Lightweight Low Spinning Driver Shaft?

[swaldron]

As I get older, the pursuit of clubhead speed is getting more important. I'm looking for a lightweight, low spinning driver shaft. By lightweight, I mean 65 grams or less. Thanks in advance.

Aldila Tour Rogue Silver 60

Aldila Rip Alpha. 62g - 3.2 Torque (Regular)

MFS M4 Black Tie. 64g - 3.5 Torque (Regular)

Tour AD-BB 6SR. 64g - 3.2 Torque (Stiff/Reg)

 

There are a TON of shafts under 65g with low/mid launch and low/mid spin, but those 3 are really solid ones, good feel and response. I don't really get why you need a Low spinning shaft if your SS is dropping tho, as you would like to launch higher with more spin if it decreases?

My clubhead speed is about 100 but I typically have spin rates that are a little too high, can't remember the exact numbers. I usually play stiff, have a relatively quick tempo and transition at the top. Plus, I just like lighter weight shafts but I don't want something that is lightweight but geared toward slower swing speeds that need the extra spin. My hcp is 1.

Thanks for the quick responses. What about Miyazaki?

Here's a super light weight, 40g. Rated Low/mid spin, low/mid launch. And the price is nice too!

Proforce vts black 5 stiff. Tip half an inch. Real lightweight and low spin

Matrix Black Tie 6M3 or 6M4

Any light shaft will work

ATTAS 4U 5S its about 55 grams and low spin high launch. Expensive though, I have one in my SLDR 430 9.0 and it bombs. Find a used one maybe.

Kuro Kage is available in the 50g range.

That's actually 69 gm, so although it is a nice shaft, it's over the OP's requested limit.

 

A few choices already mentioned in the 60-65 gm range but not really a lot of really low launch/spin choices below 60 gm.

 

IF you can find it, Aldila has a 55 gm version of the Tour-JV Green - originally designed exclusively for the Asian market.

 

The classic NV 55 is always a solid choice.

 

Fujikura Blur 005 is also supposedly pretty low launching for it's weight.

stuart g, you are right.

Thanks for the correction.

 

OP, Miyazaki Kusala Series Black 61 seems like it might fit the bill.

Not sure on spin, but it's a low launch, high kick point shaft.

BiMatrix S-flex comes in right at 65g if I'm not mistaken.

The best 65 gram low spinner I've ever hit was Mitsubishi IverX

Project x LZ 6.0 50g

Aldila Rogue Silver 125 MSI is right around 65 grams in the TS flex and should do a decent job of knocking off some spin. The Aldila RIP Phenom NL 60 is another good option that comes in around the requested weight and will also knock some spin off. Then of course, there's the Diamana 'ahina 60, D+ 60, and W Series 60 which are all lower launching and spinning options from MRC. You could also go with a Motore Speeder Tour Spec 6.2 or a Fuel 60 Tour Spec.
