On the files , since I'm LH , they used an R9 so they could change shafts?

Answer: just base on your LM data, You need a higher loft. 11-12 degree with mid kick low spin shaft should do it.

[csl928]

Hey Joe, nice to see your still doing this and that i am not late to the party. Any help is appreciated

General questionnaire:
How often you play in a month? approx 10
How often you practice in a month? 6-8
How consistent do you think your swing are in a scale 1-10 ( 10 being the best )? 8

Driver fitting questionnaire:

1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, lenght, etc ) [b]Cleveland SL290, stock miyazaki K cua 43 stiff flex @ 45.75inches [/b]
2. What type of swinger are you ( smooth or quick tempo swinger )? Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader? [b]smooth tempo with an avergae to light load at the top and a slow release at the bottom[/b]
3. What is your handicap and on a scale 1-10 how consistent is your swing?where is your striking ability? [b]15 handicap, 8. i can be pretty consistent with the drive. Whether that is straight or not is a different story[/b]
4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up? [b]Fade turns into a slice. lately some straight pulls mixed in. But my main desire is a club in the 44-44.5 inch range and I cant get a clubmaker to cut my shaft. I already choke up around an inch and any further down doesnt feel comfortable[/b]
5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM ([url="http://www.flightscope.com/"]flightscope[/url] LM is one of my best recommendation)? ( swing speed, launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, Swing path,Attack angle, side spins, etc?)
[b]Zelocity: I compared the 9 degree to the 10.5 degree both SL290 so will include both numbers if thats of any further help.
9 degree:
club speed: 96.03
ball velocity: 134.8
Launch angle: 13.6
Spin: 2752
carry: 209.4
total: 231.4
PTR: 140.4
deviation: 4.6

10.5 degree:
Club speed: 97.77
ball velocity: 138.8
launch angle: 14.9
spin: 2562
carry: 223.7
total: 247.2
ptr: 142.0
deviation: 6.4

[/b]6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? [b]More consistent striking, shorter overall club length. will sacrifice some distance for a nice straight drive to a slight fade. Reduce my tendency to slice[/b]
7. What is your shots tendency on mistakes when you are not playing so good? [b]Slice[/b] Do you have any problem missing a shots on the face of the club? where?[b]miss is towards the toe[/b]
8. What is your shots tendency (ball flight) that you like when you are playing good? [b]Straight to a slight fade[/b]
9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from?[b] all different conditions from inner city munis to nicer faster, cleaner long Island/Jersey courses. Queens, NY[/b]
10. Body build and postures? height? etc. [b]5' 9" 175lbs. Weaker than average but pretty flexible and always been athletic[/b]
11. What is your glove size? need size estimate even if you don't use glove.[b] medium-cadet[/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 wouldnt even dare compare myself to any pro, but for the most part my swing is pretty stock, straight forward without any crazy moves. I try and be as close to a professional looking swing as possible. I would say I dont get as high in my backswing is the main difference[/b]


[b]Joe, Thanks again. I am considering pulling the shaft and selling it. Or just starting fresh with a new club if I cant get this thing cut down. take care

Answer: Your 10.5 driver LM # is almost perfect IMO, just a bit to high on the LA. Shorter club set up from 45.75 should give a better release motion to reduce you slice.
[/b]

[hockeyboy150]

Currently using Taylormade R7 Limited 10.5 degree with stock regular shaft 45.5''

Fairly smooth swinger, play off 14

Bad shot mostly a block but sometimes a hook if I get too handsy

Ball flight mostly dead straight with driver, tend to hit a draw with irons

Play in UK at a fairly short course that gets quite windy



Trackman LM numbers average:

90-95 swing speed

130-140 ball speed

15-17 launch

2,000-2,500 spin

220ish carry

240-245ish total



Looking for a more penetrating ball flight to hopefully gain a little extra distance. Considering if it is worth playing driver at 45'' or even shorter for control?

Answer: Definitely try a shorter driver with a stiff flex or at least FIRM (R/S).

