Swing Speed and Shaft Fitting: The Connection You Can’t Ignore
Your swing speed is one of the most important factors in finding the right shaft. Too soft, and you’ll lose control. Too stiff, and you’ll struggle with launch and distance.
Here’s a quick guide:
-
Under 85 mph: Look for lightweight, softer-tip shafts for higher launch.
-
85–100 mph: A balanced mid-launch shaft offers control and speed.
-
100+ mph: Low-launch, low-spin shafts with stable profiles keep your shots tight.
The right match will improve both distance and accuracy. At Build Exotics, we pair swing speed with feel preference, launch needs, and tempo to recommend the perfect shaft.
