I was just wondering if I should get a regular shaft or a stiff one if I have a swing speed of 100 mph. Thanks.

Sorry this is not going to help, but you're right in the middle of Regular/Stiff shaft and the only person who can answer this will be a qualified fitter. IMO, your driver shaft is much more important to get right than any other shaft, with your irons, playing too weak or stiff will have an impact, but not as much as your driver.

It could help if you could tell us what kind of shaft you were looking at. Some shafts will play very stiff, while others more whippy. What were you looking at getting?

i would automatically suggest a stiff shaft but i would advise going to a fitter, or even to your local course pro.

they will know in a few swings. cheers chris

Get fitted, if you can't be bothered get a S.

I hook the ball at my ss with a r, i can't imagine a 100 ss person to be able to control the whip of an R. Though i've heard that a really smooth swinger at high ss's can still use an R

    • 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.
