For you guys asking for a help in picking a shaft!

[j.b.newton]

Joe or anyone for that matter:

Need some help deciding. Im trying to CHEAPLY start into reshafting. I have a SQ Dymo 9.5 (AxivCore Black 69 S) that I would like to work on.

SS: 112, Very high ball flight
Play once/twice a week with a 7 of 10 consistency of swing and fast tempo. Looking to lower ball flight and reduce spin. (In the middle of BFE, so no launch monitor near). I know i need a high bend point, low torque, but not sure of the specifics:

Narrowed choices to the following (all ~ $50 current sales price), and need some ideas on the shafts:

ProLaunch Red 65 X
NV 75 X
ProForce V2 75 X
GD YS-7 X

HELP!!

Answer; i can't help without LM data and filling up the questionnaire properly.

Hi Joe,

(as requested) I wonder if you could direct me to an appropriate shaft

I have recently purchased a GS Tour 15* Sonartec head as a replacement for a SS-2.5 13* I bought for use off the Tee as I was having no luck finding a driver that worked for me. Now I have (Royal Collection Star fd 11.5*) I need to change my 3W to make it easier getting off the fairway.

General questionnaire:
How often you play in a month? [b]– 6 to 7 times[/b]
How often you practice in a month? [b]Currently 2x or more a week[/b]
How consistent do you think your swing are in a scale 1-10 ( 10 being the best )? It won't matter good or bad consistency. [b]- 5 mostly rising to 7 on a good patch[/b]

3W fitting questionnaire:

1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, length, etc ) [b]– it's 13* / Fujikura 26.3 (Tour Platform series) made for Sonartec / length from top of grip to joining head (where the hozel cover meats the head) 41" / I'm unsure of the swing weight / model Sonartec SS-2.5[/b]
2. What type of swinger are you ( smooth or quick tempo swinger )? Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader?

[b]Club speed average 90.6 (highest 99.7 --> 93.3)
Ball speed 129.3
Spin rate (was high though it should be better now) 4209
Smash factor 1.43[/b]

[b]Taken on a TrackMan and to be honest on the day these were taken I was not on a purple patch but then again consistency is not my forte. If I let the club do the work and slow down I don't force the swing and it's silky smooth thus I get the better distance and dispersion. If, as is not uncommon I speed up then I get a snatched swing with my right shoulder being thrown over the top (left low hook – ugly so ugly)[/b]

Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader?[b] – not sure what you mean – if you mean do I full turn and crash down on the ball no I turn well but tend to sweep the ball away[/b]
3. What is your handicap [b]– 16.6[/b]
and on a scale 1-10 how consistent is your swing? – [b]5 mostly rising to 7 on a good patch[/b]
where is your striking ability? – [b]I'm unsure what you mean[/b]
4. What is the problem w/ the existing set up? - [b]I have little problem getting the ball into the air normally but at 13* I struggle off the fairway (but boy did it go far when off a Tee)[/b]
5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM (flightscope LM is one of my best recommendation)? ( swing speed, launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, Swing path, Attack angle, side spins, etc?) [b]These numbers has to come from the existing club or the club that you are trying to fix or buy. IMPORTANT & A MUST![/b]

[b]These are my average readings 18 months ago using a TM Burner 14.5* on a Matrix Ozik X-Con 7 Stiff Taken on a TrackMan [/b]

[b]CLUB - club speed 90.6 / attack angle -2.4 / club path -6.0 (improved greatly) / Vert swing plane 47.8 / Horiz swing plane -8.4 (again much better now) [/b]

[b]LAUNCH – Ball speed 129.3 / Smash factor 1.43 / Vert swing plane 11.0 / Horiz swing plane -7.5 (again much better now) / Spin 4209 (I'm sure that improved with the Sonartec)[/b]

[b]LANDING – Height 24.1 / Carry 180.1 (though more than half were 200+ readings) / side -27.7 Flight time 5.44 / Landing Angle 35.9 [/b]

