- a first golf club shaft set with a first shaft flexibility range and configured for a high golfing level;
- a second golf club shaft set with a second shaft flexibility range and configured for a medium golfing level;
- and
- a third golf club shaft set with a third shaft flexibility range and configured for a low golfing level;
- the first shaft flexibility range is greater than the second shaft flexibility range;
- the second shaft flexibility range is greater than the third shaft flexibility range;
