Extra Stiff Shaft vs Stiff Shaft - On Course Test !!!

- Extra Stiff Shaft vs Stiff Shaft - On Course Test !!! Should you use an extra stiff driver shaft? Or a stiff shaft? After testing different shafts in the Taylormade m3 Driver heads I’ve taken two out onto the golf course for testing. X Stiff vs Stiff - an on course head to head. What driver shaft should you be using? What driver shaft should I be using? I answer all these questions in the video.

After watching Mark Crossfield talk shafts and how little difference he found I was very interested to do this test for myself. Did I find similar outcomes? Could you just test shafts on a launch monitor and be done? Take a look to find out.

I like a stiff on my driver, it took awhile to get used to it but love it now. As someone who was stung a dozen times last year, I totally sympathize.
YOUR VIDEOS ARE GETTING WAY BETTER!
Great video and follow through from the shaft review. Thanks, Mate!
Glad you enjoyed it Travis ⛳️👍🏼🎥
I had similar experience really changed my game
Great test, James, even after being wounded. Vick's Vapor rub, keeps wasps, bees, and flies away just put a spot of it on the back of your t-shirt collar and it should work.
Well done for carrying on with the video James after been stung. Nasty little critters Wasps. 👍
I've been playing x stiff shafts for the past 4 years now but recently tried a tensei av white in a stiff and it was so much easier to load than the x. Gonna be going down to a stiff in my woods
“There’s another there...” 😂 those wasps are crazy!!
Great video James, I currently use stiff on my driver! which is the M3 as well
Great choice!
That's a really good test ,I agree that x was slightly edging it ,not sure what length you were playing those shafts at James but I have gone down to 44.5 inches over the last year and find it way more consistent ,t dosen't sound much of a difference but its surprising what a slight change can make on consistency .Spending a lot of cash on drivers people should really get fit and ask the question ,driver shafts are getting too long to con people in to getting a few more yards from their drivers .
I can see your channel growing. LIke your videos, and you seem like such a nice guy.
Thanks Jonghurn! Cheers for watching, I’m a lovely guy! Most people would say!
Another great video. I'm 102 mph with regular flex M2 driver. Looking to switch to stiff. Flex is one thing, but there are a few more options right? Weight, torque, launch angle? maybe I'm wrong.
For a player with a "pro" swing I don't think the shaft would make that much of a difference - but to ordinary club players I think it can make a massive difference due to variations of swing styles. For 3 years I used a regular shaft and my drives were all over the place. I almost gave up using the driver. Someone told me that I had a fast swing and so a stiff shaft would suit me better. I changed to a stiff shaft and Ive been hitting fantastic ever since.
Yeah. I play stiff. But I've tried buddies clubs that play xstiff. No real difference in performance for ME, but I could feel the difference. Stiff just feels a little smoother for me.
Hi James. Could you tell everyone in your vids what your swing speed is. Thanks Nick Faldo.
Hi James, thx for your Videos 😊
What is more important? Flex or Shaftweight?
I’m really confused about both and in between choices.. good golf mate.. lets play next summer
question. say you took off your glove...do you still use extra stiff? one year I had to watch my spending and so I took off glove and somehow got better, then got worse, so I started switching things around. I realized I won't hit those right leakers with a solid strike If I wear a glove. if I go nice n easy I could go no glove and it would be pretty good. then put on glove but now I was hooking like it was sticking more. this past year I realized glove and if I get into hook trouble just swing slower and just pretend it's on line for money. I can't just attack with driver because it will spray even just a bit and my irons all stuff but I usually aim right because it's gonna draw a bit and sometimes I try cut and it'll pull and then go out of play. then i'll do a perfect bubba cut with my driver. so some holes I just aim right and then swing slower let the shaft and club do the work. I could swing 115 mph or more but that could be using more wrist action and it's risky and shafts bending on me so maybe I need to try xs in conclusion
Stung in the face, yet you carried on-Impressive that! Isn’t it? Sub for the dedication! Cheers!!!
Wasps in August in the UK are extremely hungry and are on a ravenous search for food, you must have looked like a tasty Wasp Breakfast. A little tip for the future James, waving your arms around stimulates their attack response and the little Buggers start stinging!
Well I was waving around alright! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Elephant man springs to mind pal 🤣😘😂
I dont think its just the felx, but kick points to factor in. I hit an x-stiff, but I need a low kick point. if i use a mid/high, my shots go right, low kick, straight with a slight draw. Golf is a weird animal.
