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.
As shown here:
| Flex | Driver Distance |
| Extra stiff | Over 275 yards |
| Stiff | 240-275 yards |
| Regular | 200-240 yards |
| Senior | 180-200 yards |
| Ladies | Under 180 yards |
Iron sets typically include seven or eight clubs consisting of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 irons in addition to a pitching wedge and sometimes a gap wedge.
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 iron set, here's what to look for:
✔️ There are no cracks in the shaft.
✔️ There are no cracks in the club head.
✔️ There is no rust on the club face.
✔️ There are no dents on the sole of the club.
✔️ The hosel is not loose, and the head does not rotate.
✔️ Every 7 Iron measures to the standard length of 34 inches.
