If the shaft on a club is to flexiable for your swing will you slice the ball or hook it?

Sorry, but if your shafts are too flexible for your swing speed, it can cause you problems. But it depends on other mechanics of your swing whether it causes the ball to move left or right. Talk to a PGA pro.
You will hook it, because if you swing to fast for the shafts flex rating it will put too much of a load, or too much flex into the shaft and what happens is that the shaft will unload faster or release to quickly and the club head will beat you hands and body back to the ball, so the shaft will now be flexing the other way which means the clubhead will be closed or shut at impact, causing a slice. A shaft that is too stiff for you causes a slice because the opposite happens, and you can't put enough of a load on the shaft and it won't release fast enough so your hands and body beat the clubhead to the ball and when the club gets there it hasn't fully release enough so the clubface will be open causing a slice.

What is the F shaft for golf clubs?
The F shaft is popular with Cobra drivers. It is part of a set of 3 shafts, the X, F and M. The X (extreme ball speed), F (fast ball speed) and M (medium ball speed) shafts are designed to tailor your club to your swing, based on your ball speed and swing speed. The F shaft in particular is the middle ground of these three shafts.
Can you get more distance with a stiff shaft?
Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the way you swing. It is widely believed that a slow swinger would get more distance with a softer shaft. Flex only determines where the clubface is at impact. If you have a fast swing speed and a regular flex shaft, you will put too much load on that shaft and it will release or un-load too soon, so the clubhead will be closed or shut at impact causing you to hook it. A slower swing speed with a stiff shaft causes a slice because you are not able to put enough of a load into that shaft so it will not release fast enough, so when you get back to impact it hasn't released fully meaning the clubhead will be open. Shaft has nothing to do with distance, the ball you play and hitting it square will get you the distance.
How do the different weight in grams relate to a golf club shaft?
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.
How do get rid of your golf slice?
There are so many causes of a slice that it's impossible to say. The real slice is from hitting the ball with an open clubface. This is usually caused by hitting the ball before the clubhead has caught up with the hands, although a weak grip that hinders closing the clubface is also a major contributor. Hitting off the toe will also cause the ball to go in the slice direction. There are probably more cures than players. "Seek professional help" is the best answer, because the only way to figure out why you slice is to have someone who knows what to look for watch you swing. That being said, how can I resist offering my own advice? I find that if I swing smoothly, without trying to kill the ball with my arms, I am much less likely to slice. And I hit the ball a mile. The only way I can guarantee I won't slice, however, is to play a hole with all the trouble on the hook side. (This notice provided for the humor impaired: that was a joke.)
Can a Taylormade r7 driver with interchangable weights help correct a slice?
You are honestly better working on your swing, practicing your timing and squaring the club face through the impact zone. The r7 drivers with movable weight technology are aimed at a player who wants to be able to work the ball. If you slice the ball all the time, set the weights to draw, this is done by placing the two heaviest weights on the heel side. If you only occasionally slice the ball you may find when you do put a good swing on it you will hit a big snap hook, which was no fault of your own.
What is a senior flex shaft?
A senior flex shaft is a very flexible lightweight golf shaft which is ideal for senior golfers. They usually have a low kick point which is ideal to get the ball in the air with the slower swing speeds of a senior golfer.
If you swing and ball hits you is the ball live or dead?
If you swing and miss and the ball hits you, it is a strike and a live ball. If you swing and the bat makes contact with the ball and the ball hits you while you're in the batter's box, it is a foul ball and a dead ball.
What's the best device to help you with a slice on your golf swing?
First your stance must be lined up correctly and not too open. Your grip must also be tight or perhaps your club itsself is not solid on impact with the ball. Your position at t-off must also be perfect. If you are too close or standing too straight up you will tend to slice. If you do not correctly T the ball high enough then you will reach for it and slice as well. And lastly follow through with your shot. If you pull your head up early you will slice the ball.
