Trying to understand Driver shafts

Personally I feel we all individually fit into a "range" of shafts, eg based on weight, flex and torque, and our own perception of the feel during the swing. Our swing tempo can make a big difference, 2 players can have identical swing speeds at impact but how they get there can be totally different.

It's another one of the old clichés that if it's too stiff, the ball will go right, and if the shaft is too soft the ball will hook. With so many thousands of different shafts available, it's been proven time and again that those rigid rules sometimes can be true, but often not.

Bottom line is, there's no industry standards on flex, if we find something that gives us good distance and dispersion, and if we like the looks it's a bonus, that's the "right" shaft for the individual whatever it says on it.