Driver fitting questionnaire:

1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, length, etc ) Ping g10 10.5, Diamana Blueboard 63g, D3, 45"
2. What type of swinger are you ( smooth or quick tempo swinger )? Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader?
I have a quick tempo transition, and i load the club pretty heavy.
3. What is your handicap and on a scale 1-10 how consistent is your swing?where is your striking ability? My handicap is around 15, and i am pretty inconsistant with my driver. i would say a 4 on consistency. I am a pretty solid ball striker with irons and wedges.
4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up? I don't get any real carry out of my driver. I carry my driver around 200-210, and carry my 4 wood 220-230.
5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM ([url="http://www.flightscope.com/"]flightscope[/url] 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 was on a vector launch monitor at golfsmith, and i got these numbers. My swing speed ranges from 97-104. My launch angle is around 7-8. never gets higher than 9. My spin rate is 3300-3400 on good hits. I put cut spin on the ball most of the time.


6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? I am looking to increase my launch angle, so i can increase my carry. I know most of it has to do with my angle of attack. My swing is too flat, but i am hoping that i can increase my launch angle through a new set up.

Basically what I've been playing for the last years: A workable driver that allows me to hit hard & low into the wind and keeping the ball down and penetrating and rolling. And allows me to hit it mid high to high down wind.

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 tend to slice the ball out quite a bit. I miss toward the heel of the club most of the time.
8. What is your shots tendency (ball flight) that you like when you are playing good? Slight fade.
9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from? I play really hard fairways and can get a ton of roll out of the ball when it is really dry in the summer. I live in Indiana.
10. Body build and postures? height? etc. 5' 9", medium build and flexible.
11. What is your glove size? need size estimate even if you don't use glove. Cadet Medium.
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 couldn't even begin to guess. I study film of anthony kim's swing because we are the same build. I like his swing a lot.

13. etc. The more the better it become.
I am looking for a club set up that will get my launch angle from 8 to 14 or so. I assume that most of the changes are going to be swing changes. I want a shaft with a tip that can keep up with me like the blueboard, but is still flexible to get the ball up in the air. I really like the feel of a really smooth shaft like the BB.

Answer: Higher loft and get a teaching pro to get rid of you delofting impact position.

Thank you in advance for helping Joe, plan to be on a launch monitor soon at a local club fitter to get more data. R11 is really forgiving, that D3 head though is really solid.

Fej

Answer: I would try a heavier shaft set up on:

[/b]As low as 10.75* launch with a 8.5 D3 MFT WB 73X, typically 13-15*
Spin rates were down in the 2500-2800 range, occasional 3200

You might even need a special tour only real high kick and real tip stiff shaft.

[csl928]

Thanks for the response Joe. Really Really appreciate it. Ill try and get the shaft cut down a bit and then see if my consistency improve. Thanks again

[DNice26]

Hey Joe, looking for a new shaft for my Razr Hawk Tour, 9.5 degree with stock RIP shaft in X-Flex. I currently hit this driver quite well and pretty darn far, but my consistency and accuracy are not what I believe it should/could be. In the past, I've tired Mitsubishi shafts (the Kai'li) and I loved the smooth feel of the shaft. I'm basically considering any/all shafts. I was looking at maybe the graphite designs or the UST attas or the mitsubishi line (Fubuki, Kai'li, Ahina) or I've heard good things about the new Motore Speeders. So please help me narrow down my search.


General questionnaire:
How often you play in a month? 8-10 times. I'm a 1-2 handicapper.

How often you practice in a month? 6-8 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. [color="#FF0000"]With the irons, I'd say I'm a 9. With my driver, I'd say I'm a 7.5.
[/color]
Driver fitting questionnaire:

1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, lenght, etc ) Callaway Razr Hawk TOUR 9.5* X-stiff stock Cally RIP shaft 45.25" long

2. What type of swinger are you ( smooth or quick tempo swinger )? Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader? I would say that I'm fairly smooth, but I have a fairly short swing, so I'm guessing that I load the shaft fairly heavy.

