Best Answer

The weight of the shaft is usually directly proportional to swing speed. The faster and harder you swing the heavier of a shaft one typically has. This is untrue sometimes because the player may want to swing a very light shaft in order to be able to swing faster and therefore hit the ball further.

A heavier shaft will also typically result in more accuracy and less distance because it causes the swing speed to slow down.

The ultimate goal when picking the correct shaft weight is that you find the weight that gives you the best distance without losing accuracy.
