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.

ProLaunch Platnium. Great shaft.

Wedges: Tour-W 52*, 56* SM, 60* SM

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.

    • Day 252: worked on chipping for a while with my chipping net. Worked on low, medium, and high shots. Productive session. 
    • Day 180 - 2025-03-29 Not a long time today, but I got my five minutes in jumping and doing some work on the downswing.
    • I’ll just stick to the basics for now - got enough to work on… this is my home practice range. The little clearing in about the center of the photo is roughly 200 yards.

    • Played Musgrove Mill today. 72.3/155. +9 for 15 official holes as 2 holes are closed, and the par 5 16th plays as a converted par 3. We played the first three holes over to finish 18, and parred 1 and2 amped bogeyed 3. The good: hit every fairway. 1 less than normal for the converted par 3, but the second time I have done that this year. My sand wedge approach on 10 after a monster drive hit the pin in the back left corner hit he pin and spun away to 9’, and I missed the putt.   The great: hit 8 GIR and 7 were inside 10’. Needs work: Missed every birdie putt. No lip-outs. Just struggled on fast greens. Three-putted the par-5 9th with the pin on the back tier and jut missed hitting my approach to the proper level and it spun all the way to the front of the green.
