Shaft Specs help

[raymo]

I posted in another thread but wanted to start a new thread.

I have a TM R7 steel 3 wood. I really like it with the UST V2 shaft stiff flex. The only problem is out of all my clubs this one always tails off right (fade). It's hard for me to move the ball from right to left with this club also. I have not had my SS measured but I play a stiff shaft V2 in my Nike driver with no issues. I carry that about 250 and my 6 iron carry distance is 165 so I think I should be playing a stiff shaft. I notice if I really go after it I hit it straight and far but with a slower / smoother swing it fades off a bit and the ball flight is noticeably lower.

I know the UST is 2.9 torque and 67 grams. I was thinking about shafting it with a pro launch platinum or YS 6 +. Both have roughly 3.5 torque and the same swing weight.

Does it also sound like I need a softer flex or + torque shaft to help with a smoother swing?

Thanks in advance for your help.

you might be onto something there. instead of getting a higher torque shaft, see if you can find a regular flex that is tip stiff (low torque) and see how that works for you.

That's an idea. I always hated the whippy feeling of a regular flex shaft but with the stiff tip it evens out I guess. Do you know of any good stiff tip shafts?
