At 71 all fitters want to put me into senior shafts so I have an iron set with them and a driver with a senior flex. I decided to try and see how a regular flex would be in my driver, especially a 40 gram one. I gained 7-12 yds with the regular flex in a Callaway Rogue driver vs the senior flex. I used a Skycaddie for measuring the distance and did this on almost every hole with consistent results. Both shafts are identical except for the flex. So today I ordered a set of Titleist irons (AP1) identical to the ones I have but with regular flex shafts. One problem with senior shafts in my irons is the very low kick point. I understand they want to help get the ball in the air but for me that's the problem. The faster I hit the ball it just go higher. It goes up, not out. Also the whippier shafts do not give the best dispersion. So this is a sort of warning that when someone trys to fit you into senior shafts be careful! You will probably be ok with regular shafts or better.
