Best shafts for M2 driver?

[Cpr3584]

Hello, I would like to know which shafts you would suggest for the Taylormade M2 2016 Driver. For the last year I have played a Diamana D+ 70g X flex at 45 inches. It plays extremely stiff at this length. I should have replaced it months ago but havent played much golf this year until now. My swing speed is at 115mph with driver but I find myself over-swinging with the X-flex which causes duck hooks. If i try to make an easy swing the shaft does not load and it goes right. Suggestions for a stable stiff flex shaft (ideally around 65g weight) I can swing aggressively and hit straighter? thanks!

I'd take a look at the Tensei Pro line. Pretty good torque ratings all depends on what bend profile youd like and flight characteristics. I had my Tensei Pro White 60S in my '17 M2 and it was a good combo

My speed is under yours. The BEST two shafts I have played (and still do play) in that head are: Fuji Speeder 6.2x (the solid dark purple one) and the Aldila Nasty Long 60x.

Diamana blueboard 63x is also awesome in this head and may be more up your alley !!!

Do you have trackman or launch / spin #'s?

If you want a straighter driver .. get the G400 LST 10* head and turn it up to 11* ... good lord ... point and shoot. Pured drives not as long as the 16 m2 but they are in play alllllll daaaayyyyy looooong

Diamana Ltd S+, smooth and stable kick at all tempos, cheap too

At 115mph you're bringing plenty of speed, so it sounds like the bend profile of your Diamana (butt soft, mid/tip stiff) simply does not agree with your swing. I would look at a very different bend profile then to start with, so I don't think the previous recommendations for Speeder 6.2s and Tensei Whites are the right direction. A.Princey's recommendation is a better place to start, something that is closer to being the opposite of what you're struggling with.

I like the profile of the Diamana D+, but I think the problem is the shaft is just too stiff, especially at 45 inches. that extra half inch def makes it easier to load. I went ahead and purchased a Speeder 661 tour spec stiff flex. Its from a TM so it should be tipped one inch. It will play 45.5. Hopefully it will play like a stiff plus and I can make smoother swings without fear of the leaking, weak drives to the right. My favorite driver ever is the old 983K with speeder. so i have good history with those shafts

Same shaft but try the stiff version

As my signature states... I put a Oban Kiyoshi Tour Limited 60X in it and it is a beast.
