How do you determine what kind of flex you need in a golf club?

Question

I am buying a 4-wood to get rid of my 3 and 5 woods. I just need to know how to determine what flex is best for my swing.

Answer 1

Go to the pro shop and get a custom fit to the club.  An easy indicator is how strong you are in your upper body.  If you have a strong upper body, then you want a stiffer shaft flex.

Answer 5

It's pretty easy. You go to any good golf shop and tell them what you're looking for and that you have no idea what shaft to buy. They will have you hit some balls on a launch monitor find what's best for you. Any other method in completely unreliable.

Answer 6

Below is a complete chart for selecting a shaft for a golf club.

Hope this answers your question.

Carry Distance             Swing Speed       Flex

            

Under 180 yards             Under 75 mph        Ladies

180 to 200 yards   75 to 90 mph          Amatuer / Senior

200 to 240 yards            90 to 100 mph         Regular

240 o 275 yards            100 to 110 mph       Stiff

Over 275 yards                      Over 110 mph         Tour (extra) Stiff

Answer 7

if you are a moderate player 98 to 120, use a stiff shaft with a slow swing speed, if you are under control and playing below the hundreds, get a flex because the grip end of the club tend to produce lower launching, lower spinning shots. Flex points nearer to the club head tend to produce higher launching, higher spinning shots.   More spin more distance, but wild draws and hooks...

Answer 8

demo the club with different shafts and then have a professional right there with you to help you determine. you don't want something too snappy or too stiff. it pretty much based on your swing speed.

golf is not g*y!

Answer 9

Ask the pro at your local sports or golf store.  It all depends on the speed of your swing.
