mbrodeur86 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I'm in the market for a new driver shaft. After weeks of research, I believe this shaft is the best one for me.

mbrodeur86 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Why do you think it is best for you?I currently use the Callaway BBA dbd, set in 10* using the KURO KAGE SILVER TINI 60 stiff shaft My ball speed sits between 157-166mph. I have a negative AOA. From the research I've done, I need to get my launch angle up and my spin rate around 2500. Right now my average launch angle sits around 8-9*. If I can get my launch angle up a couple of degrees and lower my high spin rate (currently around 3600) I can add more yardage. I believe this shaft is a step in the right direction but it's way more than I can afford.

Sent from my VTR-L09 using MyGolfSpy mobile app There is a company that does tons of business with incredible positive feedback on EBay.

Each shaft they recommended I researched. I must say they were spot on. Super fast shipping as well. Dallasgolf.

While companies like to advertise high launch/low spin there’s nothing that’s going to significantly reduce spin and add launch. The differences in launch are going to a few degrees at most and a few hundred rpm. Having a negative aoa is going to increase spin compare to s neutral it positive aoa and a lower launch.

Sent from my VTR-L09 using MyGolfSpy mobile appIf we take 110 as your average, perfect efficiency gets you 165 ball speed. So you are hitting the ball almost optimally and transferring the energy to the ball. You can be successful with a negative angle if attack but you didn’t specify how much down you are. I don’t personally think the shaft is your answer. Either lift up or get a newer low spin head.

juspoole Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I really like this shaft as well, but ended up with a different on at a recent fitting. I've also found that I had a negative AoA, but found I made a few errors. For me, the ball was not as far forward on my driver with my stance as I thought it was and I would tee the ball lower than what was correct. By just moving these small things I was able to assist with my AoA. With all that said, I have similar swing speed to you and I've always done the best with tip stiff shafts. If you haven't tried the Aldila Rogue 125, those can be found for much cheaper. Also the Proforce V2 is always a good option. If interested the shaft I was fit into can be found below in my signature and it's very stable.

Sent from my VTR-L09 using MyGolfSpy mobile app One thing to note is that the Kuro Kage Silver TiNi is not a counterbalanced shaft, so if you switch to an AD-IZ, you’re going to have a feel difference. I had the same Kuro Kage shaft, 70X, in last year’s Mizuno driver and it felt VERY head-heavy. A counterbalanced shaft won’t. Anyway. Good luck!

The only thing that will fix your launch angle is lofting up (which will increase spin) or swinging to at least a flat AoA. A drill that really helped me was placing a second ball on the ground about 6" in front of a teed ball. Also, where do you place the ball in your stance with the driver? I always thought I was on the inside of my heel, but video showed I was about 2" towards the center from my heel. Moved the ball to my heel and it became much easier to hit the driver with a flat to + AoA.

I've seen enough videos to show this. I actually was recommended the Cobra f8+ or Mizuno ST180 for a driver head and the Accra TZ6M4 for a shaft by a club fitter online (of course he had the same numbers I gave you all here and never saw me swing) so in his opinion he figured this might be a good combo.I'm also debating going into x stiff. I've heard and seen good things with people putting up similar numbers to me and doing this. Even the truefit system recommended the Titleist 917 D3 with Aldila Rogue M*ax 65 in X-stiff.Lastly, and believe me when I say this, I would love nothing more than to go see a fitter and get fit. There is literally NO ONE anywhere close to where I live that does this. I really pay attention to my swing, get as much information as I can and study hard all aspects of clubs that would be good for me. No one knows how much I love this. If I could, I would make it a career. In my corner of the world, it wouldn't work.I do appreciate everyone's input here.

Alecchaseevans Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Not sure if this thread is still active/relevant but I have found Tour AD shafts to be WORTH EVERY PENNY. Are the expensive? Sure. But so is PXG and plenty of other golf equipment. That being said, these are not one size fits all. I highly recommend being fitted. When I saw my guy at PGA SS (Scott Swords in TX), I saw him multiple times over multiples sessions. I hit new heads with new shafts, new shafts with my existing head, different lofts, different weight settings, EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN. What was the result? He did not push me to buy a new driver head and shaft all-together, but simply recommend this shaft because of the MASSIVE spike in ball speed, carry and reduced dispersion. For my 2017 TaylorMade M2 I was hitting the Tour AD IZ 7x the best. When hitting the Titleist TS2 (when considered buying a new head) I was hitting the Tour AD DI 7x the best. Both were incredible feel. We found they were performing slightly different from each other based on the head. But all in all, I'm now carrying 280-290, whereas before, when I was in the wrong shaft for my swing, I was around 255 carry. Incredible quality, high price, but worth the penny if it yields the gains you are looking for. Hope this helps. -ACE Driver: M6 with Graphite Design TourAD IZ 7x 3W: TS2 15.75° with Tensei AV Blue 65s 3H: TS2 19° with Tensei AV Blue 70s 4i-PW, AW: i210 with KBS 130x Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM7 55°, 60° (M-grind, 8° bounce) Putter: 2019 Phantom X7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
