Not talking about an occasional shaft change but a full clubfitting session involving launch monitor,swing speed, grip sizing...

  4. Question Shaft flex VS swing speed?

    I am shopping around for a shaft for a driver head (SMT Deep Bore 455). All the major company like golfsmith.com for instance have a swing speed chart that relates to a flex.

  50. Fixing a chip in forged iron
