What Golf Shaft Impacts
Shaft flex impacts, either directly or indirectly, the accuracy, trajectory and distance of your shot. Three pretty important things, eh?
Once the shaft is installed, you must then determine the proper length. This is just as important as flex, torque or anything else to do with the shaft.
HOW TO DETERMINE LENGTH: To determine the length of your club, stand at attention and have someone measure from the crease where your wrist and hand meet to the floor. Do this with both hands and take an average.
If you measure:
• 29 to 32 inches, your irons such as
callaway diablo edge irons
should be based on a 5-iron of 37 inches
• 33-34 inches, your irons should be based on a 5-iron of 37 1/2 inches
• 35-36 inches, your irons should be based on a 5-iron of 38 inches
• 37-38 inches, your irons should be based on a 5-iron of 38 1/2 inches
• 39-40 inches, your irons should be based on a 5-iron of 39 inches
• 41 or more inches, your irons should be based on a 5-iron of 39 1/2 inches
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 to get the most out of the shot. If you have the wrong flex for your swing, there is less chance that you'll make contact with the ball with a square clubface.
But how can you tell what you need? Here are some general guidelines:
• Take a look at the distance you hit your driver. This is a good, but very general, indicator. If you carry you driver 250 yards or more, go with Stiff; 230-250 yards, Regular; 200-230 yards, Senior; less than 200 yards, Ladies. Only the biggest of the big hitters is going to need Extra Stiff. For most of us, Extra Stiff isn't even in the picture.
• If you have a very smooth swing, you might benefit from a softer flex even if you swing fast. A swing that gets jerky at the top - when transitioning into the downswing - will probably need a stiffer shaft.
• If your drives go left with

, you might benefit from a stiffer flex; if your drives go right, you might benefit from a softer flex.
If Your Flex Is Too Stiff
What effect does a too-stiff shaft have on your golf game?
1. The ball will probably fly lower and shorter for any given loft, compared to a properly fit shaft.
2. The ball may tend to go to the right, or fade side, for right-handed golfers because with a too-stiff shaft the clubface is harder to square (the clubface is more likely to be open at impact, in other words).
3. The shot may feel less solid, more like a mis-hit even if you make contact on the center of the clubface.
If Your Flex Isn't Stiff Enough
And what will happen if your flex isn't stiff enough?
1. The ball might fly higher for any given loft, compared to a properly fit shaft.
2. The ball may tend to go left, or to the draw side, for a right-handed golfer (because with a too-flexible shaft, the clubhead may tend to come into the ball closed).
3. Shots may tend to feel more solid, even when they aren't.
