Testers Wanted! Callaway Ai Smoke Drivers & AutoFlex Dream 7 Driver Shafts ×

Which shaft should I choose


Recommended Posts

So I just got my hands on a used 915 F2 it came with a diamana blue s+ 70g shaft.  In the past I have not loved diamana shafts.  Anyway I was going through my golf "stuff" and found a uncut Aldila Voodoo xstiff 65g shaft.  I am wondering if you think it might work well in this 3 wood.  I dont remember very much about this shaft and havent found a ton online to use to compare them.  Unfortunately I dont have a extra Titliest tip so I cant easily test them out 🙄.  Any suggestions?

If you don’t care about the adjustability you can buy an adapter for $20 at The Golfworks, then test them both!

Not knowing anything about what you are trying to do,  it is impossible for us to really answer this question.  Will it work in a 3 wood...yes.   Will it work for you.....unknown.  

You can buy adapters for titleist clubs on ebay to test the shaft.   Here's one source:  https://www.dallasgolf.com/titleist-913-915-917-fairway-wood-shaft-adapter-adjustable-tip/   but they are easily found on ebay and with a basic google search.

Sorry dont know what I was thinking. I have a smooth swing with a middle to late release. swing speed is between 95 and 102 with a 3 wood. I prefer a stiff handle and my miss with driver and 3 wood is a slice to the left.

Are you a lefty? Or are you hooking the ball to the left? It’s really hard to say without knowing what is causing the miss. The general rule of thumb is softer shaft = miss left. But that rule has been broken by countless players depending on impact characteristics. The real benefit from a shaft is how it works with your strengths and dynamics to promote proper delivery of the face. If I had to go in blind I’d say the Voodoo is a better fit. But that’s a guess, actual mileage may vary. 
 

Just saying, shaft adapters are quick and cheap to buy/install...

I think I am going to have to try both out and see which works best.
