Driver Shafts for Lower Flight?

[MCG Ireland]

I hit it very high.

Usually, not problematically so, but at times, in the wind, things can get a bit nuts.

I use a 9 degree G10 with a Graffalloy Pro Launch Red S flex.

I'm 26 years old, 6ft 4, and my handicap is between 5 and 6 so I generate a decent amount of power.

Here's my swing...



I'd be interested to hear from anyone who could advise if a different driver spec (make/model/shaft) might give me a stronger, more boring flight.

I'm happy with the yards I'm hitting it. Mainly seeking more control.

Mitsubishi Diamana Whiteboard, Graphite Design PM 702, and Aldila ProtoPype are low launch low spin shafts.

Thanks for that.

I'll talk to our club pro about them.

I've actually been told the opposite.

I've tried it myself (That's actually it in the youtube video I'm hitting) and found it nice and solid feeling but the flight wasn't great.

Do you hit all your clubs high or just your driver?

Generally yes, but not in a yards-losing, fluffy kind of way - it's just my natural flight. I get lessons from a good pro regularly and I do ask him sometimes if shots are too high but he insists it's not a problem once they're well struck and controlable, which they are - especially since I got my new irons.

They are TM Tour Burners with PX 6.0 Unflighted (not Tour Flighted) shafts. I hit them high in general but can, when necessary, fire shots in quite low. I changed from Dynamic Gold x100 in Ping i3+ Blade irons which I bought a few years ago, prior to a break from golf when I played off a lower h'cap of 3. These had a much weaker, higher flight I found. Anyway, back on point, the one club I find can balloon a bit is the driver so I put this out there to see if there's anything that might help in terms of spec.

Aldila NV launches pretty low for me.
Beautiful swing, btw.

I've actually been told the opposite.

If that was a stock shaft for the G10, then it was the V2 High Launch, which as you can tell, is a high lunch shaft, where as the Proforce V2 is a mid-low launch shaft.

Ah I see.

It was a stock shaft in a Titleist D2 - I assume the same. Cheers for that.

[907golfer12]

Ah I see.

Hmm, the stock shaft in the D2 is the regular Proforce, I would say try like a V2 or Prolaunch Red in an X-Stiff and see if that works a bit better, you may lose some distance, but I think the ball flight will be lower.

Yeah a few years ago I did have the previous version of the ProForce shaft in x flex. Was more cumbersome than stiff. I have been thinking about what I have (PL Red) but in x rather than s.

I suppose, like anything else, I'll try get my hands on one to have a bash of it and decide then.
