What's especially interesting is that Mackenzie reports that for every centimeter of forward deflection the shaft also rotates the face closed 0.7 degrees. As if we didnt have enough to be concerned about already.
Which is why Ben Hogan preferred that his shaft flex be "somewhere between a fence post and a telephone pole".
Larry Nelson played Hogan clubs throughout his PGA TOUR career. The shafts were Apex 5s.
Tipped.
These guys didn't want anything influencing that ClubFACE through Impact except their Flat Left Wrist.
Karsten Solheim at Ping was of the same mind. He offered one shaft flex . . .
Stiff.
Kinda reminds you of Henry Ford and his Model T: "You can have any color you want, as long as its black."