6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? [b]Keep the distance to 200 – 210 yards but get it air bourn off the fairway[/b]
7. What is your shots tendency on mistakes when you are not playing so good? – [b]They go 65% low left hook 35% high right (slicing) [/b]
Do you have any problem missing a shots on the face of the club? – [b]can be off the toe or near the hozel on occasion but that is usually when I'm speeding up and snatching at my swing[/b]
8. What is your shots tendency (ball flight) that you like when you are playing good? - [b]I tend to hit a high profile and pretty straight though I'm getting the occasional draw now[/b]
9. What type of course condition you are playing most? – [b]the course is a parkland one (Sand Moor GC) and moorland mixture which dries well but seems not to dry out. Well kept private club not long but accuracy is needed big time [/b]
Where are you from? [b]Leeds in the UK[/b]
10. Body build and postures? height? etc. – [b]I weigh 226, I'm 6' 2", pretty upright though like most tall people I do have a tendency to hunch up, I'm not very muscular but am well built (OK running to a little plump but I'm working on that – best weight I'll get to is 220lb)[/b]
11. What is your glove size? [b]Large to XL I have big hands [/b]- need size estimate even if you don't use glove.
12. If you have to be honest, who your swing look like on PGA tour? at least who do you like it to be? [b]Without a shadow of a doubt Ernie Ells with a good dollup of Tom Watson[/b]
13. etc. The more the better it become.

Any suggestions you can give will be appreciated - thanks for your time

Answer: LM data is not complete. And It looks like your attack angle causing you to spin the ball to much.

[Guest]

Hello - i'm new here and would be very interested in the result of this questionnaire.

General questionnaire:
How often you play in a month? [b]5 - 6 rounds[/b]
How often you practice in a month? [b]twice a week[/b]
How consistent do you think your swing are in a scale 1-10 ( 10 being the best )? It won't matter good or bad consistency.[b] pretty consistent - probably 8-9[/b]

Driver fitting questionnaire:

1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, lenght, etc ) [b]Titleist 909 D2, 9.5 degree, Matrix Ozic Code 6, don't know flex but I think S or X, don't know swingweight, standard length, plus 1/16 grip size[/b]
2. What type of swinger are you ( smooth or quick tempo swinger )? Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader? [b]Fast tempo - think Nick Price but a little slower in a larger body. Heavy loading[/b]
3. What is your handicap and on a scale 1-10 how consistent is your swing?where is your striking ability? [b]Index is 3.6. Swing is consistent, but any given day might be a little different. I can hook or fade on purpose ball striking wise, but I still have mis hits on occasion[/b]
4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up? [b]I want more accuracy[/b]
5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM (flightscope LM is one of my best recommendation)? ( swing speed, launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, Swing path,Attack angle, side spins, etc?) [b]These numbers has to come from the existing club or the club that you are trying to fix or buy. IMPORTANT & A MUST![/b] [b]Yes - but I don't have the data. I've had clubs made by a fitter who uses Flightscope. I don't remember details from my iron or driver fittings, but I recently had a 4 wood made. What I can remember was the swingspeed was around 106 -107, the smash factor around 1.6, 1.7. The ball spin was good (no idea what, but the fitter liked it). My launch angle is low compared to what the fitter wanted.[/b]
6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? [b]I would take less distance for more garanteed straight. I don't need distance, but it seems every fitting program is trying to maximize distance. If someone gave me a 2x4 with aclubhead at the end of it that went straight 250 every time, I'd take in a heartbeat.[/b]
7. What is your shots tendency on mistakes when you are not playing so good? Do you have any problem missing a shots on the face of the club? where? [b]My issue is with swingplane. I compensate with hands. When my timing is good, my usual shape is a draw. If my timing is bad, I mostly hook the ball, with an occasional straight push to the right.[/b]
8. What is your shots tendency (ball flight) that you like when you are playing good? [b]I draw the ball. I can weaken my grip and fade on purpose if I'm playing well. In either case I like a low ball flight - I play a 9.5 degree, and hit the ball lower than most fitters want, but I llike the result.[/b]
9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from? [b]I'm from the northeast. My home course is a Donald Ross course that's pretty short. 6,670 yards, 73.7 rating, 139 slope. I only hit driver twice on the front 9. Tee shot in play means everything. Second shots are usually short irons. greens are very sloped and lighting fast. I also play in Ponte Vedra FL, including TPC Sawgrass.[/b]
10. Body build and postures? height? etc. [b]6'1", and much fatter than I used to be at 215 lbs . Athletic. Slighly rounded upper back. Vary flexible arms, legs back. Hips are not flexible.[/b]
11. What is your glove size? need size estimate even if you don't use glove. [b]Left hand cadet medium large[/b]
12. If you have to be honest, who your swing look like on PGA tour? at least who do you like it to be? [b]I'm not sure this is accurate given my size, but in lessons teachers would frequently pull up Nick Price for side by side comparisons.[/b]
13. etc. The more the better it become.

