  • I don't buy any of this flex horsehockey. The stiffer the flex, the more accuracy. You want some extra pop? Learn to get that snap from your release. I prefer to be in the short grass every time I tee off. Having a whippy shaft messes with consistency which can cause errant shots and off center hits. I made two drivers, both spine aligned. Same heads, same shafts, but one was X and the other S. I kept the X. I lost about 1/2 club in distance if that but gained incredible consistency.

  • A shaft doesn't whip into the ball to create distance. If the shaft at address has it's logo at 12 oclock. At the top of the swing that logo is pointing down or loading position in your world. So that means it will unload toward 6 oclock at the bottom of the swing, which is flipping at you. Please study what happens.

  • lol @ his story about the S stickers. funny thing it was him who was doing it.

  • Very Great Video, just the information I needed!

  • do to an injury I sustain to my left hand's knuckle (I am left handed)I have trouble using an interlock or overlap grip.The ten finger seems to be the only comfortable one.I have tried small grip but ended up with blisters from the bottom of the grip being to small in circumference.I know the ten finger is not optimal,what can you suggest?

    Thanks

  • @JAKEHARRIS281 if they could perfect that draw then in essence yes, but it would be nearly impossible to repeat it and your dispersion with the regular will be more out of control than with a stiffer shaft

  • If someone swings 100-115 mph I know they need a stiff or X stiff shaft but if this person used a regular flex shaft to hit a draw would this produce more distance than a stiff?
