Ok, when I first got my driver I bought it with the stock shaft because of my low ball flight. Now I hit my driver a little too high. I think I should get a medium launch shaft but I dont know what the shaft market is like now a days.


What are the well designed medium launch shafts?

Driver: G10 10.5 Stock Shaft
3 Wood: Taylormade r580XD
Irons: AP2 3-P, Project X 5.5
Wedges: Tour-W 52*, 56* SM, 60* SM
Putter: Studio Select Newport 1.5 34"Ball: ProV1 or ProV1xLow Score:74

I'd at least consider the UST Proforce V2 on my short list. It's not just a great shaft for the money, it's a great shaft. Consistant ball flight with a ton of feedback. I love this shaft. I have one installed in a Ping G5 and I'd be hard pressed to kick this driver out of my bag. It's not a very "exotic" shaft, but anybody anywhere can install it for you. Just my opinion.

Good luck!

red board is high ball flight as far as i know. i did the same thing you did by getting a g10 with that degree and the stock shaft. i have a different driver now, but i have used the v2 before and it is a great shaft. that will probably be your best option for the money. now if you want a great shaft that i currently play, get the graphite design ysQ. it is mid ballflight and soooo consistent. either of these shafts will be great for you.

Just for your information a "low or mid" launch shaft will not change your trajectory more than two degrees. Also it will only change your trajectory if you have a late to very late wrist release.

Whats in the bag?
