[TheSecondZ]

First, I'd like to say thank you to Joe for taking all the time to answer these questions. Any help would be much appreciated.

General questionnaire:
How often you play in a month? [color="#ff0000"]Right now, twice a month. But during the summer 4-5 times a week[/color]
How often you practice in a month? [color="#ff0000"]Same as playing[/color]
How consistent do you think your swing are in a scale 1-10 (10 being the best )? [color="#ff0000"]Probably 8-8.5[/color]
Driver fitting questionnaire:

1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, length, etc ) [color="#ff0000"]TaylorMade SuperQuad 9.5, ProLaunch Red 65S, 45", D2[/color]
2. What type of swinger are you ( smooth or quick tempo swinger )? Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader? [color="#ff0000"]Medium to quick tempo, medium to heavy loader[/color]
3. What is your handicap and on a scale 1-10 how consistent is your swing? where is your striking ability? [color="#ff0000"]Hdcp: 1, striking ability probably 8-9[/color]
4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up? I wouldn't say my drives are too high, but too much spin makes it balloon instead of flattening out
5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM[b]
[/b]

[b] LM Numbers (These are actually for a 9.5 Titleist 910 in neutral A1 setting with 'Ahina 72X [/b]

[color="#ff0000"]SS: 113[/color]

[color="#ff0000"]Ball Speed: 158[/color]

[color="#ff0000"]Launch: 9.6[/color]

[color="#ff0000"]Spin: 3105[/color]

[color="#ff0000"]Carry: 272[/color]

[color="#ff0000"]Total Distance: 283[/color]

6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? [color="#ff0000"]Higher launch, lower spin[/color]
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="#ff0000"] I would say I tend to push drives (get stuck) and miss low or a little towards the toe.[/color]
8. What is your shots tendency (ball flight) that you like when you are playing good? [color="#ff0000"]I'm usually a higher ball hitter, but for some reason, I like hitting slightly lower shots, because I feel it helps me keep it straighter. I prefer a low-ish (10 degree launch) slight draw[/color]
9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from? [color="#ff0000"] I'd say I play in all kinds of conditions. I'm from near Philadelphia, PA, but I'm currently in North Carolina for college.[/color]
10. Body build and postures? height? etc. [color="#ff0000"]Medium build: 6'1", 165 lbs[/color]
11. What is your glove size? need size estimate even if you don't use glove. [color="#ff0000"]Large[/color]
12. If you have to be honest, who your swing look like on PGA tour? at least who do you like it to be? [color="#8b0000"] [color="#ff0000"]It used to look a lot like Tiger's old swing. Now I'm not really sure.[/color][/color]
13. etc. The more the better it become. [color="#ff0000"]I'm not sure what brand launch monitor I used, but I feel like it might've been a little off. It kept saying I had a 1.38 or 1.39 smash factor, even though I could feel I was hitting the ball in the center of the face almost every time (impact tape also confirmed this). I also am used to realistically averaging 290 (including roll) on the golf course, yet I couldn't hit it further than 285 on the launch monitor even when I pured it. I'm thinking I'll probably need to move from stiff to xstiff. I currently have a tour issued Superdeep 9.8* head, that i'm trying to find a shaft for. I couldn't find shafts with the R9 adapter, which is why I used the Titleist fitting cart to get LM numbers.[/color]

Answer: I'm sure your attack angle play big roll on your spin. No shaft could help you on this issue if you cant fix your attack angle IMO. I would prefer to see you around 11* LA. I would try a mid launch low spin shaft if I were you.

My 909D2 lunches higher than the Supertri at about 15* and is about a 260 carry avg. A lower lunching shaft recomendation for my 909 which has the stock Voodoo.

Answer: Try a higher kick point stiffer tip shaft. Bring it down to around 12* LA, the spin should automatically down to below 3000rpm easily.

Hey Joe,

I am 6'3" about 200. I have very long arms and a long smooth swing. I was tested last spring by hotstix, but I dk what monitor he was using. I had a 9* R7 clone with an X shaft (Graffaloy blue) and was swinging over 135 mph consistently and getting 6000+ RPM EVERY time. I had many over 7,500RPM. He didn't have any shaft's stiffer than mine and said I need the stiffest shaft I could find and a lower lofted club, but he wasn't a long drive guy. I have always hit the ball very high. I have been working on my swing a lot since than and know it is much faster (140+) but can't afford to get tested. I shoot in the low 80's on a good day, my swing is good, my short game is not. I would say I swing a bit like Ernie Els but I have very good flexibility so I take it back till the club is pointing at the ground, like Sadlowski. When I miss hit I usually hit it on the toe I think. I have a large glove size. If you want I can also email a short video of my swing.

