    You could get the best of both worlds by finding an instructor who uses a launch monitor to look at your swing and the numbers and identify they best way to improve your tee game

    Yup I see, basically im compensating due to the weights being really forward in my old driver! Thanks for your helps ill look in to a swing change maybe less leaning back or something like that. Ill try to get a swing up!

    For that swing speed, I think it's pretty close to what you should be getting for distance. As someone else said that spin number is probably a bit below optimal and launch might be a hair low.  However, I would be more concerned with decent angle with your irons.  You want to know how soft they are coming into greens.
    Do you have an issue with any of the above?  If not, you don't just want to get sucked into all of the minutia.  You are playing golf, not numbers.

    If you like your irons, go play them.  How well you score on the course is a better indicator of how you measure against other golfers.

    Varies from player to player. Some players use an opposing force as a trigger point for them to fire certain muscles and others use them as reminder to not do certain things. 
     
    me? I tend to over-release the club when the swing weight gets too heavy

    My coach helped me get rid of the dreaded chicken wing by working with weighted clubs, so weight can/ will have an impact on swing dynamics - even if it’s only to experience the right feeling in a dramatic manner as my coach introduced

    That is probably a total weight and not a swing weight thing.



    Based on ball flight laws, the face is pointed down the target line since that is where the ball starts and your path is too much in to out which causes the hook. See an instructor.

    You have a problem with your swing path.  I'm not an instructor or a fitter, but that seems to be more of a swing problem than a club problem.  You can try to solve this yourself, but you have absolutely zero understanding of what is causing the inside-out path, so you're likely to stumble through a bunch of different "cures" before you find one that works.  Please get some decent instruction.  There are online instruction services that work with video if you can't find someone close to you.

    Making a compensation isn’t controllable because it’s going to rely on timing and if the timing is off the control goes away.

    The overspeed set involves a whole lot of swinging without seeing the balls flight, so its impossible to tell how your swing has changed.  Where does the ball start?  If its starting on target and then hooking, your clubface at impact is good, but your path is strongly inside-out.  If it starts left and goes further left, your clubface is already left at impact.  Ball flight, leading to understanding path and face control are the very minimum of the clues needed to start evaluating swing (or club) issues.
    Go see a pro.  Diagnosing your swing based on strangers from the internet, who have never seen you swing, is likely to be futile.  Basing it on advice from some random people you played with is also likely to be futile.  Upload a swing video, or see a pro.

    Rogue silver 130 70tx is a great option. Ventus black tipped an inch is a solid option. One dark horse to consider is Accra tz6 75 m5. Finau uses this shaft and it is a bomber shaft for sure. Couldn’t go wrong with some Diamana offerings either like Tensei orange 70TX which is counterbalanced or a Diamana white 70TX. Just with Mitsubishi make sure you get the TX with your swing speed.

    I just had a 3 wood fitting and was sad that the t1100 is no longer in production: apparently the smoke green is the closest to it now. I swing 118 and did not like the Ventus at all, I’m too aggressive in transition. I was really interested to try it since everyone seems to love it, and the fellas at TXG are all about it too. I ended up with the Mitsubishi Tensei pro white tx in the driver and the Fujikura speeder evolution 7x in the 3wood; I would recommend either to someone who swings in your ballpark and considers themselves aggressive in transition.

    The hzrdus smoke green TX is probably the closest one to the t1100. The smoke green issue counterbalanced like the t1100 so this will play stiffer than than the t1100

    Happy birthday! There is a free survey on the internet that let you do some exercises to show if you should do overspeed training or not! It will show you if you should or should not do it! I recommend that you do that test because it could be dangerous!

    from what I understand, the best option would be the Ventus offerings.  They have the same characteristics you're speaking about. (low torque, low spin, etc...) Seems to be the favorite for a lot of people as of late.  I don't have the same swing speed, wish I did, but I know a few people who have and they all have switched over to the Ventus option.

    Its a really low torque and low spin shaft. I load the club quite aggressively and swing about 120mph and have a quick tempo. It was an aftermarket shaft!
