Does shaft flex make that much difference in consistency?
Absolutely! We have found in fitting over 5,000 golfers that shaft flex is the most important factor in creating a very tight shot dispersion. If your shafts are too soft, your shots will be left and right of target, sometimes long and short, and very inconsistent in ball flight. If your shafts are too stiff for you, you will see lower ball flight, loss of distance, and shots that are consistently right of target, for a right handed golfer. With 13 clubs in your bag, the chance of each club having the same flex is pretty slim. The shaft flex also affects the lie angle of the club at impact. Soft shafts will give you a false reading that you need your clubs bent more upright due to the toe droop of the club at impact. The exact flex of the club is so important that you will see a significant change in shot dispersion if your shafts are off as little as two tenths of a flex from your optimum. By testing your swing on the True Temper Shaft Lab, we can determine your exact flex down to the
