INCREDIBLE results with LADIES driver shaft!

[@davidmcgill8756]

I am still playing regularly at 84 years old. I recently was fitted with 12 degree driver with a 40g shaft. The improvement in my driving has been enormous

[@johnswanson4266]

My golf buddy, now 81, has had a rough season this year.He's struggling with club control. I went bargain hunting last month and bought him a set of ladies clubs at bargain basement pricing! Happy B"day Sam! I cannot believe how much better he's doing on the course! Finally has a big "ole smile on his face!He loves the lightness of the clubs.

[@cadcad4974]

Your videos are very informative, with none of the hype & theatrics that some of the other golf channels find necessary. At my age (75) & based on your test findings I'm going to a ladies shaft on my driver, & hybrids. As a weekend golfer, I firmly feel the average high handicapper shouldn't carry irons, (1-6) they will never master them & will only drive up their score & aggravation! I carry a 7, 9, & PW that gets me around the course in peace!🙂

[@briantreadwell2206]

I recently went down to regular shaft in driver as I slowed my swing speed to focus on plane and face at impact . . . I would definitely try this out . . . what stigma on ladies/men’s . . If it works, it works! I think the current terminology on tees abandons, men’s ladies and it’s just red, yellow, white etc

[@jimpowell2296]

I beg to differ. You change not calling the “red tees” the ladies tees. But, they are still the ladies tees. These women to me are pretty foolish. They don’t like the ladies tees called the ladies tees, but they still play from the ladies tees. Changing the name from ladies to forward tees solves what? Ego people, it solves ego on the ladies part. Do you want to guess who wanted this name change?

[@wallstreetoneil]

We all get older - and even if we find ourselves playing more, doesn't mean we keep our speed just because we keep our fitness. I'm just back from a Titleist National Fitting Center fitting for the new T100s (I'm a current AP2 player with X-stiff and heavy Rifle 6.5 shafts). With the new T100S 7-iron head, my ball speed went from 112mph with a 120-gram shaft to 118mph with a 100-gram shaft - that's 6mph gain for 20grams. You may not think it's real, but the data doesn't lie -162 carry became 170 and gained 15 peak height

[@edf9992]

Very creative out of the box test! Thank you

[@markmaioli4]

I've played a 60-70 gram stiff driver shaft since graphite became the thing back in the 90s. Driver has been my best club since I can remember but this last season I was not getting as much out of it as normal. I'd seen a couple videos about lightweight more flexible shafts that intrigued me so I bought an Evenflow Riptide CB 40, 45 gm std length shaft. I can say without a doubt the results are great. I am bombing it again as it perfectly matches up with my Cobra Aerojet LS driver. Give it a try!

[@nickmarr1]

Great stuff, Andy. I’m a shaft tinkerer and my experiences have taught me that the mind and body soon accommodate shafts of most weights and flexes and your swings adapts to suit the shaft. I play an 85g X flex but I can hit my son’s 50g regular flex a not dissimilar distance on a good strike. Fascinating stuff… 👍🏻

[@booberry6715]

"the mind and body soon accommodate shafts of most weights and flexes" Thank you. I've been saying this for 25 years. Within reason, and for the most part, the minutiae of gear specs don't really matter because our brains will figure out the best way to use the tool we're using.

[@joedavis7161]

You beat me to the issue. This week I grabbed my wife’s RAC oversized #7 with a lite UG and soft tip shaft. Hit some of the most promising iron shots in a long time. The (data) results speak for themselves. Excellent piece.

[@beimsteiner]

I've definitely been tinkering with different configurations, nice easy swing with a shorter whippy shaft is money for my driver. Just have to relax enough to let the club head do the work

[@starks1974]

Good stuff Andy! I think the bigger difference is the shaft length. Liam, over at Golfmates, put in a 5wood reg shaft into his 3wood and was cracking it. The big difference was the length. This makes sense as club makes promote the longer shafts to advertise longer club distance. In the late 1970s to early 1980s, the most common length for a men's driver was 43 inches. Back then, the typical 3-iron for men was 38.5 inches with all other irons decreasing in half-inch increments to the wedges. So current women's iron length is what men's length was back then. Another challenge, Back in Time club testing. Test a newer set of clubs but to standards from 30-40years ago. I remember starting out not having issues with hitting my long irons but now who is confident hitting a 3 iron vs hybrid?

[@TheAverageGolfer]

So true about shaft length Brent

[@MrLittlejonboy]

It’s what you feel comfortable with, at my fitting device said I was a 120gram iron player. Tried Ping 425 irons with that weight shaft and started laughing, it was more like playing golf with a sledge hammer! Regardless what the data said, I was more comfortable with 95g True Temper Elevate. Shaft length was my biggest difference, 1/2 inch off irons Hybrid and a full inch off driver

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Agreed

[@Buckdax]

Kind of the same here. Was fitted into i210 with a 120g shaft. Trusted the fitter and ordered them and then I had to force myself to play them for 50+ rounds before I gave up on that heavy shaft. Just couldn't make it work past 7-8 holes but since i had the spent the money 🤔. Will be forever missed my i210's. Although my sub70's are also great.

