The shafts were the same weight, torque, and bend profile, the only difference was flex.Įach golfer hit 10 shots with each shaft and the results were measured by our FlightScope X2 launch monitor. To keep the testers from knowing what shaft they were testing, UST Mamiya supplied blacked out shafts with no distinguishing marks (I marked the grips so that I would know which shaft was which). Every player used the exact same head: a 10.5* Callaway RAZR Fit. But what is the right flex? How do you find it? What are the benefits? And what are the problems with playing the wrong flex?
