I'm just trying to make sure my equipment isn't working against me any more than I am myself. Ya know? I'm not looking for an easy out to my game. That's the whole point of a fitting session, which is one of the biggest things you can do to improve your game. They wouldn't do +- shaft lengths, +- lie angle, different shaft flexes if there didn't need to be the availability to make your clubs work for you and not the other way around. And although a skilled golfer can hit any club, I also believe there wouldn't be the market in club customization that there is if the point of the thing wasn't to make it so that you didn't HAVE to conform to the club. So, at the risk of sounding thick, how is that not a shaft problem? Or am I misunderstanding what you guys are conversing about? When the only difference in the equation is the shaft flex or type, I have to assume that's the problem.Īlso, I understand and agree that a great golfer can hit any club and make it work. That tells me that my form is good.ģ) With my regular shaft, anything I swing over ~75% arcs, which, when combined with the results from the stiffs, tells me that the shaft is flexing too much and the clubhead isn't keeping up. I also experience this problem with a friend's TM RBZ 2.0, which has a stock length, R flex shaft.Ģ) With both stiff shafts, I can swing as hard as I want to and still go straight. So, if flex isn't an issue (or as big of an issue), can you clear something up for me?ġ) Two different drives with S flex shafts, stock length, fly straight, while my R flex, stock length, curves.

I'm not a coach, but the reason you are slicing when you go full speed is you are leaving your hands behind, leaving the club face open. Some drivers, like my X Hot, don't really need to be swung hard.
When I swing 80% its 260+ every time beautiful flight. I too hit my driver with a large hook (although you have a slice) when I try to bomb it. I went from a 10.5* to 9.5* in loft on my driver as well, meaning that I hit it too high with a 10.5* according to my fitter (launch angle around 17* with the 10.5, 14.5* with the 9.5).įunny- you and I sound exactly alike. Go get a mid flight mid kick mid torque and it should suit you just fine, sir. That is an "upper-level" driver you have there. If you are slicing with what you have now, it might be because it is a low torque shaft. It really depends on what you do, but I would say a mid flight will work well for you. Some people have a sweeping swing (me), some people hit it on the up-swing (high ball flight), and some people hit down on the ball (low ball flight). The flight thing is just preference as well as their swing habits. Would that be where the torque rating matters? I assume playing a 9.5* that a would want to stick with mid-flight? How do I tell the difference? I have a fairly slow backswing and a fast downswing (don't know exact), so I'm sure my transition is pretty fast. With my current driver, if I go full power, I pick up the most tremendous slice, but if I slow my swing down and only go ~75-80%, it flies. When I was swinging the TM JetSpeed and the Ping G25 with stiff shafts, I could crank them and it was beautiful. My swing isn't perfect, but it's not too shabby. Other than duffing a wedge every now and then I make pretty consistent contact. I sold the G10 and got a Callaway X Hot 9.5* Stiff flex and it is a thing of beauty. It's expensive and it's time consuming trying to get used to something that isn't right for you. Be careful before you just start putting shafts in your club.
It allows for proper flight, distance, roll, and more. Some argue the right shaft is the most important part of the club.
I recommend you go get fit to see what you need as far as specs go, and then go find the right shaft. I either hit straight, or hook every one of my clubs in my bag except the G10. The ball flight was strange (launched correctly but no roll out) and I had a hard time getting the face of the club square on impact because there was a stiff tip profile and didn't allow the club head to "twist". The ProLaunch Platinum that I put in my G10 was a mid flight- low torque shaft. Also, factor in your transition (how quickly you start your downswing). I got the Graffaloy ProLaunch in another post: When you are considering a new shaft, consider weight and other factors like torque (amount of twisting), flexpoint (where shaft bends - this finetunes ball height), and tip profile (soft to stiff). I got an older model, not the Axis one that you have listed there. I was told I needed a stiff shaft instead of the regular that was in it (I had the club for a while). I just know I was told to look for stiff.
What didn't you like about it? I don't really know anything about how a shaft is built, so the weights and all that is totally foreign to me.
