The UST AxivCore Black series is the shaft offering which is a high launching, low spinning driver shaft. The launch profile and weight are the same for both the stiff and extra stiff in this shaft.

Yes, the setting for the left to right ball flight is the same slot on the str8 fit adapter for both right and left handed golfers.

Can you use a str8-fit Shaft on any str8-fit Head?
William

Hi, thanks for the question. The answer is yes, you can put any Str8 fit shaft in any Str8 fit head. You may not see the results you are looking for if you put a 3 wood shaft in a Driver head, or vice versa. -Parker

In a previous question it was mentioned that a left anded golfer should follow the setting as shown in the picture. How can a right handed set up showing a closed club face the will help right handed
Scott Collins
01/11/2010 10:42 PM
If you are looking for a draw setting you may need to compensate more with the face angle. The 1 degree closed setting may neutralize your fade somewhat but you may notice that a 2 degree closed face angle may actually promote more of a draw for you.

Replace the shaft. Start by sliding the ferrule up the shaft by heating it lighly with a hair dryer. Then heat the adapter and slide it off the shaft, a club repairman can do this. Don't worry the adapter is marked on the bottom with a notch to show which part goes to the bottom in a neutral position. Install the ferrule with the yellow arrow on the shaft where so you can then epoxy the adapter on the shaft, make sure you have the notch on the bottom opposite the yellow arrow. I recently change

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,

Mid Handicap Golfer: Howard
10/02/2009 5:37 AM
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. //
Mid Handicap Golfer: Don
10/12/2009 12:47 PM
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.

You would fall in the 'Regular' flex category based upon your swing speed.

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.

Thank you for your question. The LH model will promote the exact opposite bias (draw vs. fade) for a lefty however the booklet should only inform you of promoting a right to left, or a left to right ball flight which is the exact same setting for both a right and a left handed player.

Anonymous
04/19/2009 9:40 PM
Thank you for you question. The loft can be manipulated when adjusting the angles of the face. Setting the head to draw will increase the loft offering higher ball flight while setting the face to a fade bias will decrease your loft and flight patterns. The reason you are able to select a specific loft is to make up for your attack angles which will depict the launch conditions of your drivers. With a steep swing you will generate high launch which in many cases requires the least amount of effe

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.
