A Golf shaft which is too stiff will cause a slice. This is because the shaft is too stiff for you to square the club face at impact. You can get custom fit to see which flex is best for you, as a shaft which is not fitted correctly can affect your game.

Golf club -60 grams graphite shaft vs 64 grams graphite shaft?

Personal preference really. If you are a high or low handicapper say 28- 3 you would hardly be able to tell the difference. Generally, the heavier the shaft, the stiffer it plays. The 60 gram would be whippier, so better suited to a player with a slower swing speed.


Can a golf shaft flex be changed by lengthening the shaft?

Well it can be, but only slightly, you wouldn't be able to make a stiff into a regular etc. If you shortened a club, the shaft would become stiffer, and if you lengthened a club the shaft would become more regular, but you only make a 1-2 inch change to the shaft. What it does do however is change the swing weight. A lengthened shaft make the head lighter, and a shortened shaft makes the head heavier. All pro players like to have the swing weight the same for all their clubs. Apparently Tiger Woods can tell the swing weight just by swinging the club.


What causes a hook when using a driver in golf?

An in to in swing, most likely closing the club face too quickly. You may be too quick in the transition, although if you are a good player - the shaft may be too weak and you need to go to a stiffer shaft.


What does regular flex mean in a golf club?

There is no exact science, the flex of shaft you need corresponds to your swing speed. The faster your swing the stiffer the flex you will need. The only way of really knowing for definite is to get on a launch monitor and try a variety of shafts in a variety of flexes, all manufacturers will have a different standard for how they define each flex, so just because you are a stiff in a Diamana doesn't necessarily mean you will be a stiff in an Aldila. Also, shafts come in a variety of weighs, a heavier shaft will play ever so slightly stiffer than a lighter one. One simple way of giving you an idea of if a shaft is right for you is analysing your shot patterns. If you constantly hook the ball then the shaft could be too flexible, i.e you need a stiffer shaft, if you constantly slice the ball, the shaft could be too stiff and you need a more flexible shaft, i.e a regular shaft. Graphite shafts also different tips on them, a soft tip helps promote of higher launch angle, where a stiffer tip promotes a lower one. Very simple stuff I know, but all shafts stick to the same sort of ideas, on a shaft you will see; manufacturer, model, flex, weight and tip flex, these all help you see what sort of shaft it is. I would recommend if you are a beginner to use regular shafts to start with and see how you get on. I do highly recommend that all golfers if getting new clubs hit as many as possible trying as many different lofts and flexes as they want, custom fitting is usually free and the shops are more than happy to help.

What are the Meanings of the different parts of a badminton racket?

Here are the parts with their 'use' (you asked about their 'meanings' but I guess you're referring to their 'use') GRIP: used to hold the racket SHAFT: connects the grip and the racket head (the stiffer the shaft, the faster the racket will hit the shuttle or unbend. This is effective if you have a powerful and fast stroke) THROAT (if present): connects the shaft and the head RACKET HEAD: This is the stringing area The shaft, plus the handle and the head are called The Frame.


How do you determine golf shaft stiffness?

It is imposible for me to tell you how stiff a shaft you should use because I don't know your swing speed. Golfers who swing the club at a faster speed in the downswing (faster swing peed) will require a stiffer, and possibly heavier shaft, whereas a golfer with a slower swing speed may need a more flexible and possibly lighter shaft. Depending on how serious you are about golf, you may want to get a club fitting. If you do this a golf professional will help you find the


What is the difference between a regular and stiff golf club?

The easiest way to describe it is that the regular shaft is more flexible than the stiff one. The stiffer the shaft the quicker the swing speed needs to be to get the best from it. Also, stiffer shafts allow the ball to be hit farther, which is an exciting prospect for many amateurs but if someone with a slower swing hits a stiff shaft they will always hit low blocks instead of a nice high straight shot which they could with a regular.

Can you bypass the cranksensor?

No. It tells the computer exactly the position of the crank shaft. So that the computer 'knows' exactly where and when to inject fuel and fire spark plugs. Without that crank shaft sensor your engine is D.O.A. Gone, are the good old days of the carburetor or mechanical injection and ignition.
