I'm going to be real honest here. I have no idea what shaft flex is for. Call me what you will, I can take it.
Especially when it come to steel shafts. The way I figure it, the stiffer the flex in steel, the lower the launch and spin will be. Is this correct? Does it affect shot shape?
Here is why. The RSS (recommended swing speed) for iron shafts would put me very very firmly into the X100 category. But I consider my ballflight very good with the mid kick stiff actionlites in my irons. High sometimes, but not too bad. I'm not looking to change, I'm just curious.
So could someone explain to me what stiffness is for, and how its different from graphite to steel. Thanks
