If I play shafts that are too weak I fight a hook. I'd love to be able to hit a draw, but that isn't my natural ball flight.

i just recently got a new 3 wood for this very reason. i was playing a Titleist 906F4 3wood with the ys-6 regular flex shaft and was hooking everything. bought a new Titleist 910F 3 wood with the project X 8c4 stiff shaft in it and played it yesterday for the first time. what a difference. i dont know why i waited 4 years to switch to something that worked so much better.

I'm sorry if this is off topic but I'd like to ask a question about shaft as well;

I'm currently using clubs that given from friend and they have different stiffness.

Regular for 4-6, Stiff for 7-P.

Is this bad?

I haven't noticed any issues....yet.

Thanks in advance.

I have a setup similar where my 5 wood is a regular and all my other clubs are stiff.  It keeps me from trying to kill the ball on a club I am not normally good at hitting (5 wood).  I would assume yours serves the same purpose you are not gonna go swinging as hard as you can on a less forgiving club (4-6 iron) because if you do the results will be very far off target.

Trying not to kill the ball is something I'm working on and not easy...

Few weeks back played great golf, I was -1 after 4 holes then got so excited and swung too hard on next Par 3.....finished with ugly triple

    • I usually like to fix the face, first, as the path is most often the compensation for the open face rather than the other way around. If you could get some good down-the-line and face-on video in slow motion, it'd go a long way toward helping. It's tough to see the face and I think the face-on view would show that you're not turning as much as you could/should.
    • Day 86 (26 Jul 25) - Down at the beach place, had kept the clubs with me after playing yesterday.  Spent time this afternoon checking them over and brushing grooves on the wedges and irons.  Spent a few minutes working thru the swing process…working in slo mo through backswing and proper weight shift.
    • . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score  
    • That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.
    • Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen.
