Will a stiffer shaft reduce spin?

So the stiffer the shaft and/or more tip stiff the shaft in relation to your clubhead speed and point of release, the less the shaft bends forward at impact and the more that shaft becomes a lower launch and lower spin shaft.

What is the lowest spin golf shaft?

Observations: The Fujikura Pro TS and the Graphite Design M9003 combined to produce the lowest spin for 4 (2 each) of the testers.

Does shaft affect spin?

For irons and drivers, the shaft type and its characteristics can have a significant effect on the sensation a player experiences during the swing and impact, while also influencing the launch and spin characteristics that can be achieved.

What happens if your shaft is too stiff?

If your golf shaft is too stiff and your swing speed is too slow, your well-struck shot will be limited on both carry distance and shot trajectory; a too-stiff golf shaft will most often lead to weak fades or slices.

Why is low spin good in a driver?

Typically, low-spin drivers are ideal for golfers with higher swing speeds who are able to get the ball in the air. Be aware, however, that if you don’t hit the ball very high, losing spin can actually effect a ball’s ability to stay in the air and could cost you distance.

Are low spin drivers less forgiving?

Spin can be your friend if you struggle to get the ball in the air off the tee. A driver designed to promote a high launch with optimal spin will increase carry distance, which in turn should lead to longer drives. The low and back weight position also tends to be more forgiving on off-center strikes.

What causes high spin on driver?

Most recreational golfers have a negative attack angle, but a major source of their excessive spin comes from swinging over the top with an open face.

Are stiff shafts harder to hit?

The main difference is that a stiff shaft is harder to bend than a regular shaft. The more force you create in your golf swing (higher swing speed) the stiffer you will want your shaft.
