The flex of a club refers to how much the shaft bends during your swing. It affects how much energy is transferred from your swing to the ball, influencing distance, accuracy and trajectory. The faster you swing a golf club the firmer or "stiffer" you need your flex to be.

Choosing the right shaft depends on swing speed and tempo. Golfers with faster swings need a stiffer shaft and slower needing a softer shaft. If you're unsure on what you need, you can get fit by a professional, work it out from your distances or simply drop one of our team a message and we'll help guide you to the flex you need.

The flexible shafts allow the clubhead to accelerate more through impact.This helps golfers hit the ball higher and further even when the swing isn't fast. They are typically also shorter than men's flex clubs so can be ideal for ladies or juniors transitioning between junior clubs to men's clubs.

It's generally better to keep all of your clubs the same flex to maintain consistency and performance. Mixing ladies clubs with stiffer or heavier shafts can make your swing feel inconsistent and reduce accuracy.

No they're not. Despite the name, ladies flex shafts are not limited to women. The correct shaft flex matters on your swing speed not your gender. Some men, juniors and senior golfers could benefit from using a ladies flex shaft if they're looking to add some height and distance to their drives.

Not at all, the same way that some men may benefit to the lighter shafts ladies flex provide, faster swinging ladies will benefit more from using a men's senior/regular or stiff flex shaft. It's all to do with swing speed, not gender.

Absolutely. Ladies flex hybrids are very forgiving, thanks to a combination of softer shaft flex, high lofts and low centres of gravity. These features make it easier to get the ball airborne and reduce the impact of off centre strikes, giving golfers more confidence and consistency from the fairway, rough or tee.

The main difference between ladies and senior flex shafts is the stiffness, weight and length. Ladies flex shafts are generally shorter in length, lighter in weight and not as stiff as senior flex shafts are. This helps golfers with slower swing speeds generate more clubhead speed and launch the ball higher. Both are designed to help improve distance and consistency, but ladies are the softer option.

Yes some men can use ladies flex shafts if they are shorter and swing is slower as this will suit ladies flex shafts. Some juniors will also use ladies flex when they are between junior and regular flex golf clubs.
