Today I found out I lost my SW (probably yesterday at the last hole). Since nobody returned it to the clubhouse I guess I'm in the market for a new SW
I'm very much interested in the Titleist Vokey SM60.14
Because I can't stand steel shafts (sorry, nobody's perfect ) I want one with a graphite shaft. Looking at the custom options I think the Aldila VS Proto-T 75 is the right one for me. However, when you look at their website you can choose between 3 flexes: A, R and S. Does anyone know the what the difference is between these flexes?

Thanks in advance,

KN

Not sure what the "A" flex means. r-regular,s-stiff
I think you might want to go a bit heavier though in your shaft. 75g is pretty light for a wedge

A flex is generally Amateur (if I'm not mistaken it's the exact same thing as Senior flex some manufacturers offer)

Thanks for the info guys

Yeah, I know, but I really like light clubs. My gap wedge is a CG12 with a steel true temper shaft I it's too heavy and too stiff for me. I'll probably going to replace the shaft with a graphite one 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.