[@carlbart6742]

Am 39 got fitted for some irons and he tried a senior flex graphite shaft didnt really want to try it but ended up with then in my new irons and i have so much more control with my irons

[@clydesandry5351]

My experience is the same as David. I am 72 Yrs with a recurring back problems and a driver swing of around 80mph. The 'A' flex 50 gram shaft has added at least 15 yds + to my drives. I was just fitted yesterday for x2 hybrids, again with 'A' flex shafts. . My new 4 hybrid with an A flex shaft is going further than my old 5 wood with a regular flex shaft. The main benefit for me is being able to swing easy, with less stress on my back. Which is going to keep me playing golf for many years to come. Also, try the new Cleveland woods. Great price and performance 👍🏻

[@tonyclark6297]

I knew you'd hit the ladies shaft further but what shocked me was the tighter dispersion! I'll give this a try, cheers.

The lighter shafts compared to the old steel ones are so much easier for me to swing. No pride issues here just use what works!

[@bgrritchiet]

Very good information Andy. Thanks. Definitely something for me to try with my current driver.

[@TedInoue]

I switched to the Epic Flash Star driver and woods this year. I had been playing the Mavrik, and loved those. But the lightweight, more flexible Epic Flash Star clubs are in a league of their own. They spec out much like the ladies shaft you tried. I added 10-20+ yds on my drives and greatly increased consistency with my woods. I liked them all so much that I just ordered the 25 degree 11W and 15 degree 3W. The hybrid is coming out of the bag because I find the light woods so much easier to control and strike pure.

[@johnhughes9122]

Andy, try the G425 Max with the 40g Distanza shaft! I have them in my fairways woods as well!

Will try John 👍

[@alancousins9595]

I agree, the Distanza shaft in my G410 5 wood is amazing. So straight, easy to launch, very good distance. Like the Airspeeder shaft in my SIM2 driver - similar weight, same characteristics

[@davedelacy]

Andy I have to Ping's fitting center in Phoenix and got fitted several years ago and while I played somewhat better I found while Ping did a good job they are recommending what they have in shafts available for their clubs, and not necessarily what was good for me. I had a club fitting at Club Champion a month or so ago, and what happened was they kept my Ping G410 heads and went with a 40 gram Fujikura Vista Pro IR 40 gram R2 shafts in my irons, B21 3&4 Hybrids and 54 & 60 bent to 58 wedges Cleveland wedges. I also play with the 3 &5 Cobra Air Speed FMax Offset with 45 Gram lite shafts, and the distance I picked up in all the clubs is amazing.

[@golfinmidlife5222]

Took couple years out of playing from injuries. Came back and played a senior driver shaft for 4 months, then into a regular, now in a softer feeling stiff shaft... found when you want to go after a shot it just leaks all over the place.. constancy is key for me.

I've recently been fitted for a SIM2 driver with smoke green hulk shaft and the fitter added weight to the clubhead. I didn't like or hit the driver well prior to the swing weight increase. After we settled on the swing weight he added hot melt and what a difference. I don't see anything on youtube about altering drivers for fitting this way for improvement. You should try, you might see some gains in distance, accuracy and feel as I have.

[@ronmullard5718]

I used to play stiff shafts years ago,but as I've got older and (sadly) swing speed has reduced I've dropped back to regular shafts.A couple of months ago some one at our club had the misfortune to break the shaft on their driver and the head with about 5/6 inches of shaft was left in locker room I made enquires as to whose it was ,no one knew so after a month of it lying about one of our committee members said if you want it take it or it's getting binned.I took it and removed broken shaft and replaced with a 50 gm ladies shaft (just to try out after having read an article which basically said many golfers could improve their game by using ladies clubs if they got rid of their pride and ego....Well I think that could be somewhat true as I have hit some good shots with it (baring in mind conditions over the last month or two.....Further testing to be resumed...

[@shaynesvenson8628]

I’ve loved your series on using lighter shafts. Your theory is quite sound. I’m in my early 70s and have had multiple surgeries through my mid-section plus a broken left wrist this spring. It’s been tough regaining strength in my left/lead arm and regaining speed and rhythm through the torso. I am currently testing a Tour Edge E721 7-iron with ladies’ shaft. Not yet working for me, but I’m going to add some tennis player’s tape to the grip to approach jumbo size. You might think about exploring grip sizes also. I came to golf through tennis and have to resist an over-active right hand. I find the jumbo grips help me quiet the roll of the right hand.