3. What is your handicap and on a scale 1-10 how consistent is your swing?where is your striking ability? 1-2 handicapper. I'm pretty consistent with my irons, but struggle with the driver a bit in terms of consistency and accuracy. I play a high draw, but every so often can get it going hard left on a poor swing.

4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up? I think the stock RIP shaft lacks a bit of feel and I believe my dispersion could be improved. Perhaps the shaft is a bit too light weight? Having said that though, I do hit the club quite well when I put a good swing on it. I'm hitting some of the longest drives I've hit with this club.

5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM ([url="http://www.flightscope.com/"]flightscope[/url] LM is one of my best recommendation)? ( swing speed, launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, Swing path,Attack angle, side spins, etc?) [b]

LM data:

Swing speed 110-114 mph
Launch Angle 13*-14
Ball Speed 160-164 mph
Backspin 2600-3100 rpm
Sidespin Not sure.
Swing Path: Not exactly sure.....I think the guy said my attack angle was like 0.4 degrees.

[/b] 6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? I would like to be more consistent and accurate. Obviously, I would prefer not to lose any distance either if possible.


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? My bad swings produce hooks. I would say my miss is probably in the heel I suppose.

8. What is your shots tendency (ball flight) that you like when you are playing good? Slight draw.

9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from? Slow and fairly wet fairways.

10. Body build and postures? height? etc. 6'1 male, 184 lbs, 31 years old.

11. What is your glove size? need size estimate even if you don't use glove. 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 would say my swing looks sort of like Justin Rose but a bit shorter than parallel on the backswing (not as good obviously).

13. etc. The more the better it become.

Answer: Definitely a high kick shaft tiop stiff design and might even want to try a heavier shaft set up with slightly shorter length set up.

Hi Joe,



I'm based in the UK and this is my 1st post on golfwrx.

I'm looking for a new shaft to go into my Adams Speedline Fast 10 10.5* head. I like the feel of smooth shaft. Don't get on well with low torque shafts.

General questionnaire:
How often you play in a month? 8
How often you practice in a month? Once a week
How consistent do you think your swing are in a scale 1-[size="3"][color="#ff0000"]10[/color][/size] ( [size="3"][color="#ff0000"]10[/color][/size] being the best )? It won't matter good or bad consistency. 7-8. I can tell by my swing if I have hit a good/bad shot

Driver fitting questionnaire:

1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, lenght, etc ) Nickent 4DX Evolver 10.5, with SST Pured Accra XC65 m4 at D2 45". Very smooth but would like to feel the head a bit more during the swing.


2. What type of swinger are you ( smooth or quick tempo swinger )? Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader? Smooth tempo not a heavy loader.


3. What is your handicap and on a scale 1-[size="3"][color="#ff0000"]10[/color][/size] how consistent is your swing?where is your striking ability? 9 handicap, 8 out of 10 . Usally hit a silly one every 4 or 5 drives.


4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up? Lack of feel, I like the profile of the Accra XC65, but total club weight feels light. Lead tape has been added to bring the swing weight up.


5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM ([url="http://www.flightscope.com/"][color="#0000ff"]flightscope[/color][/url] 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] Been on a Trackman launch monitior for the Nickent driver. Swing speed is around 100-105mph, launch angle is about 13 degrees, ball speed 146mph?. Can get the face angle a bit closed and that causes a low launch angle. Speed rate is in the mid range, can't remember the extact figure.


6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? More consistant drives to give me more confidence with my driver.


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?
Can hook the ball of the tee. This is my big mistake during a round and spoils 5-6 holes of good scoring.


8. What is your shots tendency (ball flight) that you like when you are playing good?
Like a mid ball flight from the driver.

9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from?
Course is very soft during the winter months and is bone hard during the summer. My home course is all ways windy. Play in the South East area of the UK.

[size="3"][color="#ff0000"]10[/color][/size]. Body build and postures? height? etc.

6 foot, 200lbs with good posture over the ball.


