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

    • With the hot weather……I’ll take a Gatorade please.
    • 60 minutes on the local school playing fields,trying to discover my former grip,I found it and used a lob wedge with which I was able to group 3 balls pretty near together,very happy to have found my old grip and its give me a lot more confidence so I can go have a round of golf with my brother and his step sons,I have not stepped on a course for 20 years,still I can hit my old yardages and that's great as I'm now 62...everybody have a great day
    • I have this issue as well. I play in a bi-weekly league and I generally work on my drills and feels as I'm playing in the league...lol. But to be honest, they really do not affect me in a bad way too much. If anything, my irons are actually more crisp.  The issue comes in when I transition to the woods....so I try to find a happy medium there for the time being. But as far as bad shots go, they are no worse than they were before worrying about drills and what not.  Just speaking for my experience, obviously. 
    • Another good episode. I below its a skill to be able to find a functional swing between where you were and where you want to be. I am guilty of trying to do too much on the course instead of just playing.  The goal is to play golf better. Not turn a round of golf into a practice session.
    • SUMMER HAS ARRIVED!!! Just in time for this golf outing.
