Here's a great video from golf instructor, Michael Manavian (https://greenwichdxsportslabs.com) on the issue with OEM's continuing to create soft tip golf shafts:
As I have preached since the first edition of Pro Golf Synopsis, driver fitting is a must for any golfer that is serious about improving their handicap regardless of their level of play. My research has found that as the handicap increases, the more important driving becomes with regards to improving your handicap by the greatest margin and permanently improving your scores.
The latest research showed that the average Tour player's driver was 44-3/4" long compared to the OEM drivers which are almost always at least 45" long and more closer to 46" long. But the same goes for the tip stiffness of the golf shaft. And it's impossible to make substantial, long term improvements when you have a shaft that is too long and too tip soft for your swing.
For golfers where money is a little tighter they may not need that iron fitting, particularly if they are using steel shafts. But because driving is so important to amateurs, they really need to be fitted for a driver and in the end, a properly fitted driver will save them money and help them improve their mechanics much more quickly.
