I have question for someone more knowledgable than me in golf equipment:
if someone buys irons and the 2 options are R and S...what would be the problem if you bought the Stiff and should have got Regular and vice versa, what would this problem cause?

Just wondering as I am going to look at the TM RAC OS2 tomorrow and was just wondering.

Not a pro but the regular (r) is for swing speeds under 90 (s) over 95.
if you swing a (r) too fast the flex in the shaft will not be square at impact and end up spraying the ball. swing the (s) too slow and you have no flex in the shaft = lost distance and act like punch shots. I'm sure someone can explain it better but thats the basics.

Indian_Sensation,

A very general rule of thumb is that, for a righty, a shaft that is too weak for you will go high and left. A Shaft that is too stiff for you will go low and right. Also, shafts that are too stiff tend to go lower than optimal trajectory with little spin dropping out of the air, while shafts that are too weak tend to go too high and balloon. Those are very general guidelines. Often times, better players can sense these shots coming and create the opposite ones. If you're new to golf, get fit by someone who knows what they're doing.