what were the weights set up on your driver? We have a very similar swing (before your lessons.) I was fit for a Mizuno ST200G Dialed from 9.0 to 7.0.. with toe weight in fade position and heel weight in draw position...x stiff shaft. On the monitor I was bombing them straight. First time on course I couldn't hit it at all!!! Either slice or just a push... I am hoping that moving it back to standard...with both weights in draw position on the heel will give me the flight I want!
Honestly I forgot the name of my shaft but my fitter got me with an xstiff shaft. I lost about 5 yard but have become extremely accurate with my nike vapor speed driver.
I have the m3 with the exact same tensi stiff shaft 60g but I haven't got it yet and it feels Abit whippy compared to some stiff shafts I dunno if it's just me
James you have a pretty flat swing. I'm in the same boat. Currently I'm an 8 handicap looking to improve. I've tried to get my hands up into more of a two plane swing, but I just can't. My default is flat (years of playing baseball I think). My driver distance is right at 250 to 260 average. I'm not super long, but super accurate. I'd like to be longer, but just curious what are your swing thoughts/philosophy being a flat swinger? Thanks in advance!
I'd like to know how you edit your videos to show the flight of the ball. I'm wanting to know if that could be used as a good teaching tool
Shot tracer App Aaron. Works pretty well. ⛳️👍🏼🎥
James, you fan your clubhead on the way back. I'm a scratch. Just saying buddy.... Great video... Cheers Dave
I’ve had lessons since this one David. Take a look! ;) thanks dude
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝good content. Really enjoying your channel bzzzzzzzzz🐝🐝🐝🐝
Argggggggghhg noooooo 😂😂😂 all I keep hearing is the buzzing! 😂😂😂 cheers Paul!
Great shaft test out on the course,do you think you will be gaming the M3 head?
Cheers TT! It’s found its way i there at the moment!
Excellent video... What is your opinion on the different shafts used by different club manufacturers? I am asking because the x-stiff shaft on Callaway drivers seem to be equal to the stiff shafts on Taylormade drivers. M4 with Aldilla stiff shaft was performing perfect but Rogue with Evenflo stiff was crappy until we tried it with the Evenflo x-stiff shaft and it made a huge difference to my consistency and dispersion. Evenflo x-stiff flex was similar to aldilla stiff flex.
I just got fitted for a Callaway Rogue Sub zero driver. Callaway Rep said Even Flow Stiff shaft was my fitting with 100mph. What Crap. Lost 3 balls first round Due to inaccurate driving. Haven,t done that in 15 years. Getting refitted for driver shaft in 2 days time after complaining for 25 mins..Will insist on a extra stiff shaft this time.Also lost 25 meters distance off my drives compared to my M1 x stiff.
Cross fingers this time.😠
My handycap 6.1. Age 50,s
@@nickpritchard7130 Interested to know if you experience the same as I did. I think the x-stiff will make a big difference for you. Definately changed the performance of the Rogue dramatically.
Good interesting video James, it would be nice to see a 10/12 handicaper try this test... Goodluck with the bee bites, not pleasant👍
So for your swing it doesn’t seem to matter much just a personal preference
How about a comparison of shaft weights?
James, what's your swing speed?...I think that has a lot to do with shaft selection, don't you think....I had an X for awhile but I went back to S and I'm hitting more fairways
I'm usually around 113 and was fit for an x. But recently went down to a stiff and found I domt have to swing as hard to get the same distance.
Can’t recall but have you done a M1 vs M3 yet?
Yes mate I have!
So which one would u recommend for me ? I tested my club speed more than once and it’s right around 115 mph
Over 105 mph consistently in theory should have extra stiff
@@flogtwo ok ty
LOL, but I am surprised that they were active so early in the morning. Somebody must have really pissed them off! LOL
😂😂😂😂
I have a feeling that TM M3 440 could be going in the bag soon?
Unofficial but it’s been in for the last few days Glen! 🔥⛳️
OMG I had a wasp attack on the course sux big time
People don’t understand until it happens to them! 😂😂😂
What a professional even after coming under an animal attack
Not gonna lie Paul... a small part of me wanted to get back in the car and leave 😂😂😂😂
I use a stiff shaft in my R1
Nice! How do you find it? Was it fitted?
James Robinson Golf
I got fitted beacause my swing speed is about 104 mph .The shaft performs and does everything I need it to do, no need to upgrade for me .
another great video Yogi but I'd send Boo-boo out for honey from now on!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
tight par 5?😂😂😂😂. come play in Australia mate. one of those fairways is about 2 of ours.
Well, if you are a desk jockey, I'd say yeah. Go stiff. If your are a working man that uses his hands to break bolts loose and lift 60 lbs over his head all day and has strength, go x. Two different worlds
Where's the ladies flex???? Afraid you may be in better position off the tee with it and put it in the bag????
You love a stiff shaft 😜
Extra stiff Jamie Lad. ⛳️😂🔥🎥
Yeah....extra stiff!
