[=3][/]with 80 mph swing speed what kind of shaft and driver should I be upgrading too. Have callaway chit with senior shaft flex a tour tech 55w. He seems to be out growing not sure what to try. Lady's flex hits well but would need to take inch or less off but I'm worried that will stiffen up. Also have dri tac Winn grips . Really soft and he likes them a lot . Any reviews on them for juniors

I don't think cutting an inch off the butt end will stiffen the shaft that much. I've done it. It did lighten the swing weight.

Getting a properly fitted driver would be the best way to go . It will probably be a special order depending upon how tall he is. 2014 standard model Callaway Big Bertha drivers can be had for a song right now... new. There are stores that still have some. You'll have to look. It's a very nice forgiving driver and has a very nice shaft in it. He's on the borderline for a Regular shaft.

I tried custom fitting the other day at golf Galaxy and the guy telling me that club length don't matter it's all about can he control club. I told him looks like he can't control because it's too long he needs to choke down . He wasn't willing to cut club down. Maybe need to go to golfsmith

Well, here's the deal. I play with a regular shaft 44.5" 2014 Big Bertha Standard. Mine is a 10.5 degree, and I have it set for +1 degrees. It will go to +2 degrees. For an 80 mph SS +2 degrees will probably be optimal. I originally had trouble getting the 45.5" shaft length square, so I had it cut. I'm 6'.

But you might be able to find a women's 2014 Callaway Big Bertha Standard which would probably be perfect. They come in 44.5" shaft length with a C9 swing weight, and right now will be around $150. They're 13.5 degree loft. Check stores, and Callaway Pre-owned, and e-bay.

That sounds great . Loft seems high he hits 10.5 Callaway xhot but has closed at 9.5. He still gets the ball really high so looking for 9.5 or 10.5 loft at most hopefully can adjust to 8.5 or 9.5 . I'll check Callaway preowned . I stay away from eBay one time bought knock off taylormade not knowing and found out year later it was a fake

Funny reading later been away. Stuck with callaway Xhot replaced shaft men's regular trimmed it and after 6 months in cross fit he is pumping it 250 all day.  13 yrs old might be 90 lbs soaking wet. Lol he will carry it 250