11. What is your glove size? need size estimate even if you don't use glove. Glove is mens 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? Like to look at the smooth tour plays who swing the golf club. Like to watch Hunter Mahan, Justin Rose, Luke Donald, Ernie Els.


13. etc. The more the better it become.
Would like to know what shaft I could install into the Adams Fast 10 head. Could I pull the Accra from it's Nickent adaptor?? Have always got on well with Graphite Design shafts. Have a Taylor Made V Steel 4 wood with a Graphite Design YS-7+ X flex shaft. Love the feel of this combo and can keep up with my playing partners when the driver is going side ways.



Thanks

Answer: I need amore detail info from the driver that you are trying to fix or shafted.

My pro reckons I would suit a 910 D3 9.5 head and the loft increased to 10.25 and draw bias. Tried it with the stock PX Tour Issue X-7C3 and although it increased the length of my drives still feels like its too much shaft for me

[/color]2. What type of swinger are you ( smooth or quick tempo swinger )? Loading factor on your swing? Heavy or light loader?
[color="#ff0000"]Reasonably smooth, probably a light 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"]No official hdcp, usual score is 85-90. Swing consistency is 6. Striking ability: near sweetspot 60-70%
[/color]4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up? [color="#ff0000"]Possibly too low launch, distance?
[/color]5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM ([url="http://www.flightscope.com/"][color="#353535"]flightscope[/color][/url] LM is one of my best recommendation)? ( swing speed, launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, Swing path,Attack angle, side spins, etc?)
[color="#ff0000"]PING launch monitor, using my current club.
Sw speed: 95-100
Ball speed: 140-145
Smash: 1.47 (very consistent)
Launch angle: 8-9*
Spin: 2100-2400
Swing path: ?
AoA: ?
Side spin: No #'s, but mostly slight fade, good dispersion.
[/color]6. What are you trying to change or achieve on your new set up? [color="#ff0000"]Greater distance
[/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"]Bad shots are over the top - slice or pull. Miss on clubface is on the toe

[/color]13. etc. The more the better it become.
[color="#ff0000"]I would say my on-course ball flight is a medium trajectory, which is contradictory to the launch monitor, but I rarely launch one too high. I have tried a G15 (10.5* & 12*) w/both Stiff (TFC) and Reg (Serrano) shafts, and liked the feel of the Reg shaft (better sense of flex, load). 12* + Reg shaft brought my launch angle up to 11-12*, spin 2500-2800, but didn't get me any distance (according to the LM).[/color]
[color="#ff0000"]Also tried an Aldila RIP Alpha (I think) R flex w/Adams 9064 - felt too whippy. Looking at ProLaunch Axis Platinum 60, GD Tour AD YSQ 65 both in R flex. Thoughts on those shafts?

Answer: Try a 12* driver.

[darnoldil]

Hi Joe. I want to say thank you for your help and diligence in advising everyone on this thread, it is very much appreciated.

General questionnaire:
How often you play in a month?

[b]4 - 5 times during the summer[/b]

How often you practice in a month?

[b]20 times per month during the summer almost exclusively on my full swing[/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] 8[/b]

Driver fitting questionnaire:

1. What is the club existing set up? ( loft, shaft, flex, swing weight, length, etc )

[b]TM R9 TP 9.5* X63-Fubuki shaft 45.25" long, 14g in toe, 6g middle, 2g inboard, 1* closed (in between neutral and left)[/b]

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

[b]Quick Tempo. Very heavy loader (TT Shaft Lab comparisons showed that I load the shaft as much as most of the PGA players in their database). [/b]

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

[b]15 Handicap (starting to work on short game as my practice is full swing), 70 - 80% swing consistency, center to just right of center on the club face, slightly high of center on driver face. [/b]

