Shafts are made from two types of material, graphite and steel. They come in various degrees of flex A) Ladies, B) Senior, C) Regular and D) stiff. Each category has various degrees of flex, depending on the manufacturer. Note: There are no standardized flex measurements.
There is another misunderstood term called “kickpoint” which means the point at which the shaft has the most bend. There are three different points of flexibility, the butt, the center and the shaft tip. A shaft that is more flexible at it’s tip will create higher shots.
