There are a number of options that you have. If your swing speed is less than 75 mph you should use a senior flex. However, if it is between 75 and 85 you should use a Regular. Some senior players with very slow swing speeds use ladies clubs with ladies flex, these clubs are very light and it is very easy to get the ball in the air. Finding a good loft and flex combination is vital to ensure you get the best from your game.
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.
There is actually very little difference between senior and ladies flex shafts. You will find that the senior flex shaft is slightly heavier. They are both aimed at golfers with slower swing speeds, to help them get the ball the air easier.
65 gram is lighter obviously than the 80 gram, therefore the lighter shaft helps generate more speed from the swing, which would maximise your distance from a given swing. The lighter shaft is also more flexible so a 65 g senior flex plays softer than an 80 g senior flex.
X flex means extra stiff. It is a flex for players with a swing speed of 105 mph or more. Most professionals would use this flex.
senior stick has a stiffer flex. senior flex is 75 - 115+. intermediate flex i think is like 77 down to 55. if your like 150+ and is like 5'5+ use a senior.
Yes because depending on your swing speed the shaft can be too flexed at impact which causes the face and shaft of ur driver to be open. A faster swing speed needs an x stiff shaft
Means the stiffness of the shaft. It is for slower swing speeds. However I tend to reverse that thinking. Rather than matching a shaft flex to benefit a swing speed I match shafts to prevent damage to a swing. Anyone can swing a stiff flex and suffer no real ill effects. The worst that can happen is that you are accurate and maybe a bit shorter (not much) However not everyone can use a whippy shaft flex. The balls will be sprayed all over the place. I bought a Driver on ebay that had an intermediate flex. I sprayed balls to the right and even got a slice back that I had not seen in years. After a few trips on the course it was enough of the intermediate flex. I removed it today and replaced it with a regular flex.
A stiff flex is the flex of the shaft usually for swing speeds between 90 and 105 mph.
Something labeled senior flex will probably be more flexible than regular. There is no real standardization among shaft makers, but typically they are ordered (from most to least flexible) L - Ladies A - Senior R - Regular S - Stiff X - eXtra stiff The rule of thumb is that slower swingers do better with more flexible shafts, because if timed right the flex can add some power and height to the shot. The "A" designation between Ladies and Regular flex doesn't stand for anything in particular. They couldn't use "S" for the Senior flex because it was already being used as the designation for "Stiff" flex. The abbreviation for Senior, "Sr.", could also be confused with a "Regular/Stiff" flex. So in an attempt to avoid confusion (or possibly add a little), the letter "A" was decided upon as the designation for the Senior flex shaft.
that is the perfect swing speed for the standard stiff shafted club. try the dynamic gold s300 shaft or the project x 5.5 or 6. the kbs tour stiff is good as well.
1. Not sure2. From Ebay buying guidehttp://pages.ebay.com/buy/guides/golf-clubs-buying-guide/Set flex vs. uniflexConsider shaft flex (the amount of bend in a shaft) when you shop. Beginners will want more flex than experienced golfersA: Geared toward seniors.Regular: Designed for average players with a 75 to 90mph swing speed.Stiff/ Firm/ Extra stiff: Designed for people with a swing speed between 90 to 110mph.Uniflex: Varying flex to fit most swing speeds.
