Which is more accurate, a stiff or Regular shaft?
Which is more accurate, a stiff or Regular shaft?
The idea that stiffer shafts are more accurate is busted. Our testing actually showed the opposite: the regular flex shaft was the most accurate of the group. When we look at the individuals, we see that accuracy is a matter of fit. Some players were most accurate with regular flex, others with stiff,…
Is the shaft flex in golf a myth?
When we look at the individuals, we see that accuracy is a matter of fit. Some players were most accurate with regular flex, others with stiff, and some with x-stiff. This myth is a personal “favorite” of mine, having heard it from countless golfers when I worked retail. I am happy to say that it’s busted.
Which is better a flex shaft or Regular shaft?
Players 2 and 3 provide a great example: they both fit best into a regular flex shaft but their swing speeds are 20 MPH different! There are numerous reasons why this is true. First, flex is only one variable in fitting. Shafts can have the same flex but different weight, bend profile, or torque.
Is there a correlation between swing speed and shaft flex?
When hitting the most flexible shafts, our testers were either very accurate or prone to hooking the ball. The only substantial right-sided miss in our whole test group came with a stiff flex shaft. One of the most interesting and surprising findings is that there is not a direct correlation between swing speed and shaft flex .
What happens when your golf shaft is not right?
Misses off the Top of the ClubFace: Too steep of swing (negative attack angle) or way too soft of butt section or tip section causing toe droop at impact. Misses mostly low: Too much positive attack angle (swinging up on the ball with tee height too low) or shaft butt section and tip section are too stiff.
Why is a CV axle called a half shaft?
A constant velocity (CV) axle, also called a “half shaft,” is an important part of your vehicle’s drivetrain. It’s responsible for transferring the power from your transmission to your wheels. Because the CV axle is constantly rotating and flexing to accommodate different road conditions,…
Can you get better distance with a heavier shaft?
You can’t get more consistent or more accurate simply by getting a heavier, stiffer shaft. When we looked at distance consistency, the results were a perfect bell curve: most were best with the middle weight and an equal number were best with the light and the heavy shaft.
Which is more accurate, a heavier shaft or stiffer shaft?
Myth #5 – Heavier, stiffer shafts are more accurate and consistent How We Tested For this test, we brought together seven testers with swing speeds ranging from around 70 MPH to over 110 MPH. Each player hit seven drives each with five different Nippon Regio MBshafts: stiff flex at 55, 65, and 75 grams, and 65 grams in regular, stiff, and x-flex.
