I currently have an callaway I mix FT-9 tour with the Mit Rayan Fubuki shaft on it. It is 59 grams, torque of 3.6 and has a bend point of mid.

My issue with the driver is that I can't turn it over consistantly. I miss with big fade's almost slices if I don't go after it. I have another driver I use and I have no issues hitting draws so I am confident I can draw the ball. The closest thing I can get to a draw is a 3 or 4 yard fade. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when a shaft is too stiff you tend to slice it, too weak over hooks.

I know the best solution is to go get on a launch monitor and get fitted but that is expensive unless I buy the shaft there and it will end up being twice what I can get it for on callaway preowned.

Should I get the same shaft with the regular flex shaft IYO? It really isn't that expensive or show I try to find a weaker stiff shaft to put in this club. My swing speed is just below 100, I fly my driver right at 240, hit a my 7 iron 155-160. I feel like I am right in between stiff and regular flex.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi!

I was looking for a new driver this last winter and ended up buying into the I-Mix system. I ended up with a 10 degree and a 8.5 degree head, with three or four shafts of differing flexes and weights. I liked the 10 degree, but I like the 8.5 better; doesn't hook as much! Anyways, most of the shafts can be had pretty cheaply online at ebay etc, and there's a guide for the different shaft specs at Callaway's website. Grab a couple of shafts and see what fits and if not sell them to someone else! (I also had a couple of the shafts trimmed down 3/4", and they seem to work much better for me)

Hope this helps!
Mike

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
