Typically the standard weight of a driver is normally between 50 to 60 grams. Differently weighted shafts situated across all flexes help either lower or increase spin rates off the face of the club. Within a shaft flex category, there are differently weighted shafts to offer more precision for matching a player's swing speed. Having been advised on the best suitable shaft flex, our fitters would move onto finding the best type of shaft within the chosen flex in order to choose the most appropriately weighted option. Ultimately it is therefore definitely worth seeking advice from our expertly trained custom fitting team. Choosing the wrong flex would hinder a golfer’s clubhead speed and so forth their distance, accuracy and consistency with the driver. Although this may sound quite simple if a player roughly knows there clubhead speed, it is still highly recommended to take full use of our favoured free custom-fitting process as in certain scenarios a player may be best off going up or down a flex depending on if their clubhead speed is borderline between two flex options. Between 90-105 mph best suits a player to be fitted with a stiff flex shaft and above 105 mph means a player should have an extra stiff shaft.

If the golfer is between 80-90 mph then they would look to be fitted with a regular shaft. Usually if a golfer’s clubhead speed with a driver is below 80 mph then they will be more suited to a soft regular shaft. This allows the golfer to feel in complete control of the clubhead’s path and thus prompting a more confident delivery towards impact. The most suitable flex option is dependent on a golfer’s clubhead speed, the two should correspond with each other in order to match the club’s ability to bend parallel to the speed of the golfer’s swing. Each driver includes a cluster of both standard and custom shaft options situated across various different flex options such as Extra Stiff, Stiff, Regular, Soft Regular, Lady Flex and Junior Flex.
