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.

In my Hoofer Vantage

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?

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