Iron fitting Questionnaire:

[color="#000080"]After working out for couple month and gained some strength, driver tend to hit draw and push (really straight push)... and can't really know where it's going if I really try to load the shaft. But if I take it back like 60-70%, it goes quite straight or a slight draw... [/color]
5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM (flightscope LM is one of my best recommendation)? ( swing speed, launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, Swing path,Attack angle, side spins, etc?) [b]These numbers has to come from the existing club or the club that you are trying to fix or buy.

[color="#000080"]Nope, never been on a launch monitor before and it's hard to look for one[/color]

6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up?
[color="#000080"]Trying to get it to land more fairway and be able to load it while knowing where it will go (stability is the key).

7. What is your shots tendency on mistakes when you are not playing so good? Do you have any problem missing a shots on the face of the club? where?
[color="#000080"]Slight draw. Miss hits tend to be slightly towards the toe, but not much. Usually quite consistent[/color]

[color="#000080"]Hm... Tiger? I'm not sure if our swings look alike but been trying to shape my swing towards that since I feel his tempo most resembles mine... lol... yeah I wish~~~
[/color]
13. etc. The more the better it become.
[color="#000080"]I prefer shafts from Diamana, Graphit Design or perhaps Matrix?
I'm looking for something gives me low to medium launch with low spin. I don't really know what my SS is but with the current setup i'm getting about 270 carry and I'm still trying to increase it.
Primary goal is being able to load the crap out of the shaft when I need to without worrying about it flying left and right (at least just one directional miss). Something I have in mind is the upcoming Ahina 60x, Fubuki 60x or Matrix TPHD?? (heard a lot of good thing about this but am not sure)??

Thank you very much for your time.
Really appreciate your feedback.

[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][b]General Questionnaire[/b][/color][/size]
[color="#1c2837"][b]
[/b][/color][size="2"][color="#1c2837"][/color][/size][color="#1c2837"][b]How often you play in a month? [/b]Typically 16-20 rounds a month. 288-360 holes a month. I'm a college student on a tight budget, so now that school has started, I'm down to sometimes as little as 8 rounds a month and 144 holes a month. Sometimes, I'll play 27-36 holes a round, depending on school work, time of day, and how I feel. If I'm havin a lot of mishits, I'll play 27 holes and typically take 2 balls on each hole to fix mishits[b].

[/b][/color]
[color="#1c2837"][b]How often you practice in a month? [/b]I used to despise the range, and never go. As of recently, I have been able to really work on my shots on the range. I'll typically take 50-75 balls down range before each round.[/color]
[color="#1c2837"][/font][/color][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
[/b][/color]
[color="#1c2837"][b]How consistent do you think your swing is in a scale 1-10? [/b]When in a save situation, punching, gettin around trees, hard draw, hard fade, consistency is a 10. When hitting a routine shot off the fairway, consistency is 5-6. Mediocre difficulty shots are my weakness. When I need to pull a big save, my GIR% is near 100%. When approaching from the middle of the fairway, GIR% is 40-50%. I try gettin the ball right on the pin and typically choke up too much on the club on straight-away approaches, leavin myself short of the green.[/color]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]

[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
[/b][/color][/size][/font][size="2"][color="#1c2837"][/color][/size][size="2"][color="#1c2837"][b]1. What is the club existing set up? [/b]Callaway FTiQ 9.5 Degree TOUR Fubuki 63x5 44.5". I had it shortened 1/2", which I regret now.[/color][/size]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
2. What type of swinger are you? [/b]Quick tempo, but I'm workin on slowin it down. Fairly heavy load, and load increases as I increase flexibility.[/color][/size][/font]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
3. What is your handicap, and on a scale 1-10 how consistent is your swing? Where is your striking ability? [/b]Handicap 15-17. Swing Consistency 7-8. Ball Striking 8-9 now that I'm playing blades.[/color][/size][/font]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
4. What is the the problem with the existing set up? [/b]My miss is a high launch pull-fade[b].[/b][/color][/size][/font]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? [/b]Yes. Swing Speed 108-110mph. Good Launch 11-12 degrees. Bad Launch 14-15 degrees. Ball Speed 170-180mph I think. Spin Rate usually around 200rpms fade. Swing Path Out-In around 5-6 degrees.[/color][/size][/font]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? [/b]Low Launch Carryin Push-Draw. The launch should be fixed in my ball address, but I am uncomfortable putting the ball more neutral in my stance with a driver[b].[/b][/color][/size][/font]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
7. What is your shots tendency on mistakes when you are not playing so good? Do you have any problem missing a shots on the face of the club? where? [/b]Fairly hard pull, then fairly hard fade. I strike the ball clean on the face due to playing blades, but I can't get the face square. I pop my wrists too hard. Too compensate, I rush my shoulders into the ball, causing out-in swing path and closed face.[/color][/size][/font]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
8. What is your shots tendency that you like when you are playing good? [/b]Slight pull-fade, but that's not the shape I want to achieve.[/color][/size][/font]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from? [/b]Texas Country Clubs. Nicely manicured courses in typically GREAT weather, but I'm playin come rain or shine. I ain't scared.[/color][/size][/font]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
10. Body build and postures? [/b]VERY athletic. Squat 610lbs, Deadlift 560lbs, Bench 300lbs. Athletic posture. Wide stance. 6' 0" on a good day with spikes. 200lbs to 210lbs if it's been a McDonald's week.[/color][/size][/font]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
11. What is your glove size? [/b]I should wear a large, but I feel a tight fittin medium helps me loosen my grip. My grip is typically too tight. The sayin goes, "Pretend the grip is a bird. You don't wanna kill it, but you don't want it to fly away." I typically squeeze the bird until the intestines come out the anus.[/color][/size][/font]
[size="2"][color="#1c2837"][font="verdana, tahoma, arial, sans-serif"][b]
12. If you have to be honest, who's swing does your swing look like on PGA tour? [/b]Rory McIlroy's address, backswing, and foreswing + Tiger Woods old swing finish = Me. I'm Rory all the way except the finish. I really try to extend through the finish with my knees, like Tiger used to. Kind of a "jump" without jumpin.

