Shaft Question

[DrJeffDC]

One question for all of you:

When I got fitted for my driver last summer, the guy in Golf Galaxy told me a stiff shaft would be best for me due to swing speed, which I don't remember the exact number-but it was in the stiff range).

I had always played a regular shaft on my driver, because that's what my irons were (ignorant-huh?).

Now to the question:

Does it make sense to drop down in shaft stiffness when going from driver to 3W or 5W??

Bonus Question: What about mid torques, soft tip, firm tip, etc......

You should go to a "Club Fitter" not store and ask them to find your Ideal CPM and match all your clubs. Try to get similar swingweights where you can too. You don't want a whole lot of flex/weight change through your set because you cant get a Grooved swing when every club requires a different one

Shaft flexes vary between manufacturers, one companies stiff may be on the high end of anothers regular, or a regular on the low end of another companies stiff. I personally play stiff graphite in my driver & 3 wood, regular graphite in my hybrid, and regular steel in my irons. I tried all my clubs with other flex shafts, and these felt and performed the best. It may not be what some experts recomend, but it works for me.

If your driver is still, Your 3w and 5w most likey should be too.. But yea, go to a Club Fitter.