Thanks so much for any help!
Mark

In the Summer i play 20-25 times a month and practice 20 or so (Im only 19) 1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, lenght, etc ) [b]Taylormade Burner 09 10.5* . Aldila NV 65 S. 46 inches and i think its around D3 (I might be switching to the Adams 9064 or the Ping G15 soon though)[/b]

3. What is your handicap and on a scale 1-10 how consistent is your swing?where is your striking ability? [b]HCP -5. I would say right now im about a 8.5 on consistency. The Driver is a weaker club but i usually hit it fairly well[/b]
4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up? [b]Looking for something new. Its been through a lot. I also think the spin is just a tad high. I think I could be leaving yards out there[/b]
5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM? [b]Ping's inFlight system. and Yes.[/b]6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? [b]I like to miss right and i want to keep it that way. I also would like to lower the spin a bit[/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 with a fade. I like to play it straight and if anything else a 2 yd draw. If i miss anywhere on the face, it is the toe[/b]

[Lefty_3Jack]

Hey Joe!

Any help would be appreciated. Looking to change out shaft in Superfast. Looking for something heavier that might help with accuracy/striking.

General questionnaire:
How often you play in a month? 2-3 times a week during the season.
How often you practice in a month? 2 times a week, all year round
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. Lob-8 = 9i, 7i-6i 6, 5i-Driver 5



Driver fitting questionnaire:

1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, lenght, etc ) Superfast 10.5°, Stock X-Con Stiff shaft butt cutt 1" (no swing weight adjustment) with Iomic Sticky & 1 additional wrap.


2. What type of swinger are you ( smooth or quick tempo swinger )? Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader? Quicker tempo, tend to be a heavy loader. Transition can be violent at times.


3. What is your handicap and on a scale 1-10 how consistent is your swing?where is your striking ability? Handicap is an estimated 12. Driver swing consistency is around a 5 on a 1-10 scale. Striking ability in a contact sense is good, direction and launch are the inconsistencies.


4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up? Miss with driver is a big block or a toe hook. Not a big slicing or overdraw issues. Distance is good, outside of the toe hooks obviously.




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]



[u]Club Speed Ball Velocity Launch Angle Spin Carry Total Deviation[/u]

110.58 155.6 8.7 2846 207.1 228.8 4.3L

108.06 162.1 9.7 2494 223.4 246.9 16.1L

108.49 162.7 10.0 2544 228.1 252.1 10.9L

107.41 161.1 7.7 2344 207.2 229 11.3L



I am a lefty so L would mean a block or slice. Launch monitor info done at Golf Galaxy doing one of their fittings.


6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? Better accuracy, contact.




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? Big block or toe hook. Miss shots towards the toe, up and down on the face.




8. What is your shots tendency (ball flight) that you like when you are playing good? A good strike with the driver I hit a small push or straight draw.
9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from? St. Louis. Courses have a lot of elevation changes for the most part. Most all zoysia fairways, fescue rough.


10. Body build and postures? height? etc. 5'-8" 175, good posture, good athletic set-up to the ball.


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


12. If you have to be honest, who your swing look like on PGA tour? at least who do you like it to be? There is no one on tour that my swing looks like. If I had a swing to model it would be Sean O'Hair or Justin Rose, just the left handed equivalent.


13. etc. The more the better it become. Launch monitor numbers were from a bad day. Had been swinging terribly and done in the winter. Everything I was hitting from an 8i-down was a push that week. From other times having my swing checked, club head speed looks consistent to where I am at, contact was terrible that day and launch was probably worse than normal.



I have a negative angle of attack (do not have any trackman numbers to validate this). Ball flight with current driver is lower and get a ton of roll. When I strike the ball well it will rise well however, it is usually a lower flight. I use a driver 4 times a round because I do not have confidence in it. I would like to hit something a little bit heavier/shorter to help with the control allowing me to possibly hit it more in a round.



Driver is by far my worst club, strength are full wedges through 8i. I hit those about as solid as anyone I know.


Answer: definitely re adjust the swingweight properly first and you will need at least a soft X flex. A heavier shaft may give you a better control.

Happy golfing guys!

