The ProLaunch Axis Blue is a low kick point shaft with a soft tip which will feel a little spongier. In the same shaft lineup, Grafalloy offers a Red version that has a slightly higher weight with a stiffer tip and higher bend point which should lower your ball flight considerably.

Wayne, the Graffaloy Axis is the stock shaft of the Adams Speedline and the 60 stands for the gram weight. Honestly if I were to fit you for a shaft I would need some more details of your swing and desired ball flight but for this driver that shaft works very well. If you would like further fitting information please call me at 1-800-372-2557 so that I can assess your needs. Thanks. Andy.

Hello,
I understand most drivers come in a 10.5 and 9.5 degree loft. I use a 10.5. When teeing off, my ball usually has a lot of loft and goes really high in the air, should I switch to a 9.5 degree

Thank you for your question.
Is it worth testing out? Absolutely. Will the 9.5 give you a more penetrating ball flight is the question. Most golfers would kill to have more hang time but I know how you feel. I was in the same boat at one time and tested different lofts much like you. I ended up staying with the higher loft though. I would test it prior to officially making a move.
Play Well,
Johnny

The higher loft will also be more controllable of the tee..

If you are not a low handicap golfer, where you play can make a lot of difference in driver loft choices. In the northern US. especially on the plains, wind can be a huge factor in driver loft effect. We have 160 yd par 3's where 10/12 handicap golfers are using drivers straight into a 35 mph wind. I use a 9.5 TM Burner draw. But I have a Titlist 10.5 I take to Phoenix (low or no wind) and FL (tree lined courses). High trajectory on windy links courses can really beat you up with a high loft. //

In general, the 9.5 degree will tend to give a lower ball flight. However, the shaft also contributes to launch angle. Find a Golf shop that has a simulator that can measure your swing path, launch angle, club-head speed, ball speed, spin and distance. With this information, your Pro can tell you if you need a different club, or just a new shaft.

my avg swing speed is about 80 to 90 . what would be the best Shaft Flex for me

Thank you for your question.
You would fall in the 'Regular' flex category based upon your swing speed.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,

You're definitely a regular flex
Senior flex starts from 70-80
Regular is from 80 to about 100
Stiff 100 to 115ish
X-stiff 115+

My driver swing speed is 90mph, straight ball flight, and using the Burner driver, I need a stiff shaft. With the regular I do not have the same control as with the stiff shaft and distance is almost identical. Try one out on a range or on a monitor. Swing speeds do not always reflect the correct shaft for your swing. It's only a generic number but is a good starting point.

I have used the YS-6 shaft in the 905T and the FT-i with pretty good success. Can you name me a couple other shafts that you think would give me the same "feel" and control? Thanks.

Thank you for your inquiry. There are a few other brands that have similar weight and launch profiles of the Graphite Design YS series. You should notice that the Aldila NVS 65, the Graphalloy ProLaunch 65, the UST V2 67, and the Fujikura E360 are all very comparable.

My current driver is 48" overall length. Can I get a Speedline in that length?

Thank you for your question.
The maximum shaft length that Adams can doe is 47 inches without putting an extender on it.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,

y swing speed is at the 80 level and I'm 71 years old witha 16 handicap--should I be looking at a a flex (Senior) shaft?
Anonymous

Thank you for your question.
With your swing speed I would recommend a Senior Flex. You want to be able to come around on your swing and a Senior Flex is your best bet to be able to do so on a consistent basis.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Johnny

What is the face angle of the 9.5 and the 10.5 non-draw driver?
Anonymous

The Adams Speedline driver is square at setup in the regular version. The draw version is closed. The only open faced Adams driver that is available currently is the A4 Tech prototype which sets up about 1* open. For further inquiry, feel free to contact us at 1-800-372-2557.

What the difference between the A-flex and the Regular-Flex for this club?

The A flex is senior, it is a weaker frequency than regular.

My avg club speed was measured to be 108 mph , should I be looking at a extra stiff shaft
Anonymous

That clubhead speed is considered to be high enough for an extra stiff. Typically speaking, anyone who can swing their driver 105+ should be in extra stiff.

which shaft is better between regular and stiff
Anonymous

Great Question. Everything is subjective to your swing though. Do you tend to swing slower or more quickly? The rule of thumb is that if your swing speed is slower than 95mph then you should probably get a regular flex driver and if your swing is over 100mph then you should probably get a stiff flex driver. That leaves a little grey area that you from 95 to 100 where you can use either flex.
I hope this helps.
