Generally, the shaft will be the same throughout your bag but may differ between clubs if you are on the limits for a specific flex. Hybrids are the replacement for long irons, so the shaft flex falls into the same category as for irons.
The fitting process is aimed at providing you with the best opportunity to garner the maximum benefit out of every club in your bag and worth the price you pay, whether you are a seasoned golfer or a beginner. Woods and hybrids are aimed at providing you with distance rather than distance control and therefore have lower lofts. Irons and wedges are for maximum control over distance and direction with a higher trajectory enabling you to land and stop the ball on the green.
The shorter the iron the higher the loft and ball trajectory. A high trajectory shortens the distance required to stop the ball on the green. Shaft weight plays a significant role in the maximum swing speed that you can achieve.
Furthermore, it impacts the control you can execute over the shot. Graphite shafts are lighter than steel shafts generally weighing in at below 90g. They are more suitable for golfers that require additional swing speed.
Iron shafts are divided into three weight categories, lightweight for shafts under 90g, mid-weight for shafts between 90g and g, and heavyweight for shafts over g. Stiff shafts are ideal for golfers with high swing speeds. Higher swing speeds generally lead to an increase in distance if you are swinging the club fast enough to utilize the stiffer shaft. Using an extra stiff shaft is only recommended for golfers that have extremely fast swing speed and can control the club at such high speed.
To achieve maximum swing speed, you have to use your normal shot shape and not deviate from that. Trying to manufacture a shot will have a significant impact on your swing speed. A width and a large arc will enable you to increase the speed at the point of impact. Get wide early for speed where it counts.
Start the backswing with your leading arm straight and keep the maximum width without compromising other swing mechanics. Fast swingers start the downswing with the lower body a fraction of a second before they reach the top of their backswing. Clear your leading hip slightly forward and towards the back to enable you to swing freely with no obstruction. Keep the lag position until your hands reach hip height before releasing the clubhead for maximum effect. Use the big muscles in your legs and core to generate power through the impact zone.
It all starts from the ground up. To get the best results from the effect of your swing speed you have to use the shaft suited to your maximum speed and not attempt to use a shaft that is better suited to different swing speeds.
A uniflex shaft is ideal when you are in the transition phase between a regular shaft and a stiff shaft. Go ahead, work hard on fitness and strength to increase your swing speed, and then get the shaft that will take you to the next level.

Uniflex Vs Stiff Shafts Stiff shafts are generally used by golfers that have played golf for an extended period and honed their swings to be able to control the driver at such high speeds.
Unflex Vs Senior Shafts Senior shafts are designed especially for golfers with a below-average swing speed between 60 mph and 75 mph. Converting to a uniflex shaft will not benefit these golfers. Uniflex Vs Graphite Shafts Graphite shafts are manufactured from a composite material to save weight enabling you to swing faster. What does it mean?

Morning guys, Just want to understand a bit more about this. What does this mean? I mean I hit them pretty good so can't really complain. What flex would Uniflex be closer to? Regular or Stiff? Thanks guys! Ethan Money List Winner Sep 17, If you hit a golf ball more than yards with your driver, you will most likely need a stiff shaft and not a uniflex shaft. If you hit less than or so, you may end up needing a Regular or a Senior shaft in your golf clubs. The uniflex shaft is more about the speed of your golf swing than it is about the type of golfer or handicap that you are.
Remember that swing speed is always going to be measured with your driver when we talk about that 90 miles per hour. Uniflex shafts are not bad, but there are a few things that you should know about them.
Most of the time, the uniflex shaft is put in a set of beginner clubs. These sets are usually value type sets designed to last several years. If you are expecting the uniflex shaft that is put in these clubs to be a high-end premium shaft, you will be disappointed. Another thing to consider is that the Uniflex is built to accommodate a wide range of players.
If you want a shaft that is custom fit exactly to your specifications as far as weight and flex is concerned, then you need to consider something else.
Going to a custom fitting and hitting with a launch monitor will tell you the exact shaft that will work for your game. Most golf shafts are labeled with the flex of the shaft. For senior shafts, you will see two different designations, either it will say Lite, or it will have an A on it.
If your shaft does not have any markings or indicators on it, you will have to take it to a professional club fitter who will be able to tell based on its performance. A uniflex shaft is not ideal for a senior golfer.
In fact, senior golfers should not even play with a regular golf shaft if they can avoid it. Senior golfers need all of the distance and forgiveness that they can get to make up for the difference in clubhead speed that happens as a person ages. A uniflex shaft is steel, which is not the ideal material for a senior golf club. Seniors should look into graphite shafts that are made specifically for their needs. There can be some negative implications for your golf game if you play with a golf shaft that is too stiff or too flexible.
A proper golf shaft is almost more important than the club head itself. If your golf shaft is too stiff, you will struggle to release the golf ball. Playing with a shaft that is too stiff can also make you lose a bit of distance since it is too stiff to get the same speed that a proper golf flex would give you. If a golf shaft is too flexible for you, chances are you will end up starting to hook it quite a bit.
Your swing speed will be too fast, and you will end up releasing the club too soon and sending the ball to the left. A golf shaft is too flexible for you when your swing speed is starting to get quite fast.
Golfers that play with a stiff shaft and find that it is too flexible will have the option to go to an extra stiff shaft. This is only recommended for people with swing speeds consistently over miles per hour.
Yes, every golf shaft has several specifications to it that go beyond just flex. Golf shafts have different kick points, weights, and torque as well.
