Best options for 46 inch driver shaft - who's playing or thinking about it

[Nick_E]

I'm looking to build a 46 inch driver using mca av raw orange x flex with g410 lst.  Like everyone else looking for 2 to 4 mph increase.  I also struggle with launch being too low.  I currently game aldila xtorsion copper tx playing at 45.  SS is 106 to 110, ball speed hovers around 160.

 

Curious if people are using a counter balanced shaft to help with swing weight? 

 

What shafts are you using?

Can always get a lighter weight for the head, also can go mid-size in the grip if you're not doing the CB shaft option. I was playing 44.25" and I've gone up to 45.5" now and just simply subbed out a lighter head weight to keep swing weights same.

You guys are too obsessed w swing weight.

Thanks for the info.  I've tried mid size in the xtorsion and its just too big.  I'm not sure if I like the CB feel or not, but if I don't I'll be adding weight in the butt section as I'd like to keep heavier head for smash factor.

So you don't think swing weight matters?

I just built a 46.75” SIM with Smoke Green tx. I removed the sliding weight from the front and the swing weight is almost exactly D4. 
 

I actually really like the set up so far. Numbers below are with some very beat up range balls. 
 

The Ventus is my black 6x that plays around 45”. It’s my typical gamer shafts. Almost 6mph faster. It’s winter here in Ohio so the season is just about over but I’m hopefully going to do some indoor testing this winter. 
 

Ive played the smoke green before and figured it would be a good shaft to keep the spin down.

This is great, thanks for sharing.  I'm not a beast enough to go with smoke green hulk.  Have fun testing it out.