Joe, I need your help.

Here's my launch trackman numbers:

9.0 Ping G15 Axivcore red 69 stiff 45.75"

Club Speed: 113
AOA: -5.4
Ball Speed: 164
Launch: 10.6
Spin: 4178
Carry: 257
Total: 271

9.0 Ping G15 Axivcore red 69 x-stiff 45.75"

Club Speed: 112
AOA: -5.8
Ball Speed: 159
Launch: 12.1
Spin: 3301
Carry: 253
Total: 274

I'm 5'11" 200 lbs(muscular build), I have a mid-fast tempo, I'm a 13 handicap, driving and putting is the weakest part of my game, I'm a good ball striker with the irons. I play in PA.

I have two drivers at home. I only been able to swing each setup only once due to weather. Which do you think is a better setup for my swing?

10.5 Cleveland Launcher 2009 GD 75 YSQ X 44.5" Winn Lite Grip D6 Swing Weight

or

9.0 Ping G15 75 Prolaunch Platinum S 44.5" New Decade Grip D4 Swing Weight

Both shafts tipped according to manufacturer specs.

Thanks for your input.

Matt

ANSWER: LM numbers tells me that you need to check your attack angle to get shallower for a better spin rate. Shorter set up lenght might help you to achieve that automatically. X flex numbers is a better number definitely, just need to go down on your spin rpm to a 2500 or slightly below. Neither of the two is the right set up IMO.

[pierrot2]

5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM (flightscope LM is one of my best recommendation)?
Club head speed 92.2 mph
Ball speed 128 mph
launch angle 11.1 degrees
spin rate 4161 rpm.....(too high due to steep swing)
average distance 198.6 yards
aveage total yards 214.5 yards
( swing speed, launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, Swing path,Attack angle, side spins, etc?) These numbers has to come from the existing club or the club that you are trying to fix or buy. IMPORTANT & A MUST!
6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up?
Higher launch for more distance.
7. What is your shots tendency on mistakes when you are not playing so good?
a) Pull the shot left, or hit right, with a fade or it goes low or popup. about 30 % of the time, the rest of the time it's center, but not long, cary 190 on good days.

13. etc. The more the better it become.

My fitter recommend that I use a 10.5 driver, R11 or supertri, with a 80+ g shaft, light stiff (did not know that exist), that I have too much side spin both side on sampled swings.
That I use remove my 13 fairway (TM R9 TP fairway wood, 75 G motore TM tp shaft stiff) and buy a 19 (5) wood with a light stiff shaft but heavier. and that I remove my TM R9 rescue (3) 17 degree, vodoo stiff sv58 for TM.

What I did was to put one of the motore 70, stiff on a spare TM supertri, and my 3 wood shaft (motore stiff) on my rescue head, seem to work fine so far, played only once.

Answer: where is the LM number coming from? Which driver?
Just looking at the number, You just need to fix your swing to be more shallow at impact, not club. May be might need a higher loft to bring it up to a 14*-15* LA.

I've noticed a lot of you guys asking for a help in picking up the shaft. However, a lot of you guys didn't give us enough detail info on your swing and existing shaft set up. We will be able to help you much better if you can provide us as much as possible info:

General questionnaire:
How often you play in a month? 6 -7 times weather permitting
How often you practice in a month? 2-4 times
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. Consistency 8 (9 handicap)

I'm presently playing callaway X-20 tours proj X 6.0 flighted, +1" length. Shafts are too stiff, tested at regular shaft on 'zuno optimizer (Proj x 5.0, KBS reg, DG reg)
I'm looking for light weight, low to mid trajectory. Hit 7 iron 145-150 yrds
Iron fitting Questionnaire:

1. Do you have a dynamic fitting before? lie angle? Reg lie
2. What is the existing set up specs and shaft, etc? Detail please! see above
3. Have you ever been on a launch monitor session? what are the numbers (detail)? what brand of machine? No
4. How do you hit them so far? Consistency pretty good, just little feel
5. What do you want to see it change/what is the problem? Looking for more feel and distance
6. What do you like to see on your ball flight? Mid flight, no ballooning with shorter irons - Proj x rifles worked well at that
7. What is your ball flight tendency on your good golfing day? mid-high trajectory, slight fade
8. Which side is your mistake tendency? left or right side? any problem catching the sweet spot? where? Most mistakes are right except for pulled wedges. missed on club face tend to be hosel side.
9. Do you consider yourself a High ball hitter or low ball hitter? High ball
10. How far you hit a 5 iron on a good no wind day? 5 iron swing speed ( carry distance )? Mid 80's swing speed, 5 iron goes 165-170

17. What is your handicap index? From? 9.9 pretty consistent last 5 years
18. Smooth , medium or quick tempo swing style? How good is your shaft load factor on your down swing? smooth, meduim tempo

Bare in mind, No shaft is better than the one fit your swing profile...No matter what the cost is!!!

