Re: Why Different Flexes?

I was thinking of starting a new thread, then I came across this one.

I admit I know absolutely bugger all about the technology of golf clubs. If I'm changing clubs, I first go by how it feels, how it performs and then how it looks. That's as scientific as I get.

I was contemplating asking the community whether there was any information that I could learn to help my knowledge. However, based on the above post, it seems that no matter which company tells you whatever piece of information they're plugging at any given point, it really comes down to trying as many different clubs as you can and being lucky enough to stumble on the optimum set combining all the different elements that go together to make up "your perfect clubs".

In other words, it appears to me that the "scientific research" that the "leading manufacturers" tell us they've done is absolute bollox, a waste of time, effort and money and makes absolutely no difference to us in terms of helping us come to an informed decision about which weapons are best for us.

So, much like the golf swing, if it works, use it!??! If this is true, not only do we have many different combinations of techniques available to us to get the ball moving, we also have an almost infinite number of variables in the equipment we use as well, and have to pay £100's for the pleasure!

Am I way off base here with my cynical musings??!!
