looking for some driver shaft recommendations

But at least you’ll know. I am/was an engineer (management now). The search for the perfect driver shaft is all about eliminating variables.

 

 

 

I have an M4 and F8+ that weigh exactly the same down to the gram, multiple shafts that for each (M4- KKDC, Rogue 110, Pro Blue; F8+ 73x Blueboard, 60x Tensei Blue)

 

 

 

I know I like the Blue profile, now it’s all about finding the right ball speed, launch, and spin. Will be renting time on a TM next week. I took a few random swings on a TM at TrueSpec with the F8+ and regular Tens Blue - 118mph 275 carry, spin around 3000, weight back - and I hit the middle of the face every single time with this combo.

 

 

 

Ultimate point, I know the swing is there and I know I like a 45” length. Got make the sacrifice to get to where I want to be.

Its not, it is the AV version.

I don't know what numbers you are bringing to the table.  But, if you are looking for a mid launch shaft, I couldn't recommend the AD TP enough.  It is a definite improvement over the AD DI in my eyes.

what numbers are you looking for? i posted I GCQUAD pic in the original post.  Plus, isnt the AD TP more of a low launch shaft? 

 

There are a number of GD shafts on my mind. The IZ, the BB, the MT, they are sound good. I have looked at the TP but it didnt sound like the best fit from my reading. I even thought about getting a YS7 nano. the YS7 was one of my fav shafts of all time.

Lol, still getting used to the new layout.  The picture thumbnail was below your signature for some reason.  At that speed I think it would be pretty decent.  I didn't find it to be low launching at all.  On par with other mid launch shafts I have hit like the Kai'Li and Diamana B Series.  The AD DI compared to them is what I would consider high launching.  The AD TP launched lower than that for sure, but the AD DI seemed really high to begin with.  At least in my experience.

 

My experience is with the 60 gram range.
