I'd recommend the 13 over the 8.5. No question about it.
Thanks.

NOOOOOO! neither...13 is way too much. i own the 11.5 and it hits way up. and unless you swing as fast as tiger then the 8.5 isnt for you.

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
Anonymous

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.

Thank you for your question.
We've actually all but run out of these drivers and fairway woods. I apologize about this. Nike has run out also so we have no way to fulfill certain lofts. I would recommend trying the SQ Sumo at $149.95.
Thanks,

Gracias por su pregunta.
En este momento nosotros tenemos todo pero se quedamos sin la promoción Libre del Club con Nike. Callaway lanza un nuevo trato del club hoy ofrenda Liberta Calle Bosque también. Usted puede querer preguntar en ese programa.

What is the difference between the listed shafts: Diamana Yellow Board, UST Proforce V2 and the Alida VSP?
I looking for a shaft simular to the Harrison Striker Mid firm...

Thank you for your question. The UST V2 is a very low tourque shaft designed for minumum twisting at impact and offers mid height ball flight. The Aldila VS Proto will lower you ball flight and is produced using nanotube technology. Both options are excellent shafts.

My swing speed is between 90-95 mph and I have a tendency to slice the ball. I have been looking at square head drivers in an attempt to reduce my slice. Will this help? Should I go with a 10.5 loft
Anonymous

Thank you for your inquiry. This driver has an extremely high MOI providing for lower spin rates which will straighten out your drives. Higher loft clubs are always easier to hit so you may have more success going with the 10.5 over a 9.5 degree head.

My handicap is around 20-25, swing speed around 80-85.I have a tendency to slice. Should I be looking for an offset driver ? I was also told a higher loft would probably reduce my slice - Is that true
Anonymous

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, adding loft will decrease the amount of side spin generated off of the club face. An offset driver will also reduce the slice spin so if you are really determined to eliminate your slice you may want to look into a high loft offset driver.

My avg club speed was measured to be 108 mph , should I be looking at a extra stiff shaft
Anonymous
02/21/2009 5:01 PM
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.
