Whats the difference between a 13 degree club and a 13 degree offset club?

Thanks for your question. The difference between the two is the 13 Degree Offset driver's center of gravity is set back from the shaft thus increasing the trajectory of the ball off of the face of the club.
The offset can help a golfer come closer to squaring the face at impact because the clubface arrives at impact a split-second later than with a club that has no offset. Thus the second benefit of offset is to help reduce the amount the golfer may slice or fade the ball.

What is the difference ( Senior player ) between a 13.0 , 13.5 and a HL 16 driver.

Hi, thanks for the question. The different lofts will cause higher launch angles. The higher launch angle will allow you to add more carry to you tee shot. I would recommend the 13.5 or 16 for a senior player, as the extra loft may add some distance. -Parker

I use a 165 degree senior shaft and am driving only about 175 yds. To hit the ball further would it help to go to a lower degree (13) and a reg. shaft?

Hi, thanks for the question. The extra carry you get out of the 16.5 degree is actually quite beneficial to a slower swing speed. A 13 degree would not allow you to carry the ball as far, which will cause you to lose some distance. -Parker

I turned 50 last year, high hadicap recreational golfer, have never hit the driver long should I be looking at senior flex drivers to regain the distance I have lost over the years?

Senior flex should only be needed if your club head speed with the driver is below 80 MPH. The weaker the flex the more energy is transferred generating a high head speed so you should see added distance however, if your head speed is overpowering the senior flex you may notice more wayward tee shots.

Thank you for your question.
We have a few lower lofted drivers available online. I would look at a lower loft over the 13 Degree.
Thanks,

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 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.
