Shaft flex guide
What Shaft Flex Should a Beginner Golfer Use?
A beginner-friendly explanation of shaft flex choice.
Quick Answer
Many beginners should start with a smoother, easier-flex option unless they have fast swing speed or a strong transition. Flex should match tempo and consistency, not ego.
How to decide
- Use R flex for smoother moderate swings.
- Use SR when between regular and stiff.
- Use S only when speed and transition justify it.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Choosing stiff because it sounds advanced.
- Ignoring tempo.
- Assuming flex fixes swing mechanics.
