So today, I got my TaylorMade 3i Rescue/Hybrid back. The good news is that it was 100% free, thanks to my generous teammate. The "bad" news is that it has a regular flex shaft, whereas I use stiff. It didn't seem to hinder my performance today, but I have this question: How great is the difference between a stiff flex and a regular flex? My drives average 280-300, if that helps.

I swing pretty hard; doesn't make me good does it? A good friend of mine swings really hard and he easily outdrives me, yet shoots in the mid-high 50s every time.

Well, when I hit it straight, it goes 280-300. I'm just saying I swing that hard, but anyway, can someone answer my question, "How great is the difference between a stiff flex and a regular flex?"

The way I have been told is regular shaft will make your drives longer. Where stiff will be more accurate.
In the Bag:

Hmm, never thought about that. For the time being, I'll keep the shaft, but come next year maybe I'll get a new one. If it works for me, why not keep it?

Have you ever had your swing speed measured? If your swing speed it fast enough, you may want to try X-Stiff shafts, a Regular shaft might make you snap hook the heck out of the ball, unless you have a very, very, very smooth tempo.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
