As we approach the 14th hole in life, most of us find that our swing slows down a little, but that’s no reason to call it a day. Senior flex (A-flex) golf clubs feature the most flexible standard shafts, and are designed for players with slower swing speeds (typically below 75–85 mph). 

The increased flexibility means the shaft will whip through the impact with the ball, generating some extra clubhead speed and higher launch angles, which adds up to longer strokes. That can possibly come at the cost of a little precision, but experience can compensate for that slight drawback.

Despite the name, these shafts aren’t only for senior golfers experiencing a decline in speed. 

Junior players who are developing strength, as well as recreational players with smooth swings, can benefit from this flex too. Also, women who are transitioning from ladies’ flex often play with senior flex clubs, as do players who are recovering from injury.
