Wondering what golf shaft flex is right for you? Use our free Golf Shaft Flex Calculator to get a quick recommendation based on your driver swing speed and swing tempo.

What This Calculator Does:

Why Shaft Flex Matters:

Using the wrong flex can lead to:

  • Inconsistent ball flight

  • Loss of distance

  • Poor feel and control

  • Difficulty with trajectory and spin

With the right flex, the shaft loads and unloads in sync with your swing, delivering more solid contact and better results.

How to Measure Swing Speed:

  • Use a launch monitor or swing radar

  • Check data at your local golf store or fitting studio

  • Use a speed chart based on your average driver distance (optional)
