Typically a person with a quick swing will "load" a stiff shaft and a person with a slow swing will get better lag from a regular flex shaft. I am not talking about clubhead speed at impact but more about the flexing the club does as it rotates around the body during the swing. Generally the stiffer the shaft, the less "kick" which means shorter distance but less dispersion up to a point. I use "typical and generally" as the "standard out-of-the-box" answer to your question but as many here will tell you, the key is to have a proper fitting and see how the data reads on TrackMan to really know what you need. Don't just look at the flex. Shaft weight and flex point are also important and differ between brands/lines of shafts. If you are going to purchase the T200 without a fitting, you may or may not get your desired results, it will just be a guess. Hope it works out for you.

Dale is right. I like the point he made about shaft loading.Also to his point, all stiff shafts are not created equal. I had the Project X 6.0 in my current png irons. I was fitted for them and the fitter tried to talk me out of the PX shaft, but I didn't listen.I had the same PX shafts in a set of TM blades and loved them. What I neglected to think about was my age. I was in my mid 40's when I played the blades, and 60 when i ordered my current set.

Point is the PX 6.0 is really stiff. I had a png proprietary shaft put in, the ZZ65 stiff.Best move I ever made.

Sounds like you are considering a couple used sets. Dale is right about the shafts. Just considering the flex is about as helpful as deciding between right or left handed. Hopefully the clubs you are considering are local so you can hit a few to get a feel for them. If not, you better check the serial numbers through Titleist for the build specs. If they were ordered they may have varying loft, lie, length, etc that may not work for you. Personally I would never consider a used set without having given them a thorough tryout, or at least playing something with the same shaft & build specs. You might be saving a few bucks, but you might get a set that does not work for your swing. If you've ever been through a fitting session, you know you don't need to be very far into the game to realize how much proper fitted clubs will benefit your game. FYI, each time I went through a fitting for irons we tried at least 8 different shafts and noted as many different results.

Please go get a fitting and you will get all your answers. You will be a very happy golfer in the end. With respect.

I would highly recommend and outdoor fitting with a Trackman or similar monitor. You want to be 100% sure.

All I can say is there is nothing like the anticipation of new gear only to find out its not adequate for your swing...

I left golf for 9 years (I am 49) and bought new AP3 clubs last year... everything stiff..... went to a lesson with my CPGA pro and we found out R300's better fit can load the club and get whip now and swing less hard compared to the S300 AP3's .... back is not as sore anymore...... you get the gist....

And driver... hit mean fades..... stiff shaft.... went to regular.... hit soft draws sometimes and hit the fairways 75% of the time (15 handicap) Love my TS2 driver

Honestly best to get fit its a bummer spending money on clubs you may think might not work....

good luck

I would suggest that you go see a Titleist fitter. He/She will have the knowledge and the extra shafts and club heads to get you into the right club for your swing.
