Need help big hitters shaft type

406golfer · January 20, 2019

I'm sure something like this has been posted before but I wasn't seeing it. So I'm trying to find out what shafts some of the longer hitters on the forum are using I'm talking swing speed of 118 and up. What shaft driver combo finally got your spin numbers down?

Aldila Synergy Black Tour Proto 70TX. Low spin king. Going to be hard to find but this thing is the best. I have hit all the Tensei Pro’s, T1100, Graphite Design’s, Kuro Kage, etc. Nothing compares. You can stomp on this thing.

The Callaway Rogue Sub Zero with a Diamana D+ ltd 70 TX-stiff that you built for me and hot melted to D6 was my best combo since my R9 Superdeep way back when. Hit my longest drive ever with the Rogue, 406 yards in the World Golf Scramble in Las Vegas. The F9 with the same shaft I played this season was a spinner. Definitely don't recommend that head. I'm going with either an Epic Flash Sub Zero or Mavrik Sub Zero with the same shaft this season and hoping lightning strikes twice with Callaway.

I swing about 115-118 and I play a kuro kage dual core 70TX in a tour issue m4 head but I’m going to try a m3 head. This combo has been the best driver I’ve had and love love love this shaft

I'm at 121-124 and I use the F9 set at 7.5 with a Hzrdus Yellow 6.5 75 grams tipped an inch. Plays perfect for me right around 2000-2100 rpm's and 13-14 launch.

Rugbydave which head do you have that paired with?

Righty to Lefty · January 14, 2020

Tensei White Prototype with the Blue band on it tipped 2 inches X Flex with a Cally XR16 5 degree Long Drive head turned down to 4 degrees with 40 grams of hotmelt in the head. Low spin monster and a wind beater setup that has worked out really well for me. The hotmelt may have taken a mile per hour or two away but I hit it better so it was a worthy sacrifice and if I really want to reach back I can still ramp it up to 124 mph. Finding the right combination of total weight and swingweight really helped me tremendously.

EvenFlow 65g xstiff with M5 tour head...spin went down to 2,500

Waiting to get on TM with the MAVRIK. Last season I played the 9° Flash SZ set to -1/N with CK Pro White 60TX. I was between 13-15° launch at 1950-2200rpm 177mph ball speed average. Best I got off the face was 184.5mph. I have the same shaft in my MAVRIK right now. Off of visual testing I liked the flight off the 10.5° in that -1/N setting. I can tell you I have only had two range sessions with MAVRIK SZ but the ball is a few yards longer in the air and it is getting some decent distance on the opposite end. I’m headed to AZ tomorrow morning for 5 days. I’ll report back with TM numbers to compare to Flash SZ.

Sldr 430 + synergy black 60tx

I have a 9* tour issue M5. I also play a Tensei Pro Orange 70TX. The PO produces better ball speed for me but the Synergy dispersion is a little tighter. When I'm really on my game, the PO is fantastic. I did get to hit the new SIM with my PO and was very surprised with the numbers. Prolly going to the SIM come tourney season...

Was recently fit for a new driver at True Specs. Club head speed was sitting around 121 and ball speed at 175.

I ended up getting fit for the new Cobra Speedzone with VA Drago 75x shaft. I was a little hesitant about slipping into a Cobra because I've never swung one before, but I'm extremely happy that I went with the fitters recommendation. The Drago shaft showed very tight dispersion and I honestly I feel like the club swings itself now. Shaft demonstrates stiff butt and tip, which my last driver was lacking. Loving the new shaft!

I ended up purchasing the driver through Peoples Golf, who did an amazing job with the build. S/O to them!Cobra Speedzone 10.5 - VA Drago 75x
