Make sure you don't jerk with the swing. The smoother the arc, the more force is transferred into your shot. Set little benchmarks for yourself and try to improve each day you practice. Most of the amateurs swing their golf club at approximately 85 MPH; whereas, the professionals swing at about 110 MPH or more.
Hit at least 10 shots and determine the average speed of all the swings. Consult a conversion chart, which will indicate the ideal shaft flex for your swing speed. These are some suggested conversions: 85 mph or less -- amateur (A) flex. 80-95 mph -- regular (R) flex. 90-105 mph -- stiff (S) flex.
