As you develop your golfing skills, you start to get a real feel for what a difference the flex makes to your strokes. A regular flex (medium flex) golf club offers versatile performance for players with moderate swing speeds on the driver (typically between 85 and 95 mph) and a distance of about 130–150 yards with the 7 iron.

This flex gives you a balance between control and distance. It allows the shaft to load properly during the swing without excessive whipping on impact with the ball, compared to ladies or senior flex. 

Regular flex suits some seniors as it’ll get decent swing speeds, but also helps newer players developing their technique. 

Occasional golfers also find medium flex clubs easier to control while still achieving a fair distance. If you’re a mid-handicap player, seeking decent accuracy, this could be the flex for you.

Not surprisingly, there’s a fantastic second-hand market for excellent regular flex golf clubs. 

Players who are improving might switch to something stiffer for at least some of their clubs, and all players try new brands and designs to find their perfect clubs. With Titleist, Taylormade, Callaway, Cobra, PING and many more brands to choose from, you’ll find your quality, pre-owned regular flex clubs here.
