So I've been demoing a lot of drivers lately and with the stock shafts have been leaning towards the G10. It has, again with the stock stiff shaft, been the best performer and it's also cheaper than the other offerings out there that I like.

In the next few weeks I am going to go hit on a trackman to find the best combination for me, but would like to hear what specific shafts people would recommend I try.

My typical ball flight is high and a lot of spin. I have a quick tempo and my 5 iron distance is between 180-190. The shafts in my irons are DG S300. My typical mishit with the driver is a slice although I occasionally do pull them. I am probably going to trim the shaft shaft down a bit and although we all love it to bomb it control is a greater priority than distance.

Any thoughts?

Try the PL Red. There's no upcharge but it should drop your spin and launch down a bit. I tried the 10.5 g10 w/ stiff pl red and it was a pretty good ball flight and felt great. 9 or 9.5 would have been better for me but if you hit it high with a lot of spin the pl red should help.

I'm assuming that if you hit your 5i that far, your driver swing is around 115-120mph. Using that you should get an x-flex probably a torque around 3 and a mid launch. I would try that prolaunch v2. good shaft for your swing. this shaft will also help with the spin as well, bring it down to a resonable range. hope this helps

Really? I don't swing much over 100mph and I usually carry my 5i about 190yrds, that is my 200yrd club because I know I am going to get some roll out of it. Pros swing at like 120 and probably can carry 200yrd with their 6i. I would supect that the OP swings right around 100mph.

    • Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
