TO HELP YOU DETERMINE YOUR SPECIFIC SHAFT FLEX PLEASE REFERENCE THE YARDAGE TO SWING SPEED CONVERSION CHART BELOW. • THE LENGTH OF THE SHAFT CAN HAVE AN IMPACT ON DISTANCE, WITH EACH ADDITIONAL 1/2 INCH ADDED IN SHAFT LENGTH YOU CAN EXPECT TO GAIN AN ESTIMATED 10 YARDS IN DISTANCE. • THE TIME OF YEAR CAN INFLUENCE DISTANCE, IN THE WINTER MONTHS EXPECT TO LOOSE AN ESTIMATED 10 YARDS IN DISTANCE FROM THE SUMMER MONTHS.

LIE: THE ANGLE MEASURED IN DEGREES CREATED BETWEEN THE SHAFT AND THE PLAYING SURFACE WHEN THE GOLF CLUB IS MEASURED AT THE POINT OF CONTACT WITH THE GOLF BALL. IMPACT: THE LIE IS AN IMPORTANT KEY TO A CONSITANT GOLF GAME; GENERALLY A LIE TO UPRIGHT WILL PROMOTE A SHOT THAT ENDS UP LEFT OF TARGET IN THE FORM OF A PULL; A LIE TO FLAT WILL PROMOTE A SHOT THAT ENDS UP RIGHT OF TARGET IN THE FORM OF A PUSH. 2. LOFT: THE ANGLE OF THE CLUB FACE MEASURED IN DEGREES AS RELATED TO SHAFT POSITION. IMPACT: INCREASING LOFT INCREASES LAUNCH ANGLE AND GENERALLY IMPROVES PLAYABILITY; DECREASING LOFT DECREASES LAUNCH ANGLE AND GENERALLY IS MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. NOTE: A FACTOR WHEN DETERMINING THE LAUNCH ANGLE OF A DRIVER 3. FLEX: THE COMMON TERM GIVEN TO THE RELATIVE BENDING PROPERTIES OF A GOLF CLUB SHAFT. IMPACT: CORRECT FLEX IS AN IMPORTANT KEY TO A CONSITANT GOLF GAME, A SHAFT FLEX TO FIRM GENERALLY PRMOTES A LOW BORING TRAJECTORY WITH THE SHOT ENDING UP TO THE RIGHT OF THE TARGET AS A PUSH; A FLEX TO SOFT GENERALLY PROMOTES A HIGH TRAJECTORY WITH THE SHOT ENDING UP AS A FADE. NOTE: A FACTOR WHEN DETERMINING THE LAUNCH ANGLE OF A DRIVER 4. TORQUE: THE AMOUNT OF TWIST IN A GOLF SHAFT UNDER A GIVEN AMOUNT OF FORCE. THE LOWER THE GIVEN NUMBER THE LESS THE SHAFT TWIST AND VICE VERSA. 5. FLEX POINT: THE LOCATION WITHIN THE SHAFT THAT FLEX OCCURS DURING THE SWING IMPACT: A LOWER FLEX POINT GENERALLY PROMOTES A HIGHER LANUCH ANGLE; A HIGHER FLEX POINT GENERALLY PROMOTES A LOWER LAUNCH ANGLE NOTE: A FACTOR WHEN DETERMINING THE LAUNCH ANGLE OF A DRIVER 6. OFFSET: THE DISTANCE FROM THE FURTHER MOST FRONT OF THE HOSEL (THE PART OF THE CLUBHEAD INTO WHICH THE SHAFT IS FITTED AND SECURED) TO THE LEADING EDGE OF THE GOLF CLUB FACE. 7. BOUNCE: THE ANGLE MEASURED IN DEGREES OF THE LEADING EDGE OF THE GOLF CLUB FACE IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE PLAYING SURFACE (USUALLY RELATES TO WEDGES). IMPACT: GENERALLY A HIGHER BOUNCE (10-12 DEGREES) IS RECOMMENDED FOR FINE SOFT SAND, A MEDIUM BOUNCE (8-10 DEGREES) FOR COARSE OR FIRM SAND AND A LOWER BOUNCE (6-8 DEGREES) FOR FAIRWAY USE. 8. VOLUME: A NUMERICAL DESIGNATION GIVEN TO THE SIZE OF A GOLF CLUB HEAD AS MEASURED BY LIQUID DISPLACEMENT (USUALLY RELATES TO DRIVERS, FAIRWAY METALS, AND HYBRID METALS. 9. GRIP DIAMETER: THE MEASUREMENT RELATING TO A GRIPS DIAMETER. IMPACT: GENERALLY GRIP DIAMETER IS DETERMINED BY GLOVE SIZE AND AIDS IN THE PROPER LOCATION OF THE HANDS AND FINGERS, HOWEVER AS GOOD AS IT MAY FEEL TO THE HANDS OVERSIZE GRIPS ARE USUALLY RECOMMENDED FOR GOLFERS WITH AN ARTHRITIC CONDITION.
