| Re: Shaft Stiffness Get your swingspeed checked. If you have too much flex on your shaft for your swingspeed then your clubface will be open when you connect with the ball causing you to slice. On the opposite end of the scale, if your shaft is too stiff the clubface has the tendency to be closed when it contacts the ball causing you to hook. When you have the right stiffness of shaft for your swingspeed then the shaft is straightened when you connect with the ball(not bent forward or backward) and your ball will go straight.
Here's a swing speed conversion chart I found online that might help you with your choice of flex. Keep in mind, however, that every shaftmaker is slightly different. Regular flex in one make of shaft might be the same as a stiff flex in another make shaft. LADIES FLEXDriver speed swing less than 60 mph (100 km/h). Driver carry distance less than 180 yds. Club used from 150 yds. a 3 iron or wood.SENIOR or A FLEXDriver speed swing 60-75 mph (100-120 km/h). Driver carry distance 180-210 yds. Club used from 150yds. a 4 iron.REGULAR FLEXDriver speed swing 75-84 mph (120-135 km/h). Driver carry distance 210-240 yds. Club used from 150 yds. a 5 or 6 iron.STIFF FLEXDriver speed swing 84-93 mph (130-150 km/h). Driver carry distance 240-260 yds. Club used from 150 yds. a 6 or 7 iron.X-STIFF FLEXDriver speed swing over 93 mph (150 km/h). Driver carry distance 260+ yds. Club used from 150 yds. a 8 or 9 iron
Hope this helps.
