Joey, try that test again and hit the clubs in reverse order. Studies show that as you make more swings, repeatedly, they will get faster. Just try it on your own, and if that is the case you can make another video showing that. I'm about to get a sim for my channel (and to have something to entertain myself during the cold times) and this was one of the tests I wanted to do. Enjoyed the video!
So I went over the data again. It was very interesting and puzzling! I had the slowest swing speed with my regular flex shaft. I averaged about 92mph. It was just a tick higher with the lighter shaft. With the stiff flex I was around 94… the interesting thing is my ball speed was basically around 135 with all of them. I topped out at 95.9 and that was with the stiff flex. Hope that helps!!
Thanks for the video Joey! That’s an interesting experiment and I honestly thought the numbers would have varied more between the Senior and the stiff. It would be interesting to revisit after your speed training to see how all three shafts compare. Currently as I tweak my game, I’m trying to focus on more accuracy out of the center of the club head to gain distance and then slowly try to add more speed. We’ll see how that progresses. Golf, the never ending journey. Thanks again!
Hello just found your channel today. It popped up while looking at video's about the hybrid irons. I have played a few times when i was younger I'll be 62 in March. We retired in January of 23 decided I would take it up again . We bought two sets at a local sporting goods store. As you know there not much . But much better than the Spalding set I bought of a buddy in the 80s. Any way we're in Illinois so I still have time to decide thanks for your time and effort to put out video's. Sub #74.
Very interesting! Great content

We are very close in swing speeds but you didn't mention how changing shafts effected your swing speeds. Could you share that info also? Thank you
I will get that for you.. I averaged 94 mph with the stiff flex..

I was shocked!!
Take that STIFF SHAFT on the course, big guy!
I couldn’t believe it.. totally unexpected!!

Welcome to the channel! It's great you're getting back into the game!
