Shaft Fitting - Find the Right Bend Point

A number of factors affect how a shaft performs and can help in fitting the right shaft for your game. Perhaps the easiest to understand is "Shaft Bend Point". When a shaft is placed in a Bend Point measuring tool with a specific standard weight on the club head end of the club, a measurement of Bend Point can be made.

For most golfers, you can simply think of three Bend points; High, Medium and Low. A "High" bend point generally indicates a stiffer shaft and will hit the ball lower. A "Mid-bend point" shaft will hit the ball in a Medium high trajectory while a "Low" bend point will hit the ball Higher and the shaft is more flexible.

If you want to change the trajectory or flight of your shots, check the current bend point and then move higher or lower to match the change needed.
