96-99mph ss. What high launching shaft do I want?

[callawayjay]

Flat swing. Shallow angle of attack. Need highest launching shaft. GO!

(For the driver)

[callawayjay]

....or not

[Russ757]

im using the basha 4r... cpm is a little on the stiff side but great feel and can handle more thn u or i cld throw at it


also i quickly found this forum doesnt get alot of attention... everyone here rips it 300

[xerpro]

Prolaunch Blue, or my personal favorite, GRAFALLOY EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!

[lilmike24]

Bassara ....

how good is the epic ?

[callawayjay]

I'm thinking bassara too.

[blade_man]

The one that says 10.5* to the one that says 12*! LOL

[Upper Michigan]

Kusala white 56s or 61s or an Accra Dymatch 2.0 RT (Responsive Tip) in M4 flex. I swing mid 90's. I currently own the Kusala White 61s in a 290 classic. I am planning on buying the Accra next.

[Russ757]

The white would also be a good suggestion though you might want to consider going regular depending on swing

[driverwedge]

Pl Blue. Redboard. NVS. Bassara. Graphite Design Aura Blue or Green. The whole Aura series plays above their price tag.

[callawayjay]

I know ur all on edge wondering what I picked. Ill be using a kusala white...

[Upper Michigan]

Good choice. Report back on what you think of it.

[gr00vetech]

Any thoughts on the Oban Revenge? I am just looking to try something different. I have had success with the Motore F3 60g

Great choice. I have it in my 913D2. High launching bombs!

[jtudhsnae]

How about the new Matrix White Tie shaft?

[alwaysatrueswinger]

Miyazaki ckua 43 shafts have helped me launch the ball higher.

[TMBob]

I touch off base, but I have to admit that I am launching the ball higher then every with the R1 driver head set only in the 10 degree setting (9.5 actual I think) with low spin.

Face angle is your launching friend more then a different shaft. Your main worry with face angle will be to much spin this is why you will need a low spin head...seems like 2013 is the year if the low spin heads, so have a look around instead of chasing your tail with shafts.

My SS is right along with yours. Oh by the way, the Fuel 50 S launched very nicely in the R1

[callawayjay]

Nobody here swings as flat as I do, hence the high launching shaft. And so far kusala is greatness

[bunkeru2k]

I would go out on a limb and say that you could not have a flatter swing than mine. Kuchar might be close. I have been loving the launch of the Blueboard and S+. Still getting things set up right to test the PXv and AD DI to see who wins.

[callawayjay]

Dude. You will lose. Kuchar is upright compared to me.

[RainShadow]

Tried the Matrix Xcon 5 or 6 ? I just picked on up here on the BST (Xcon 5 firm flex, think it's 246cpm). High flat flight in my 913 D2, even better in the 910 D3.

[callawayjay]

A buddy has a 5. I'd have to put a tip in it...

I really struggled with a flat backswing, but when I went to see a really good pro he had me try a oneplane backswing (with steeper shoulders) my arms and hands finally started to work more upright instead of inside. You dont even have to execute a "perfect" oneplane backswing to make it work. This has done wonders to my golf. Now I love seeing the ball fly up in the air. I dont use a oneplane through and finish swing (that requires a lot of flexibility and clubhead speed) I just use a classic Phil Mickelson-finish with active arms. Try it!! What do you have to lose?

Kuchars shoulders is rather steep actually, and that helps him launch the ball. Hogans backswing is somewhat similar but he finish with his arms high, which also makes the ball go "UP"

[benthegolfer]

Diamana 'Ilima or Fubuki would be pretty good

Its excellent shafts. But it only solves the driving problems. If you have a really flat swing 5-4 iron, fairwaywoods would still be a problem I Imagine. As my pro told me: you can play golf with many kind of backswings but not when you let your hands fall inside behind your body...

[gvogel]

Just a quick note here - why not stay with a good medium launching shaft for better consistency, and go to a more lofted head?

[FiveOffTheTee]

I second gvogel and vote more lofted head.

[Stuart_G]

Changing loft will always be more effective at raising launch angle than any shaft change.

[callawayjay]

Changing loft as a lefty is much more difficult
Don't like "closing" an adjustable head to increase loft.

The titleist 910 and 913 have a 12 version
G20 and g25 have 12's
G15 has a 13.5
