Shaft Flex What’s Right For Your Golf Swing!

Shaft Flex What’s Right For Your Golf Swing!

The flex in the shaft can have a significant effect with your ball striking, we all know this, and flexing the shaft can also have an effect on what type of swing you have.

There’s more to consider than, what is the right flex for your swing profile? You should also take into consideration, what is the right flex for your acceleration profile.

If you have an early release or cast the club, even if you have a faster swing speed, you can most likely get away with a softer flex. If you create and hold significant lag, even with a slower swing speed, you can most likely fit yourself with a stiffer flex.

Taking these points into consideration your shaft flex will be critical in helping maximize your consistency.

How To Feel Your Club Shallow In Transition

How To Feel Your Club Shallow In Transition

A study from well known golf biomechanist, Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, showed that 39 out of 40 touring professionals had some amount of club shallowing in transition. As we know many amateurs are too steep at this point, it is safe to assume that this is a differentiator between low and elite level players.

To get a better feel for this pattern, players should get to the top of their swing, drop the club, and then catch it, while pulling in the direction of the target and rotating to a full finish. You will probably want to do this with a split-grip and avoid hitting any balls at first, but you should get a good sense for how the shallowing of the club relates to the movement of the body.

Once you have completed a few repetitions of this, you can then move to the next progression, which involves a normal grip and a simple decrease in grip pressure as you again feel the club falling or shallowing in transition. From here, you can go ahead and hit some full shots, while being aware of any tendencies that may overly steepen the club. Overall, this is a great drill that has helped a number of my students quickly pick up on the unique feel of what it takes to properly shallow in transition.
