Appreciate that, and I’m absolutely willing to keep trying. my swing speed averages between 104-106. I am a high spin driver of the golf ball. Mostly because of high dynamic loft, usually a result of flipping. My current setup is either TSi4 with the Tensei white raw AV 65 s or the Matrix white 45g senior flex.

So I’ve slightly given up on this. I’m not getting rid of the shaft just yet though. While I do get my best numbers with it. I’m not consistent enough with my swing to avoid that towering 5k rpm shot. With my other shaft I never get it. It sits around 2,700 - 3,000 and a 260ish carry. Yes the Otto can give me that 2200 and 270 carry but I get those errant shots that’s really discouraging.

I cannot, we use a uneekor which doesn’t read loft or angle of attack which I badly need lol

Quick follow up: went indoors today to try the setup and have an opportunity to measure numbers. I am a high spin player, don’t know if I hit down or flip by for whatever reason my normal spin #’s with the driver are normally between 2900-3400. I’m a 250-260 carry but with a HC of 11 every 3rd or 4th shot is a delete. with this setup, I surprisingly had lower spin #’s between 2,500 - 3,000. Had a few at 2,200. I hit a lot of balls and by far had far better consistency with the setup. And while spin was down, yes it felt easier for me to get 270ish I never got passed it. current conclusion is this is better for me, but still need to test. I’m playing 18 tomorrow so very excited to take this setup out again. More to come from me…

wholeheartedly agree. Whereas I usually have a few mental Q's when swinging, with this setup I solely had to focus on tempo.

So, I dove head first into this. Bought a White Tie Matrix 45g A flex shaft on eBay. Added an adapter and went to range and played 9 holes. On the range, it was performing extremely well. Straight ball flight, somewhat high but penetrating versus rising from spin. The. I went out to the course and swing crashed, not equipment, but my swing. Tempo went to crap and I was so quick that the first was a major slice, second was a drop kick hook. Then 3rd and 4th were awesome. About 270+ each drive. I’m definitely intrigued but I do need to tinker with tempo to make it repeatable. Going to try and get indoors on a simulator today. More to come… fyi - I play a TSi4 9* and standard shaft is a Ventus red 6x at 44.5”. this test shaft is playing at 45” and about D2 swing weight. Again, Matrix white tie 45g A flex.

I game it, love it. Played the HZRDUS red for a while, then swapped to the RDX red and now the ASCENT. The ascent is just as long but far better dispersion and feel. Highly recommend for those smooth swingers. I have a 103-105 SS and use a stiff version at 60g.
