The reason is the shaft is able to ‘load’ on the downswing and ‘unload’ into the ball…
You can think of it like cracking a whip….you can’t crack a whip with a steel pipe, and it’s very difficult to load a shaft that has a flex that is too stiff for your swingspeed.
So in conclusion, for max distance, get the regular flex shaft.
the best gift would be going to a pro shop (at a local course) and get him a gift certificate for a driver and a fitting.

I have not bought one for 5 years but decided to buy a new Callaway today.
The latest was given to me in September. Usually each fall there is a new one in my bag.
I buy a new driver every 3 years. Currently in the market, but they keep coming out with new features and models. Hard to pull the trigger.
Good Luck.
get him an alloy no.5 driver to help straighten out his shots
brand should be his preference
if you want it to be a surprise take him to the pro shop at his local course on his birthday and get him to select one himself-talk to the pro beforehand and jack it up
What i would do is go to the local golf shop and ask him if they have custom fitting. Most will. If they do, make an appointment and give him a card saying “I have made an appointment for you to get at new drive at ……..time”
He will love it!!!!
The ball usually does not always go straight for anyone playing, including Tiger, no matter what club you choose.
To someone who plays golf regularly as a passion, selecting a driver is like selecting a girlfriend or wife. You have to like how it looks, the sounds it makes as it hits the ball, how it feels, and how it responds to your hands. You should sneakily try to find out which one he prefers. The next time you talk about it, ask him if he thinks a different driver would help and which one he likes the best. Also, the stiffness, length, and type of shaft matters along with the loft of the clubhead.
TaylorMade, Titleist, Ping, Nike, Cleveland, and many other companies make what are considered forgiving drivers with clubhead sizes in the 450cc range. Not all golfers like clubheads that big.
4 years ago, for my birthday, my girlfriend stuck me in the car and took me to the golf shop where I was able to try out many fairway woods and select the two that I wanted. She then took me directly to the driving range and sat patiently watching while I hit a bucket of balls. She had also arranged a tee time for me the next morning. Every time I play golf, I think about what she did for me and tell my playing partners who are envious. This has a lot to do with her longevity and I have yet, in my mind, to do something as important for her but, I keep trying.