IMHGO Exotic shafts have a very distinctive feel and character and they have a tighter quality control. So if you ask me to copy a certain set up that you like, It's most likely easier for me to get it from a better quality controlled shafts. Some feel player can only go w/ a certain brand due to these feel and character.

NO! I'm not crazy to fit some one w/ an exotic expensive shaft only, even though i'm more comfortable working w/ them. I'm very open minded limited to what i know only of course ( Usually on popular brands only ). I will do my best to give every body enough options to chose from. To many shaft brand out there, i can't keep up...So i only try to keep up w/ the popular one only.

So help us to make our job easier and more effective to help you.

Thanks a million!

[u][i]Hi you all,

I've been meaning to post this for a while now, but I was having a
hard time on how I have to put the words together to make sure you all
understand my good intention. Trust me, I really want to make every body happy as much as I can.

As you guys all know I've been trying my best to answer all questions you have regarding club fitting, shaft character, modification, etc...I will definitely continue to do so. So far I have no problem up to this point, however I can see the trend is on the up slope.

As most of you know, I am involved with this site in taking
care of some of the operation of it. Also I have a heavy work load ( not only
on clubs but emails and PM ) and also not to forget that taking care
of my family is my 1st priority. I've come to realize that I have a
lot of PM and emails that aren't productive and steal my precious time
not to be able to serve you who really need my attention and who spend
money & time w/ me for my expertise & service. Don't get me wrong
here, if I do have time I would love to answer all your question and
even talk BS w/ you guys. I'm sure my long time customers and friends knows how I am on this.

So what I'm trying to do on this post is to make members understand
that if I haven't or can't answer any one of you who send me PM or
Email...I'm busy working to serve my friends and customers at my best
for what they've paid me for. IMO it's not fair if I have to reduce my
attention to those who are willing to pay me to get their stuff done fast and correctly.

So I beg you guy who just need to ask some questions to just post it
here on clubmakers folder or domestic folder and let some of the
members help you w/ your question, and yes I will try to monitor them
as much as I can to correct or give another opinion for you to understand more.

Of course, I'm encouraging you who are really serious and need my
service to email me at [url="http://jwk%[email protected]/"][email protected][/url] and Yes! most of you who got my phone number can call me during my phone fitting/consultation hours to discuss your needs
effectively. Please state clearly on your email or PM your
seriousness to get help through my service, so this way I can see what
and who that I need to put them in a high priority to answer.

Every body who knows me knows that I love talking about golf and every
aspect of it, but yet I should not forget to see clearly what is the priority. So I hope you understand if your email or PM took me a while to answer your question/s or if I may not be able to answer it at all in the future. I personally apologize in advance if I do so.



Thanks for your attention and Happy Golfing!


Cheers!

Joe,

I would really like your opinion. I have not been fitted for a driver shaft in a long time. I liked heavier, stiffer tipped drivers in the past but would be open anything you recommend

Driver fitting questionnaire:

1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, length, etc ) [color="#0000ff"]
Callaway FT-5, 10 degrees, Diamana Blue 63, stiff, 45.5 inches[/color]

2. What type of swinger are you ( smooth or quick tempo swinger )? Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader?

4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up?
[color="#0000ff"]I am looking for the same dispersion and consistency with a higher ball flight[/color]

5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM.
[color="#0000ff"]I have been to the local PGA Superstore, ball speed maxed out at 150[/color]

6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up?
[color="#0000ff"]Higher ball flight while maintaining tight dispersion and stability. (Note: I recently tested out a GD YS-6+ stiff, the ball flignt was perfect, but consistency and dispersion were a miss unless I slowed down and became[u] really [/u]smooth. )[/color]

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="#0000ff"]With the Blueboard there is a rare slice and sometimes off the toe, other shafts will slice[/color]

8. What is your shots tendency (ball flight) that you like when you are playing good?
[color="#0000ff"]for the driver, it is a mid to low ball flight[/color]
