Episode #43: This Equipment Mistake Kills Distance and Accuracy
Golf is hard enough - don't make it even harder by playing the wrong equipment. While most of us focus on the clubheads and finding the right grips, we settle on shafts.
But here's the problem, most golfers try to swing a stiff or X-stiff flex shaft when they should play a regular or stiff shaft. When you swing a shaft that is too stiff you kill distance, make it easy to slice the ball, and your mishits are much worse.
The experts at True Spec even said, "In equipment circles, there is a common cliché that the shaft is 'the engine' of the club."
When you listen to this episode you will learn:
- Why shaft flex is so important
- The swing speed you need for each flex
- Why seniors shouldn't always play senior flex
- Why beginners might benefit from a stiff flex shaft
And more. Remember, to become a wicked smart golfer you need to play the right equipment and set yourself up for success!
