Flex refers to how much the shaft of the golf club bends during the swing. There are generally five ratings for flex: extra stiff, stiff, regular, senior, and ladies. Your optimal flex will vary based on your technique and driver distance.
| Flex | Driver Distance |
| Extra stiff | Over 275 yards |
| Stiff | 240-275 yards |
| Regular | 200-240 yards |
| Senior | 180-200 yards |
| Ladies | Under 180 yards |
Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying a used shaft, here's what to look for:
✔️ Inspect the entire length for cracks, dents, or splits.
✔️ Steel shafts should be free of rust.
✔️ Graphite shafts should have no excessive wear or fraying.
✔️ Check for cracks, fading, or hardening in the grip.
✔️ Check with the seller if the shaft has been altered.
