The faster you swing a club, the firmer or the
heavier shaft is usually required. The load on the shaft during the
downswing creates the flex in the shaft.
A shaft that is too stiff will mostly result in a
short or faded shot, while a club with too much flex will hook or
spray the shot.
Only your professional club fitter can find the
balance in shaft flex. The backswing - downswing combination is
where the energy is created, to be released immediately resulting in
increased club head speed and correct alignment on impact.
And then there is the flex-point or kick-point of
the shaft, defining low or high trajectory for ball flight.

Lie is the angle between the shaft and the sole of the club.
With your shaft length correct, the wrong lie angle will result in
either the ball going left or right of your intended direction.
Add to this head weight, weight distribution, head materials
& design, swing weight and total weight we are getting closer to
a complete golf club. Tuning your loft angle is a minor
adjustment done when everything else is considered.

Unable to release all your power? This may a symptom of
incorrect grip size. A grip too thick can limit your ability to
release the wrists during impact while a grip too thin can cause
an early release. A 'neutral" grip will enable you to get the
club face square to target during impact.

Now that you have your first fitted club, what do you put in
your bag? With the advent of fairway drivers and the fact that
most golfers are not confident with long irons, a good range is
a 5 iron up to Sand Wedge.
