i was looking at getting either the Fujikura ZCOM 65 Tour or the grafalloy pro launch red i need someting to lower my flight and spin my swing speed is 107 do you have opinions on these

The ZCom will launch the ball higher than the Pro Launch Red so you may be better off with the Grafalloy shaft.

The stock Fubuki shaft will spin quite a bit for the higher club head speeds. The Diamana WhiteBoard will actually decrease your spin and lower you ball flight and the 73X should be fine if your club head speed can hit 115.

My swing speed is any where between 111 and 117 mph what kind of shaft would you recommend for the ft iq. something not at the bottom of the line my not outrageously expensive.

At your clubhead speed you should be in the X-Stiff flex. There are a lot of shaft options that will offer different trajectory and spin rates to help optimize your long game so for me to suggest a shaft for you it may not be the optmial shaft depending on your needs. If you would like to email me your ball flight tendencies and what you want out of the shaft, I can make a few suggestions for you. You may reach me at Andy@golfballs.com anytime. Thanks

The UST V2 High Launch is a great shaft to try for hieght and distance.

What is the difference between Grafalloy prolaunach blue and G. axis blue?
What would you recomm. for a player with 90 mph?
Luis

The Grafalloy ProLaunch Blue is one of the most popular shafts available today offering a wide range of golfers a higher ball flight. The new Axis series is slightly lighter in weight offering similar ball flight to the original ProLaunch Blue however the technology used in the Axis is much more advanced. Using System 9 software Grafalloy is able to calculate tip deflection, frequency, weight and other categories to make a more stable, higher performing shaft.

Stiff flex is what you will need. Shaft type will depend on what you want it to do. Do you want lower or higher ball flight? Lower torque for more accurate shot dispersion? Let me know exactly what you are looking for and I can be more specific.

For starters you may be overpowering your shaft which will cause your ball to fade. Club head speeds near 110 MPH should be in X-Stiff. The Tour head you are using is also slightly open at setup which is designed to promote workability for the better ball strikers. The E-360 is a good shaft with a mid-high kick point and relatively low torque. I think if you tried that shaft in X-Stiff you would see better production.

Callaway does offer custom shaft length on drivers that can reach 47". I could have a new shaft put in for you by the factory if you like to inquire about that. Please contact me at 1-800-372-2557. Thanks Andy.

Will you please explain what torque, kick point. I have purchased a callaway imix head and have ordered a stiff fujikura e360. Am confused about the different values given and am wondering what is app
07/15/2009 8:04 PM
Torque will determine the amount of twisting the club head will do when impact is made. Lower torque shafts will offer straighter ball flights. Kick point is relative to the height of launch the shaft will provide. The higher the kick point, the lower the launch profile. The Fujikura E360 in stiff is a 68 gram shaft with a torque of 3.8 and boasts a mid-high kick point.

What shaft would your recommend for a Callaway I-MIx 10.0 head. I want regular flex. Anyone better than the other for an avg golfer?
Taylor
07/01/2009 11:19 AM
There are some very good shafts avaialble in the I-Mix selection and some will work better than others but they all have different performance characteristics. If you are looking to raise you ball flight go with the Grafalloy Pro Launch Platinum, if you are trying to keep your ball down go with the Aldila NV, if you want a lower torque shaft for more accuracy go with the UST V2.

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
Anonymous
05/31/2009 11:46 AM
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,

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
Anonymous
05/23/2009 7:25 PM
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+
Low Handicap Golfer: Jamie
06/15/2009 3:17 AM
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.

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.

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
01/19/2009 11:12 PM
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.