Answer: Your info is not quite complete here. I assumed you are not playing an X flex shaft. You might want to try this first and make sure the right size of grip.

SS: 89-95

Spin Rate: 4500

I currently own and bag (regrettably) a TM 4H 22*, with a regular 65g REAX shaft... and i hook the HECK out of it... its a pure hook unless I set up with the head way open.. then I hit it a mile in the air...

Anyway hope you can help me out!

Thanks!

Answer, Try everything on a firm or S flex. I'm almost sure that you spinrate are coming from a steep attack angle. So you will need to fix that with your pro.

answer: Something is not right on the LM data IMO. if the SS is right, you will need a XX flex.

[b]General Questionnaire[/b]

[b]How often you play in a month? [/b]Right now only on the weekends, so 8-10 times per month, but in the summer it will be 4-5 times per week

[b]How often you practice in a month? [/b]Every day, sometimes even 2-3 times a day.

[b]How consistent do you think your swing is in a scale 1-10? [/b]I have a very consistent swing; the only trouble I have is with my timing (due to not playing for a year when I lived abroad) and sometimes come over the top. 8 out of 10

[b]Driver Fitting Questionnaire[/b]

[b]1. What is the club existing set up? [/b]TM Tour Burner TP (2008) 8.5* with x-stiff "made for" diamana shaft tipped 0.5"

[b]2. What type of swinger are you? [/b]Smooth, straight up and down

[b]3. What is your handicap, and on a scale 1-10 how consistent is your swing? Where is your striking ability? [/b]5 handicap, but plan on improving on that shortly; I tend to hit the sweet spot a lot, but with my irons I am closer to the heel.
[b]4. What is the the problem with the existing set up? [/b]I hit the ball way too high and it goes no where into the wind. The driver is set up for a fade but when I hit a fade it just balloons with probably a 15 degree+ launch angle. If I close the face and hit a draw then I will get a slightly lower (but still high) ball flight and slightly better (lower) spin with some roll. The problem is that it is hard to play a draw consistently with this head and I will sometimes hook it, pull it hard or hit a huge slice when trying to do so. I never know which way I am going to miss which gets me into more trouble.
[b]5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? [/b]Yes, but I don't remember. Swing Speed around 110mph
[b]
6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? [/b]Low Launch and low spin. Right now it is impossible to play a fade, because I will get a balloon slice

[b]7. What is your shots tendency on mistakes when you are not playing so good? Do you have any problem missing a shots on the face of the club? where? [/b]I miss the ball both left and right. I sometimes miss on the bottom of the face but that is due to lack of focus and I only lose distance because of it and nothing directional. My directional misses come from accidentally coming over the top (too quick) or not turning my wrists over.
[b]8. What is your shots tendency that you like when you are playing good? [/b]Straight ball (I can hit it very straight with all my clubs).
[b]9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from? [/b]Texas bermuda in any weather.[b]
10. Body build and postures? [/b]Athletic posture. narrow stance. 6' 4" 215lbs.

