Moving From 95 To 75 Flex

[stuie7 6]

I've often seen this banded around in other threads, however I searched for a "moving down in flex" thread and I couldn't find anything (I'm sure there used to be somewhere :/ - please redirect me if I've gone blind!)

Anyway.. For about 2 years I've been using 95 Flex Dolomite shafts, recently I've picked up a 75 and I've paired them with the same tapered blades so all factors are equal aside from the flex. I've noticed the following differences:

Wrist - Good with 95 / OK with 75

Snap - OK with 95 / Great with 75

Slap - OK with 95 / Great with 75

Does this sound right? I'm not sure how it should work.

I don't think I've consciously changed my technique, but I think I might be moving my lower hand further down on slap shots. If anyone could point out some adjustments to improve my wrist shot with the 75 flex shaft that would be great. I've also noticed with the 75 it seems so easy and quick to get off a snap shot than it was with 95.
