Unsure of which shaft flex or model to choose?
It's important to have correct flex for your swing to get maximum length and control. In the table below you can see which flex suits you according to how far you hit (Carry) or by swing speed:
DRIVER (Carry) | SWING SPEED | FLEX |
>165 m | Under 75 mph | Lady |
165-183 m | 75 till 85 mph | Senior |
183-219 m | 85 till 95 mph | Regular |
219-251 m | 95 till 110 mph | Stiff |
<251 m | Over 110 mph | X-Stiff |
Carry: Carry stands for the length of the balls trajectory . (excluding roll)
IRON 7 (Carry) | SWING SPEED | FLEX |
>91 m | Under 60 mph | Lady |
91-119 m | 60 till 70 mph | Senior |
119-142 m | 70 till 80 mph | Regular |
143-160 m | 80 till 90 mph | Stiff |
<160 m | Over 90 mph | X-Stiff |
TIP: Measure your length of strokes and swing speed on a Driving Range that has ProTracer. If you have a wrong idea of how far you hit, then you will be advised of wrong flex. |
If you have a slice, the reason may be that the shaft is too stiff and if hook too soft |
If you are unsure of which shaft model you should choose, we recommend choosing the Standard Model.
Weight
The weight of the shaft mainly affects the swing speed. If you want to increase the swing speed and hit longer strokes, you should choose a lighter shaft. If you want more control of the strokes, choose a slightly heavier shaft.
Trajectory
The right trajectory on the shaft gives you better opportunity to achieve the desired track. But the loft of the club has a more significant impact. Low trajectory usually gives less spin and high gives more spin.
Spin
Spin is connected to the shaft's trajectory: The higher trajectory the shaft has, the higher the spin.
Torque
Torque is a measure in degrees of how the resilient shaft is against lateral force. The higher the degrees, the more the shaft turns and the softer it feels. Torque is set in relation to the other characteristics of the shaft.
Kick point
The kick point (Kickpoint, Bend Point, Flexpoint) is the point where the shaft bends the most. Kick point is connected to trajectory; Low kick points give a higher trajectory and vice versa.
General shaft tips
Hit longer: | Lighter/Longer shaft |
Hit straighter: | Heavier/Shorter shaft |
Hit higher: | High trajectory |
Hit lower: | Low trajcectory |
