Shaft advice

[zeusbrown]

Hi all,

Got a beginner-intermediate set of clubs and I've been playing with them for about 3 months now. My swing is getting pretty constant but I tend to fade my driver BIG time. The other woods have very little fade. I can feel my swing speed has increased from 80mph to about 90mph. Could part of my problem with my driver be the shaft. It is a regular flex shaft. Would it help to go and spend some cash and upgrade it to a stiffer shaft?

Thanx

Hi all,

You are actually in the regular flex range with your swing speed. The way that you load your driver has just as much to do with flex as swing speed does. One thing to check is....see if your driver might have an open face. Take it to a clubmaker and have him measure the face angle for ya. One other thing.....I've seen some graphite shafts that are marked r flex, actually play one flex stiffer and vice versa, due to the alignment of the spine.
