How about soft stepping a stiff or hard stepping a regular. That's always worked for me. Then your no longer a tweener

If you can't get the club back to square with the stiff you'll hit everything right. I played regular shafts last year and did balloon shots to the right or pulled way left. I went back to stiff shafts this year. If you're border line you may want to stay with regular.

Since there is no standard for flex, I agree with others in that you need to hit both and get what feels right to you.

Same problem, I'm borderline too. I'm sticking with regular for now because my tempo is pretty slow even though my swing speed is probably 93-95. I figure I'll go to stiff when I get up to 100 mph. Regular shafts just seem lighter and more powerful in my hands right now.

I generally think if you swing over 95mph consistantly you should probably go for a stiff shaft.

M dilema is much like yours..

I am also re shafting, and its almost not how fast you swing, but how you load the club. If you hold the club in a very upright angle for a long time in your swing, you require a different shaft than a "sweeping" swing.

For example, i swing around 95 on a good day, a little less on a bad one.
I went to golfsmith, and demo'd the V2 in both stiff, and reg, when i made a sweeping swing, it went about 240 with the regular flex, but when i tryed to hold the angle longer in my swing with the stiff, i was getting it out to about 265. and if anything, i swung slower with the stiff, so take that into account when you are deciding.

I ended up getting the stiff in my superquad, and will be ordering a 3 wood in Regular, since i am looking for more accuracy than raw distance/

Hope this helps,

Brian.

For what its worth any club I hit with a weak flex baloons and slices to the right.

I'll vote "yes" on that also.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
