I hope I have this right. "L" = ladies, "A"= senior "R"= regular "S"= stiff "X"= extra stiff.

I have 3 older sets of clubs. I think they date back to the 80's & 90's. On older clubs are codes different? They kind of seem that way by looking at the ones I have.

Wilson 1200 LT= They say Standard flex and they also have 02F on the sticker. Does Standard flex = "R" regular shaft?

And can anyone tell me what the LT stands for on these clubs?

King Snake= They have a "S" inside a square. Does this = standard or stiff?

Macgregor tourney's= They say Medium and they have a 2 inside a circle. Would this = a Senior flex?

Thank you.

The codes could be the same, but there's no real industry standard that defines "stiff," "regular," etc. It can vary company to company, shaft model to shaft model.

The S is stiff.  I can't really see the other ones very well.

I think that "Medium" would likely be the same as regular.

As @jamo said, the labeled flex is pretty varied from brand to brand. Plus, what you need is more dependent on how you load the shaft, not necessarily how fast you swing.

      That is a 9.8 differential if my calculations are correct. That would be an exceptional score if it is 7.0 less than your handicap index. Congrats

      I believe that @billchao has suggested that I fall into this category.  .... Although technically I believe he referred to me as an "ass-clown". ... Which at the time seemed like a compliment. 🤷‍♂️

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By ChetlovesMer · Posted

      LIV golf actually got 2 pages in this month's GOLF magazine. It was kind of interesting. The magazine walked a thin line between bagging on the shortcomings and trying to build it up.  The magazine's main point seemed to be that the managers play a critical roll for each team in LIV. They compared it to baseball managers. To which I though "hmm.... ???"

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By ChetlovesMer · Posted

      Of course. I was just exaggerating for fun.  At the start of Hogan's era it is estimated that roughly half a million Americans played golf. By the end of his era, about 3.5 million.  During Tiger's era roughly 19 million at the start and nearly 30 million by the end of it.  To look at it another way during Hogan's era less than 0.5% of all high schools had a golf team. Compared to nearly half of all high schools during Tiger's era. If you really want to see a big difference more than 25 times as many Junior High Schools had golf teams during Tiger's era than did High Schools during Hogan's era.  And this says nothing of international competition. Up until 1974 the British used a different golf ball than did the Americans. It wasn't until 1990 that the Brits officially outlawed their "small ball". It wasn't until the 1960's that Americans really started to play in Europe at all. Very few Americans played The Open from the 1930's until the 1960's. The travel sucked and the prize money wasn't worth the trip. Remember air travel to Europe wasn't really a thing until at least the mid-1950's. Before that you would spend 2 weeks at sea.  It is simply not arguable that Hogan faced any where near as stiff of competition as did Tiger. In golf, yes, you play against the course, but the lowest score wins. It's much easier to win if far FAR fewer players are playing.  Personally, I'd suggest that the competition was way better vs Tiger than vs Jack. But at least that's a discussion. I'm sorry but arguing for Hogan's era it's no contest. Tiger definitively and definitely and by every measure faced tougher competition than did Hogan.
