playing with to Stiff a Flex. Just think of a Diving Board, to stiff no height ,no distance, spring board, alot more height and distance. This is the method we have used and quite effectively if you read our 250+ Reviews, since the Swingweighting & Balancing that we perform also comes into play. Which when all is said and done enables you to take a much easier and controlled swing which will result in more accuracy and distance with alot less effort, " The Effortless Swing ".
-Most Men think just because they are big they need to hit Stiff shafts. It's a guy thing. Unfortunately, it's not always the smart thing or what is best for the way your equipment should be set up properly. No macho man wants to be seen hitting a wimpy little Regular flex club, or, TigerWoods forbid, a Senior or Ladies flex.
-But overswinging is a common problem among male high-handicappers. Choosing a softer flex often has the effect of forcing macho men to slow down their swings. And slowing down the swing often makes those macho men into better players.

The Foolproof Way to Choose Flex

A club fitting with a Golf Club Maker Professional who has recommended the way to choose the proper flex, from the questions he will ask. When you find a flex that is proper for your ability it will produce a much higher ball flight, longer distances and better accuracy all with less effort. Then you have the proper flex that's the right flex for you. Coupled with Swing weighting & Balancing that is only icing on the cake.
