Rhammer18 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Good afternoon, I currently play a TSI2 driver My swing speed is about 98 miles an hour The shaft in my driver is the Tensei Blue AV SFW 55 gram stiff. I practice with the Lagshot driver. When using the Lagshot driver, I can feel the head load. However, when I swing my driver, I am UNABLE to FEEL the head load in the shaft. I am looking for a shaft that would help me have a better feeling of the head loading. I have done extensive research on graphite design shafts, but not any other manufacture What do you suggest? null 1 Quote TS2 woods TS2 fairways & hybrid T300 5-8 T200 9& Pw wedges SM8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say exactly what you should be looking for since everyone gets different feels from different shafts. Some things to think about: Swing weight: Adding weight to your driver head, or moving towards a more low balance point shaft could give you more feeling in the head Shaft profile: A softer butt section or mid section could help provide a "loading" sensation that you are looking for. So it really is going to come down to finding something that feels good to you - not really going to be a straight forward process. I am a HUGE Graphite Design wood shaft fan. I would immediately steer you to the AD DI. I love a shaft that feels explosive, while still feeling smooth. A great stable feel without feeling boardy or lifeless. As you can see in my signature I play AD DI in every single graphite shaft in my bag. The BB is another classic shaft from GD that is even softer in the handle than the DI, but stiffer in the tip. Another great feeling shaft that allowed me to really feel the shaft load. KC Golf, edingc and Rhammer18 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyBobby_PR Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 It could be as simple as your swing with the driver has the club out of position and that’s why you can’t feel it and more than likely a shaft won’t change that. The reality is that we all have different feels, preferences and swings that choosing a shaft blindly is anyones guess. There are two ways to find out. Getting fit or buying shafts and trying them. As Mr lukes points out it could be a swing weight issue, an overall weight/balance issue, weight of the shaft or that a blue profile doesn’t fit your swing.
