SHAFTS
The golf shaft is the most important element in the performance of a club. It is like the engine in a car.

FLEXIBILITY: The flexibility of a shaft is really the amount of "bend" that the shaft will produce during the swing or when a weight is applied to the tip end. Manufacturers measure flex using a flex board. The grip is clamped with the shaft in a horizontal position, a prescribed weight is hung from the tip and the amount of deflection is measured in inches. The greater the amount of deflection the greater the flexibility.

 

CLUB HEADS
There are hundreds of head designs on the market .... large, small, cavity back, flow weighted, back weighted, heel/toe weighted and so on...at this stage in development, it does appear that a mid size to oversize, perimeter weighted head will work for most players. In most cases, the playability of the club is primarily affected by the shaft, not the iron head design.

 

GRIPS
These have improved dramatically over the past few years....they are still made of various rubber, cork and canvas compounds but are now more durable and cosmetically appealing.

 

LENGTHS & WEIGHTS
Swing-weighting is a method of expressing the weight in the head of the club relative to the weight of the shaft and grip. This relationship is stated in a letter/number sequence. In a top quality set of clubs the swing-weight readings on each club, both woods and irons, should be consistent. This is one aspect of uniformity as required in golf clubs.