[b]11. What is your glove size? [/b]medium

[b]12. If you have to be honest, who's swing does your swing look like on PGA tour? [/b]Ernie Els. A LOT of random people tell me that I have a very nice swing and I have never heard anyone ever receive a similar comment. That must mean that I have a very smooth swing.

Other Info: I hit the ball way too high with all of my clubs: irons with DG X100 included. It is not a swing fault, because I once put in an 85g v2 x-stiff into a bore-through Sonartec SS-01 head and I hit that thing way too low; so I know that equipment can solve my problem. I also have a Sonartec SS-03 with an Aldila NV 85 x-stiff that gets great trajectory with good roll when hit properly. I think that I am simply too tall and maybe my swing is more up and down rather than around. Plus the stock diamana shaft is probably garbage.

I am looking for shaft options that will drastically reduce my launch angle as well as spin rates. Is the TBTP even a good head? I may buy a new driver all together, such as the FT Tour or a Titleist 909 D3, but I would rather just change out the shaft if their are any cheap options such as the UST V2? I would rather not spend $300 on a shaft to find out that the head doesn't fit me. I will spend $300 on shaft if you can recommend a good head for me (straight ball with low spin and low launch).
I bought a used Cobra S9.1D 8.5 in x-stiff with stock ozik 6, and the ball flight is great, but that club is impossible to control and it is tough to not slice OB every now and then; and some misshits will go shorter than my 9 iron.

Thank you.

Answer: I can't help without LM data and complete info.

Answer: You need to raise your LA from a higher lofted dirver to around at least 12*, 13* if you do missed them on the low side. Definitely work on attack angle to keep the spin rate around 3000 or lower.

[johnnymo]

How often you play in a month? Roughly eight rounds a month

How often you practice in a month? About 3 times a week

How consistent do you think your swing are in a scale 1-10 ( 10 being the best )? It won't matter good or bad consistency. I would say 8/10


Driver fitting questionnaire:

1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, lenght, etc ) FT-9 10.5 45" Regular flex made for Fuji zcom 60

2. What type of swinger are you ( smooth or quick tempo swinger )? Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader? Smooth one planer with what I would assume as a light loader.

3. What is your handicap and on a scale 1-10 how consistent is your swing?where is your striking ability? 10 handicap, consistent swing and better than average ball striking.

4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up? bad dispersion, whippy feel to the shaft, high amounts of spin leading to ballooning on occasion.

5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM (flightscope LM is one of my best recommendation)? ( swing speed, launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, Swing path,Attack angle, side spins, etc?) [b]These numbers has to come from the existing club or the club that you are trying to fix or buy. IMPORTANT & A MUST![/b]
I have been on a few different monitors but the names escape me. The last one used a dot decal on the ball to determine the figures. SS 105mph, LA 14.6 deg, ball speed 148, spin average 3900 rpm.

6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? My r9 4w with an made for fujikura motore 70 in xstiff is quite literally perfect in regards to ball flight, trajectory, and dispersion. I want a driver/shaft set up that gives me the same results.

7. What is your shots tendency on mistakes when you are not playing so good? Do you have any problem missing a shots on the face of the club? where? I can get a little flat and overzealous and produce a pretty wicked hook (once every couple of rounds) but more often I can get a little behind and miss right with a straight push. As far as misses in relation to the face I have been noticing that my misses tend to be above the sweet spot on the face.

8. What is your shots tendency (ball flight) that you like when you are playing good? Medium height, very penetrating ball flight, very slight draw.

9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from? Here in California I play a very wide variety of conditions, literally anything from borderline snow in high altitudes, to wet soggy humid, to extremely hot and dry.

10. Body build and postures? height? etc. Athletic 6'

11. What is your glove size? need size estimate even if you don't use glove. Cadet Medium Large

12. If you have to be honest, who your swing look like on PGA tour? at least who do you like it to be? I try to model my swing after Matt Kuchar but I have been told my swing is similar to Justin Leonard

13. etc. The more the better it become. I have been experimenting with a TM SF Tp with a stiff rip in it but the open face just is not for me and the shaft does not seem to be a goood fit either. Like I mentioned I really love my r9 4w with the xstiff motore 70, even if it is a made for it seems to provide the perfect amount of feedback throughout my swing and my confidence level with it is astronomically higher than with either driver. I was thinking about checking out the TM superdeep because of my misses being above the sweet spot on the face and what has to be a very high spin rate but I am a little worried about them because the rip is the stock shaft offering.

Thanks in advance

answer: You need to play with a S flex mid kick shaft and low spin firmer tip type of shaft. Definitely work on attack angle to make sure not steep.
