Driver Shaft Help

[jjdo229]

I am about to purchase a PXG driver and I have a few shaft options and I am not sure what shaft to go with. My current driver trajectory is high and I tend to not get much rollout. Im looking to get a low-mid launch with a decent amount of rollout. Im currently using a Hzrdus Smoke Black shaft in my current driver but it just hasnt been doing it for me. My PXG driver shaft options are Aldila Green NXT (65,75), Evenflow Blue (75), Evenflow White (65,75), Hzrdus Smoke Yellow (60,70), and the Fujikura Pro 2.0 (63, 73). Any help or advice you all could give me would be great!

I haven’t looked at a monitor but I would guess my spin rate with the driver is very high. I don’t have a similar issue with any other clubs

If you are hitting it high, look at driver loft and impact location on the face first.

If your are hitting the Smoke Black higher than you want to, it probably is not the shaft as this is pretty low spin, low loft. It is probably more than likely how you are swinging and the loft of the head. I think that the height factors are 75-80% loft and the balance is the shaft - and maybe slightly more loft driven. But this is all dependent on the same swing being applied to different shaft / head combos. One other thing to think about, depending on where you are located, rollout is sometimes over rated. If you play a course that is soft or possibly wet, carry is more important.

To try and answer your specific shaft questions. The green, white are pretty stout. Then the yellow, and the blue is probably the most mid of the list. Sorry - don't have enough info on the Fuji 2.0 so I can't comment on that.