4. What is the the problem w/ the existing set up?

[i][b]I do not like the dispersion pattern, it is too wide and inconsistent. I can go from a push that is 10yrds right of the target (fine with that) to a hook that is 20yrds or more left of the target. I have to have my "B+" game to hit 70+% of the fairways, but a solid "C+" game drops down to about 50% of fairways hit. My typical bad shot is a high 20yrd hook. My really bad shot, if I really try to go after it is a lower duck hook. When I am not swinging well and I open the face to try to compensate for my bad shot I get a straight push that is usually 10 - 15yrds right of my target. My R7 irons using the stock T-90's in a stiff flex are even worst as my best shots draw 5yrds with my alignment aimed 15yrds right![/b][/i]

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]Vector 1 camera system(Golfsmith), a new simulator/monitor at Golf Galaxy, TT Shaft Lab, and a Launch/Simulator monitor with sensors in the mat to pick up actual club path and club swing speed at a local golf course (don't know the name), also the Medicus power meter, and TM Speed Stik:

Launch Angle

[b]10* - 13* average between all of the monitors[/b]

[/b]

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

[i][b]I want to have the ball stop 'falling out of the sky'. I would also like to tighten the dispersion and increase the consistency of my shot shape. I would also like to have the ability to "go after it" without missing 30yrds left when I do./b][/b][/i][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?

[i][b]Twenty yard hooks and occasional duck hooks are my worst misses. These shots also produce my poor contact out on the toe of the club, as it feels like the face snaps shut.
[/b][/i]

8. What is your shots tendency (ball flight) that you like when you are playing good?

[b]A high trajectory, straight initial flight with a slight draw curve.[/b]

9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from?

[i][b]Med-firm, narrow fairways in the suburbs of Chicago (Chicagoland area).[/b][/i]

10. Body build and postures? height? etc.

[b]5' 7" stocky, barrel chested/bicep build, late 40's, male.[/b]

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

[b]XL [/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?

[i][b]Looked at more video of myself and would have to change this to say Steve Stricker, or a mix between John Daley (but I tend to be just short of parallel) and Ken Perry (more rotary turn of the torso). Very rotary with little hand rotation, very solid impact as I stay down through the shot. I'm fine with my swing, it's what comes natural so I would do it under pressure anyway.

answer: Try a heavier set up shaft and shorter length for control.

5. Have you ever had a launch monitor session before? What brand of LM [color="#0000ff"]([url="http://www.flightscope.com/"]flightscope[/url] LM is one of my best recommendation)[/color]?[color="#0000ff"] ( swing speed, launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, Swing path,Attack angle, side spins, etc?)[/color] [b][color="#ff0000"]These numbers has to come from the existing club or the club that you are trying to fix or buy. IMPORTANT & A MUST![/color][/b] [b]Numbers are averages from LM @ Golfsmith using a TM R11 (I think they're a little high, but not by much. I would've guessed I was between 105-108 with peaks at 112 if I step on it.) The Kai'li is a TM shaft, not the real Diamana. The Motore was pink-ish all the way down, so I don't think it was from TM.

9. What type of course condition you are playing most? Where are you from? [b]I live in AZ, it's fkn hot. 114° yesterday. I play desert courses mostly. I want to become more accurate with my driver so my 2nd shots aren't out of the desert. Desert courses have no rough...[/b]
10. Body build and postures? height? etc. [b]6'2", 195lbs, posture over the ball is good[/b]
11. What is your glove size? need size estimate even if you don't use glove. [b]FJ, Staysoft Men's 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]It's been so long since I've seen my swing on Video...if I had to pick one person...I'd say Adam Scott. [/b]
13. etc. The more the better it become.

Any shaft recommendations would be great! I don't have access to tons of aftermarket shafts to test, or at least don't know of places that have them available in the Phoenix area already in heads to test. I'd try all the Titleist or TM shafts in the D2 or R11, but they're the OEM shaft which isn't the aftermarket shaft I'd be purchasing. I'm looking to get either an R11 or Nike VR Pro (Not Str8-Fit) but I'm leaning towards the Nike.

Thanks!
Brian

Answer: get a detail LM data from a lower lofted club that you like to buy or fix>