Andy, I really think that the average golfer should play with clubs similar to the ladies. Most golfers are likely closer to the stats of them than of regular mens in IMO. Especially those with slower swing speeds.

[@legend9018]

I went to my local big box store to hit a few drivers. I pulled what I thought was an S Flex Ping G425 Driver and a few others. I was hitting the Ping very well and farther than the rest. After closer inspection it wasn’t an S flex, it was an SR flex! My normal swing speed is around 100 mph as well! I think that is partly why that people that use/test that pricey Autoflex shaft have such good results. Even their X and XX shafts are very light and flexible. They are just branded as that flex even though there is no industry standard. My wife said that women’s clothing designers do the same thing giving women larger sizes but labeling them as smaller lol

[@summer3summer379]

Another great video Andy. I am 70 was playing a 40 gram 12 degree senior shaft. My club head speed is 75 mph. I went for a Gen4 PXG fitting and found 15 more yards in a 12 degree hazardous yellow 60 gram stuff shaft. You need to be fitted. The fitter said if I used a 9 degree loft the 40 gram senior shaft would work. Fitting makes the difference.

[@kevinmcarthur2389]

My swing speed is very similar to yourself, 98/100mph so always interest in the results you get. I was on a trackman last weekend because I had bought a 2nd hand Mizuno ST200X with a 50g CK series flex A shaft. I hit my present driver , an Epic with a tour AD IZ6 stiff shaft and also with a handcrafted Project X yellow 60g shaft, and a Kura Kage tini 50g stiff. I noticed it was easier swinging the Mizuno with the light shaft than the Epic with the Project X and Tour AD IZ. What was noticeable was when I put the Kura Kage TiNi 50g stiff shaft in the Epic it became easy to swing and I picked up about 5 yards. Interested in getting a 45g shaft and comparing that now

There are so many variables in shaft stiffness from different manufacturers as well. What is XS in one might be S in another. I agree weight does make a difference. I can't swing whippy flex shafts - I plough the club into the ground as my hands get to far in front, but a stiffer shaft and I get through no problem.

There’s something to be said about the lighter shaft and ladies flex. I recently picked up a used big Bertha 23 3 wood in Florida. I haven’t had a 3w in the bag for years just can’t hit one but I was so impressed by the weight I took a chance. Loved it and could really hit off the deck and tee. No golf snobbery here. 😂

[@stanhastie6003]

I use an XXIO 10.5 deg driver fitted with the standard SR (stiff regular) shaft weighing 45gms. Find that I hit the ball straighter and 15 - 20 yards longer than my previous Titleist driver and it is almost effortless and less tiring.

[@chuckyz2]

i've done a lot of testing with different weight and flex shafts. It is no myth. The flex needs to match the club head speed. THere have been many discussions on this. Some say that to weak of a flex will cause the the shaft to load and unload too soon causing the ball to go low left. Too stiff, right fade. For me, and I have hit them all, too weak of flex causes a weak fade. Too stiff a low and left shot. With a regular and senior shaft I get good distance with horrible dispersion. If I swing hard I can even get a double flex when jumping at it at the top. If it lines up and 2nd flex unloads at the right time, I can hot bombs. But that is one in 20 or less. When I was younger and faster that would happen with Reg flex. Now with slow swingers like you that only carry it 220 and 240ish total, who knows. You may have slow enough club speed to be able to use a ladies flex.

Hi, can you clarify the overall length of the driver with the ladies shaft, please.

[@derrickjohnson8895]

I'd be curious to know what the swing weight is on the club with both shafts. I think the 60 gram is going to have a higher swing weight because of the shaft weight (+15 grams) and the extra inch of length. My guess is the 60gram is more like D1/2 and the 45 gram is like C7/8. That makes a huge difference in how it feels.

[@miriamdalglish255]

Would you recommend taking an inch of the length of my driver shaft as am 5f .1 but would that make the shaft stiffer

I believe it does affect the shaft but in my opinion very minimal, shorter driver shaft is a good idea for most golfers

All very well if you can swing easily and smoothly. To me as a 61 year old I make Rahm look like Freddie Couples! I actually swing my driver at 95 mph and have just had my shaft rechecked on my new driver as I was completing my swing too early and not timing my drives as I had no 'feel' for my clubhead. Consequently I was changed from a 50g reg to a 60g stiff. Horses for courses.

Just looked at this video and have seen others like it. Your spin rate is too high and if you deloft the club the spin will come down which should result in more distance. I recently built a ladies shaft and the first go round didn't get the results that I was hoping for. The weight was around D4 and with this set-up it needs to be lighter, shortened the club to 45 inches which brought it into the C range, I will be going to a virtual range to try it out.
