Stiff flex hybrids and driving irons are best suited to golfers with fast swing speeds, the stiffer shaft helps keep the clubhead more stable through impact, leading to greater control and tighter dispersion for players who generate more speed.

Using a stiff flex shaft keeps the clubface stable through impact, resulting in more accurate shots and a lower more controlled ball flight. Allowing golfers with faster swing speeds to maximise distance while maintaining control.

The shaft flex determines how much the club bends during your swing. Regular flex suits average swing speeds (around 84–96 MPH), offering a good mix of distance and control. Stiff flex is best for faster swings that need more stability, while Senior flex is lighter and more flexible to help slower swings generate extra speed and carry.

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.

Most professionals use extra stiff flex on their golf clubs because they have faster swings. However, not all professionals do have extra fast swing speeds, some incredibly good golfers don't hit the ball very far and have slower smoother swings meaning they'd be using stiff or regular flex instead of extra stiff.
