Reshafting the 10.5 Rapture

Too much spin w/ the vs proto
Hey folks, this was my gamer last year until I got tired of seeing 3 yards of roll. I gave up and went to the Bridgestone 460 head and have been reasonably happy with it and the vs proto combo. But you know how things go. I am wondering if there are any suggestions for a reshaft on the Rapture that might flatten it a bit and drop the spin some. Sorry I don't have any LM numbers. I am more of a swinger with a moderate transition.
Thanks for the help.

I too share your swing profile and the VS Proto was too spinny for me as well. If you're looking for a fairly inexpensive option, the Grafalloy PL Red will do the trick. However, it may feel a little bit boardy to you coming from the VS Proto and the fact that you're a swinger with a moderate transition. The V2 76 may also help but has also been described as boardy.

 

When you look at shaft characteristics, try to isolate shafts that are tip stiff with mid-high kickpoints. These shafts will bring both the launch and spin down. More expensive options (off the top of my head) would be a Diamana Whiteboard, Matrix F6M2, Aldila Protopye, Fujikura Rombax Z, etc.

 

Good luck.

Years ago I had a PL Blue in a R540. Didn't mind that setup.

The Grafalloy PL Blue is one if the highest launching shafts on the market. Are you sure you don't mean the Grafalloy Blue? Either way, since you can't provide any launch monitor data it's all guesswork anyways.

 

The best thing to do would be to go to a professional clubfitter and save you the headache of trying to find the right combo yourself. Changing shafts on your own can become a very frustrating and expensive exercise unless you really know what you're doing.
