Shaft flex: what is "firm" flex

[slugger]

Looking at a driver that has a firm flex shaft.

Is Firm, the same as Stiff?

 

[bobmac]

That depends on how long the string is

I think it should be in between regular and stiff. Is it a Callaway?

As bobmac says with Callaway it is usualy somewhere between reg and stiff not seen it beforeon taylormade.

Ask the retailer as I can't imagine it has firm on the actual shaft - if it does he should be able to tell you the exact shaft type then you can look it up find out the spec

thanks for your time, and sorry for wasting it!!! I phoned them up and when i asked the lady on the phone what kind of shaft was on it, she said "I fink it's a steel one, but i'd need to check!"

think i'll maybe stick to who i know and possibly go with one of these... They also have the TM burner for under £100 but only in a regular flex.

TM do a graphite shaft that is between their standard regular and the first of their stiff versions as that is what I was recommended for at a TM driver fitting at a TM demo day last year. I spent 45 minutes trying various models and shafts on a funky launch monitor. I didn't know until the bloke fitted me that there was even an inbetween flex from R to S

Firm is stiffer than regular but softer than stiff...rofl...

Or that's the way I understand it.
