There is nothing wrong with that flex, Its almost like its powering up. There is no driver in the world that wont flex at all when you swing it. It is supposed to flex like that. A Stiff would do that same.

Now if the shaft was about 2x that and forming a huge arch then you would consider going to stiff.

The real deciding factors for me were evident in the shot dispersion and balooning trajectories.

I stiffened my shafts from R100 and various regular flex graphites to the ones I hit now. No more balooning shots...consitent trajectories are the norm with my irons and left/right dispersion is much improved.

The shaft on my 3 wood is a bit whippy, in my opinion, to be classed as stiff. In contrast, my driver shaft is way too stiff and I struggle to get even to a mid trajectory.

I'd place a lot more credence in shot shape and dispersion than I would a photo of club lag.

    • Project Hail Mary - Eagle. Loved the book and the movie. Saw the movie twice in the theater. Disclosure Day - Birdie. Just saw it today. Acting is superb. 
    • Courses naming holes like Augusta and Shinnecock do is pretentious wanker bullshit
    • :sigh: LMGTFY: The normal range of motion for knee flexion is approximately 135 to 155 degrees, allowing for essential activities like walking and sitting. For knee extension, it typically ranges from 0 degrees to about 15 degrees of hyperextension in some individuals.
    • The course is playing tough. We’re only about 50 miles away. It very windy here and going to get worse. They’re all dressed like it’s the British Open!
    • Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.
