We Tested Shaft Weight and Flex | Here's What We Found

When it comes to choosing the right driver shaft, golfers often focus on one question: Should I change the flex? But what if shaft weight actually has a bigger impact on your performance? In this video, we put driver shaft weight vs. shaft flex to the test using launch monitor data and real-world testing to find out which variable has the greatest influence on ball speed, launch, spin, dispersion, and overall consistency. By changing one variable at a time, we separate fact from fiction and show you what really happens when you alter your driver shaft. The results may surprise you. Whether you're thinking about moving from Regular to Stiff, or wondering if a lighter or heavier shaft could help your game, this test highlights why there is no one-size-fits-all answer. The right shaft isn't determined by swing speed alone, it's about finding the combination that matches your swing and produces the best performance.
