Just to name a few. For the price I'd try a PL Red. I have one in a GEEK FS3.

DUDE,

I'm sorry to have to say this because I know you get a lot of flack for this….but maybe you should at least try SOME capitalization and punctuation. It is really annoying to try to decipher some of the things you write. Firstly, try not to write in a stream of consciousness. Secondly, include at least SOME periods and/or commas. This isn't a chat room, it's a discussion board. That being said, I promise to never bring it up again. I realize you are just 13. And I also have to admit, at 36 years of age, even my writing skills have suffered since the whole texting phenomenon started. And for your original thread question, I would imagine the V2 would be right in the group you are looking for. Is the spin rate you quoted really too high?

Yea man, the V2 really should be what your lookin for..

Perhaps lessons? Cuz if you got fitted like you said, that means that the V2 was a pretty good match for you not all that long ago, (i mean, your 13..) so that would leave me to belive that at some point your swing has changed, where a few lessons may be worth more than that shiny new RedBoard Ion..Equipment only does so much, and unless your Phil, your probobly not gonna change shafts everytime your Spin rates change more than you would like..

I think you should try sticking with that shaft for a while. Get some lessons and see how it goes, if that doesn't work try out graphite design ysq or pershing , their shafts are smooth and mid launch with fairly low spin.

I think this might of been do to the balls i was using cause i went back today and brought with me a sleeve of nike one blacks and the spin rate was down to 2600 and lower. So i think maybe they were the top flite z balata balls that they sometimes use in there simulators.

Do Does not mean, "Due"

But that doesnt make sence..I have never seen a Top Flite that spins more than a Black..

Technology is a beautiful thing, but when you start getting fussy about small things that i doubt you can see on the course..you may be taking it a bit far.

How far do you hit your driver? I am assuming you hit it 230+ just based on the fact that you are using a stiff shaft.

Generally, 2900-3000 is roughly ideal as far as spin rates go (again, using a rough estimate for distance and what not). I would take a look at your ballflight on an actual range before you start making shaft changes based on simulator numbers. Just my two cents.

Monster Tour 10.5* w/ Redboard 63
FP400f 14.5* w/ GD YSQ
Idea Pro 18* w/ VS Proto 80s
MP FLi-Hi 21 w/ S300
CG1 BP w/ PX 6.0 SM 54.11 SM 60.08 Sophia 33"

thank you crafty and after the sand trap brought me back to earth i got the fact that '' what i am i thinking'' and i hit my driver 250 yards the odd one 260 270 and i think that 2900 to 300 is ok but the lower the spin the higher the launch angle the better. All though the lower the spin the more side spin can be imparted on the ball so i am happy with 2600 spin and 11.5 launch for now. Happy golfing

AK,

If your a +1 like it states on you info page, then you should know if your getting 2900 to 3000rpms on your spin rate your right where you need to be. A player like yourself should be looking at lauch numbers.

I had a 60 gram Fujikura in a stiff flex in my driver. I was struggling alot with it ballooning on me. I got fitted and found out I had a fast tempo and a 120 average mph swing speed. My fitter put a Harrison Mugen No Limit s70 tipped to 290 range cfms or xstiff. I now hit a beautiful draw with a 315 yd average. My 2 longest drives have been 340 +.... I truly believe in getting a correct shaft for your swing. I was averaging 280 before with an ultra high ball fade

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By Ty_Webb ·

      At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.

      That sounds like a small sample size issue. What if the PGA tour event he was trying to get into just happened to fit his game perfectly? Also, he could just be playing hot right now. I’ll put this in the wait-and-see category.

      I've used a construction laser for years. Far less expensive than the PuttAim laser.

      True, but as 15 year olds go, he has a much better chance of getting there than any of the rest of them. Kid can flat out play. He almost Monday'd into a PGA tour event a few weeks ago too. Missed in a playoff.

      I'd bet against him having much success as a pro, because of, you know… the odds. You don't want to be the best 15-year-old in the game. You want to be the best 25-year-old in the game.
