Why the Right Golf Shaft Matters
The Role of Shafts in Performance
The shaft is often called the “engine” of the golf club. It influences ball flight, distance, and accuracy more than most players realise. Choosing the right shaft ensures your swing speed, tempo, and launch conditions are optimised.
Impact of Flex, Weight, and Torque
- Flex: Shafts come in regular, stiff, extra stiff, senior, and ladies’ flexes. The right flex ensures proper launch and control.
- Weight: Lighter shafts can increase swing speed, while heavier shafts often provide more stability.
- Torque: Refers to shaft twisting. Higher torque can feel softer and promote higher launch, while lower torque adds stability.
Shaft Fitting for Different Swing Speeds
- Slower swing speeds (under 85 mph): Benefit from lighter, more flexible shafts for extra distance.
- Moderate swing speeds (85-100 mph): Often best with regular or stiff shafts.
- Fast swing speeds (100+ mph): Typically suit stiff or extra stiff shafts for maximum control.
Getting the right shaft match for your swing can transform your performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right golf shaft flex?
It depends on your swing speed and tempo. Slower speeds usually need more flexible shafts, while faster swings require stiffer options.

Can I replace a driver shaft myself?
