I changed my driver shaft to regular from stiff due to what I found out at a golf shop reading.

However I have not changed my 3 and 5 wood and 3 and 4 hybrid from stiff to regular.

Should there be any ill affects of not changing the above from stiff to regular or would it be Ok to stay with the stiff in the 3 and 5 wood and the 3 and 4 hybrid.

Probably not. A lot of people play different brands of golf clubs. There is no standard to flex. So you can have someone play an STIFF driver shaft at 60 grams. Then you go to a 3-wood from a different company, they have their own golf shaft. Lets say 70 grams. You can have that say regular and it might actually be a stiffer flex because it is shorter and weights more than the driver shaft.

So really, unless you are seeing any adverse effects on the course, then the answer is probably not. There is no general right or wrong answer to this, it all depends on your own golf swing.

    • Hey Sam, good to see you. 🙂 
    • Have you tried hanging?  Find a pull up bar or whatever.  Grab it with both hands and hang without your feet touching the floor.  I had bad issues over last winter and a friend suggested it.  It was like is decompresses everything in my spine and I have been fine ever since.
    • Believe it or Not! I am so excited.  Yesterday, on a hot and windy day, I played a 9 hole course in Claflin. Kansas. 1st 9 = 54 2nd 9 = 43   I am going to try and go back out late this afternoon and play 18 holes at Hays, Kansas.  My 3 hybrid came in yesterday and I am really anxious to try it out.  WooHoo 🥳 🙌 👏  Retired Old Man, Terry 
    • Late morning, short gym session for press.  Four sets of five, 105 lbs.  
    • Looking forward to reading and contributing to some of the great discussions here. I've "played" for a few years, but very much feel like I'm in the beginner/new to golf stage. I'm wanting to set some attainable goals for this year, and hopefully share some of it here along the way. Thanks for reading!
