The importance of a golf club’s shaft cannot be understated. Even the slightest differences in how a shaft is built can have undue influence on a swing. For example, a shaft that is too stiff can minimize ball height in its arc, which is detrimental to distance. However, a shaft that has too much flex can have just as much of a detrimental impact on a player’s performance.
When a driver shaft has too much flex, the following can occur.
This information about shaft stiffness or flex must be taken contextually. A shaft that has too much flex for you as a player may be just right for another player, or vice versa. This is because factors such as swing speed and focus on distance play into a shaft’s performance. There is no one shaft that can change your performance: it’s rather a give-and-take between your swing style and the shaft. The two should work together, which is why it’s paramount to have a custom shaft made for your specifications and your performance goals.

We know that no two players are the same, and no two shafts should be the same, either. When a player has a shaft custom made for their goals, swing speed, and preferences, they can see a significant ROI within their performance.
