Senior Flex Golf Clubs

Clubs fitted with senior flex shafts, also sold as A flex or lite flex: softer and lighter than regular, so a slower swing can still launch the ball high. The page is strongest in hybrids and hybrid irons, including Majek hybrid irons that run from a 1-hybrid down to a sand wedge, with Orlimar fairway woods, Cleveland and Tour Edge models and lightweight graphite irons alongside.

Fitment and sizing. Senior flex suits driver swing speeds of roughly 70 to 85 mph. A practical test: if your driver carries less than about 200 yards, or your 7-iron less than about 130, senior flex will usually fly higher and farther than regular.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between senior flex and regular flex?

A senior flex shaft bends more and weighs less. At slower swing speeds that extra bend adds launch and distance; at faster speeds it sends shots high and left for a right-hander, right for a left-hander.

Should I swap my irons for hybrids?

Hybrid irons have a wide sole and a low centre of gravity, so they get the ball airborne with less speed. Many players replace the 3 to 6 irons first and keep their short irons.

Is "senior lady" a different flex?

Yes. It is softer again and paired with a shorter club. The women’s page lists those models.
