Based on your past experience, what is the best shaft kickpoint for a 9.5 degree driver? Low, Mid or High kickpoint?

To find out, get a driver fitting.

With a fitting, you work backward. Depending on whom you talk to, you probably want a 12* to 15* launch angle for your driver. So, you find a shaft which will give you that launch.

Kickpoint is a bit tricky on first explanation: Low-kick helps you hit ball higher, mid-kick medium, and high-kick you hit it lower.

Clubhead speed and loft, and shaft flex also come into play on launch angle.

Focus, connect and follow through!

correct me if I am wrong, but the kick point can also have an effect on the shot dispersion and generally speaking a lower kick point is generally advantagous for people who tend to slice the ball.

Again, getting a fitting from somebody who can watch your ball flight and make suggestions and allow you to try different shafts and then select the one that works best for you.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

I'mnot sure about this.....I would think, and this is purely based on specualtion, that a whippy club will lend itself to slice, but I really have not looked at it from that angle. The loft will have an effect on ball spin and contol..but shaft kick-point ..I don't really know.
