After a run on the LaunchMonitor I've been told that I should go with a stiff shaft with a high kick point "ALDILA GOLF NV 65" to be exact. ( Only picked this club as selection was limited ) Does anyone know of or recomend other high kick point shafts from other manufacturers as I want to experiment further?

Hey - where did you go to with a Launch Monitor? Not places here! I've hit that shaft before, was very nice - I liked the high kickpoint. Don't know much else about shafts though!

I've tried four shafts in the last year and like the Aldila NV proto at 60 grams and X flex. It has a very high kick point, perhaps the highest I've ever used and it is mounted in an 8.5 driver (normally I perfer a 7.5, but have been trying 8.5 lately.) Getting the ball up is not an issue with my swing, and this shaft helps the top of the flight flatten out a little more so there is great penetration. I also like the new VooDoo but for some reason the Aldila fits me better.

Choosing a shaft is always an individual matter, but the launch monitor is not a bad place to get started. Then play whatever you get for a while and decide if you need to tweak with a different shaft or head.

      Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well.

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
