Tour launch?

[AKftw]

Hey guys in the market for a new shaft and all it said in the description was tour launch. On the shaft all had was the weight and stiff flex, honestly forgot the exact shaft somehow but what does tour launch generally mean in terms of ball flight? The guy said low which is what I want so I trust him but just trying to get other opinions. Thanks in advance

I mean I played with the guy he's certified and seems to know what he's talking about but figured this would be a good place to ask. I didn't see a kick point or anything

Its like 3000 models of graphite shafts out there, so a brand and model name would help

Yea sorry for the lack of info last night. It's the axivcore core red 69 grams. Now that I actually got the name everything says mid to high launch. Any suggestions for low penetrating flight? I have the stock shaft in the machspeed black still and literally get no roll at all

LOW/MID launch and lower spin. I have the 79 in my 909F3. Great fairway shaft, but I do not have any experience with it in the driver. I did play the Tour Black 69 in my old 909D3, but that is a mid/high launch shaft with lower spin. Great feal in both shafts IMO.

Between this and the graffaloy bimatrix which one is lower flight? Just seems I'm getting to much spin with this one with no roll.

Not sure on lower flight, but the Bi-matrix should be lower spin numbers. I don't have any experience with the Bi-matrix, just never interested in it. Loved the UST Axivcore shafts though. At the time they were the best shaft for the $$ on the market performance wise, and I am still gaming my Tour red in my fairway.

Alright thanks. Both of them look good for the price but the bimatrix has neon orange lol. I wouldn't mind a high launch as long as the spin was down and still got roll. I got a 9.5 loft on the driver, just recently went down from 10.5

I had the Axivcore Tour Black 69s in my 909D3 and it was a high launch shaft with low spin, however I got plenty of rollout because of the low spin.

I could not get my spin down with a bimatrix but I eventually did with a RIP alpha.

Got the RIP Alpha 60s in my 910D3 and it did knock the spin way down as well, however it seriously lacks any feel. Just switched to a Diamana WB 63s to get the feel back and hopefully a little more kick in the shaft.

Well ended up going with the graffaloy bimatrix. Did not see one bad review on it really besides in here with the spin not going down.
