reflectionbaygolf.com - Most people realized how the shaft affects long clubs but are not sure about wedges. You don't swing that hard or take a big backswing. Well, it still makes a difference. As Brad explains in this video, the softer tip shaft gives the club a little "help" at the bottom which throws the ball higher in the air. For Brad that is not good because he has high swing speeds and already hits the ball high. But for many golfers they may need the extra "help" getting the ball higher. Custom fitting is always the way to go.
