I'm 63. I was using a 12 degree driver with a senior flex shaft. The ball ballooned to much and I had too much dispersion. I have changed the shaft to a slightly heavier shaft in stiff flex and gotten much better results.
-
I just saw an instructional video that showed a guy hitting 10 shots with a lighter shaft and displaying more clubhead speed (naturally) but LESS ball speed. Why? Because he was not hitting the center of the clubface consistently. Clubhead speed is of no use if it does not translate into ball speed. My personal view.
-
In my experience the major effect of shaft weight is in your consistency hitting the center of the clubface In my opinion this should be your first priority. If you consistently hit the center of the clubface you'll get all the distance you need. Some people do better with heavier shafts some people do better with lighter shafts.
-
This is just my opinion based on what has worked for me. I am 63 years old mid handicapper but I'm hitting my driver better than ever because I made a serious effort to improve my technique. With a good technique you'll get a lot more distance than with any equipment change you could come up with.

White Belts for Golf
arturo28mx replied to boogielicious's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
To wear a white belt you must follow the "36" rule: if your waist is larger than 36 or if your age is greater than 36 do not wear a white belt. I read this someplace. -
Start with short back swings, your left arm just parallel to the ground. Then work your way up from there as you feel more confident.

Gorilla Epoxy. It's not golf epoxy but a lot of people use it, including myself, with no problems

Regripping: Clamp and Proper Grip Removal Technique
arturo28mx replied to xrayvizhen's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
The best thing I've ever done is learn to regrip my own clubs. Totally agree with Iacas. -
Turn your hips until you raise your left heel, as Nicklaus, Palmer and Watson did. Works for me.

Upright Lie at Impact - Looking for Advice
arturo28mx replied to Allshanks's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Posture has a lot to do with lie angle. Narrower stance vs more open stance. Knees more flexed or less flexed. Torso more upright or less upright. For a long time I thought I needed more upright clubs until an instructor fixed my posture and now I can play with standard lie angles. -
