I've been using the same driver since first picking up golf 4yrs ago. Not that i haven't tired to trade it in for a newer more adjustable driver, but every time i've contemplated a new driver, i take my current driver into the booth and consistently carry and drive it further than any other driver on the market.

This afternoon after a weekend golf event, i noticed my driver having a distinct different sound and feel. Upon inspection, i found a crack in the face and i felt as though i just witnessed my dog getting ran over by a car. It literally put me in a horrible and depressed mood for the rest of the weekend.

Today i got home and removed the head from my shaft and found that my shaft, too has failed. The fibers are all frayed and extends into the core of the shaft.

Nonetheless, my bread and butter of a driver is now gone. For the past two weeks i have been fighting a fade when i normally draw the ball. So the shaft tip being frayed as badly as it is makes me feel a lot better about my swing and knowing it was now probably the shaft. However i am left questioning myself, where do i go from here?

My current set up is the following:

Head: 9064LS

Shaft: UST Proforce V2 Flex- Stiff/ Wt- 65g/ Torque- 3.7/ Butt Stiffness-270/ Mid-7.1/ Tip stiffness-26/Tip Parallel- 4.0" and Tip OD-.335"

My moto is, don't fix it if it isn't broken, however now that i am forced to either replace or rebuild, i wanted to see what some of you have to offer as suggestions.

My swing dynamics are as follows:

Speed- 105-110

Tempo- Medium-to-Fast

Transition- Medium

Release- Medium-to-Late

I appreciate any suggestions and welcome any feedback!

Thank you.

The only advice I can give is eBay can be your friend if you do a little checking.  Something might pop up and you will have a reincarnation that you already what it is capable of.

ebay - 9064LS

Ping G30 Series G30 or Low Spin

TM R15 or Aeroburner

Callaway Big Bertha 815, and 815 DBD (low spin)

Others....

The ProForce V2 is a good shaft that is fairly dated. If you go to a new head, go to a new shaft that matches up better to the new heads.

Ping G400 Max 9/TPT Shaft, TEE EX10 Beta 4, 5 wd, PXG 22 HY, Mizuno JPX919F 5-GW, TItleist SM7 Raw 55-09, 59-11, Bettinardi BB39

+1 on the R15. I'm fairly close with your swing speed so I switched out the shaft w a S Matrix 67 gram shaft w mid torque. Def worth a demo! Good Luck!

With the

Speed- 105-110

Tempo- Medium-to-Fast

Transition- Medium

Release- Medium-to-Late

I would look at

Ping G30 LS Tec

Titleist 915 D3 or D2

Cobra Fly-Z+

Cleveland Big Bertha Alpha 815

I am not a fan of the aggressive forward CG locations. I find them too much to handle sometimes. I think you can get enough off the spin to optimize and still keep them workable and more forgiving.

I think any shaft with a medium-high to high kick point, 60's or 70's gram shafts, with stiff or x-stiff flex depending on how the fitting goes.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind.
