Hey,

I'm looking for a new shaft for both my nike SQ hybrid and my TM Burner 3-wood. I would like to keep it below $100 per shaft, so a decently not expensive shaft, but I definately want a good shaft that fits me. What shafts should I look at? Just some info so you guys can help me...

The reason I'm getting a new shaft is because I have been hitting these clubs too high, so I want something with a lower ball flight.

I'm not a smooth swinger, more of a fast-tempo. My SS is around 105-110.

My handicap is about a 5.

Thanks.

Grafalloy Prolaunch red should work to get you that lower trajectory. I'm actually about to pull one out of my Adams A3 hybrid in stiff flex in favor of something that gives me a higher launch, if you're interested PM I'd be willing to let it go well within your budget.

What about the UST Proforce v2 hybrid and wood shaft?

It seems like for a long time they have been a really popular shaft for players looking for a good mix between price and performence.

Would it work for my swing though? I've heard it works better for people with more smooth swings though?

I think the Proforce V2 may work, it's not especially known to be a lower trajectory shaft more mid.

I would try the V2... its a great shaft that will give you mid launch and they are only $70 a shaft, but you might be able to get a deal if you find a good club fitter. I'm looking to put one of these shafts in my driver as soon as my club fitter gets one in stock.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
