Question 444

What shaft flex is best for a senior?

From Bob:

Scott..... I am a 68 years old senior citizen.  I can hit a driver with a stiff shaft farther than a driver with a senior shaft......10.5 degrees..graphite.

Is this uncommon, and do you recommend stiff shafts for seniors ?  Have I been mislead all these years?

Shaft flex needs to be matched to every golfer for control and accuracy.  It doesn't suprise me with so many different flexes and torques that you can hit a driver shaft farther with a stiff shaft than you can with a senior shaft.
