What is the difference between regular and stiff shafts?

Asked 2 years ago
The difference between regular and stiff shafts lies primarily in their flexibility and suitability for different types of golfers. Regular shafts are designed for players with slower swing speeds, generally under ninety miles per hour. These shafts provide more flex, allowing for greater launch and distance as they generate a higher trajectory while also helping players achieve better control over their shots. On the other hand, stiff shafts are intended for players with faster swing speeds, typically above ninety miles per hour. They offer less flex, which allows for greater accuracy and control during swings, resulting in a more stable ball flight. Players who generate more speed may benefit from a stiffer shaft, as it can help them maintain control, especially during high-impact shots. Choosing the right shaft ultimately depends on individual swing characteristics and preferences. Golfers can benefit from trying out both options to see which one enhances their performance on the course. It is a good idea to refer to the current web page for more details on shaft selection and how it can impact your game.
