Any suggestions for a new shaft for an 09 Burner that will cause me to have a lower trajectory?

I swing about 105 (110 if I'm swinging hard, but 105 for more control) and I have a problem hitting the ball in the clouds. Any suggestions for shafts will be greatly appreciated.

what price range are you looking for? I know many of the premium shafts have very low trajectories but may be worth the price you paid for your driver. That being said, I like the matrix ozik shaft and think it could be an option.

Yes, the ProLaunch Red is a great shaft for a lower launch with lower spin. Is your problem to do with spin or just a trajectory that is too high?

Off the top of my head, the Aldila NV, Mitsubishi JavlnFX and Diamana Whiteboard are all reasonably low launch.

I'd say the Matrix Ozix X-Con 5 is more of a mid to high launch, but you may be surprised. It may be a shaft that you don't expect that will fit your swing. Get properly fit.

I'm in the same boat and thinking I'd like the pro launch red.

How much should we expect to pay to have someone install the new shaft?

If it doesn't work out, is it possible to go back to the old shaft?

Prolaunch Red runs about $60 retail. With installation you're going to creep up close to $100 installed. If you want to be able to go back to the old shaft, just let your club maker know before he pulls it. It should not be a problem. You should also keep in mind that the prolaunch red plays significantly stiffer than other shafts.

I just got a graphite design purple ice for 30 shipped on ebay. The ball flights really low. You may want to check it out, btw it's 2005 model.

    • Can be out and up a little more. Not quite over-done yet.
    • Down the line and face on from today. Still feeling like I’m sticking the club into a hole in the ceiling above my right shoulder and then big loop inside to start downswing. That’s how it feels. Not how it looks though! Gotta keep working on this for a bit but I see a lot of progress. 😁
    • Day 5 (13 Mar 26) - Friday shootout cancelled- made it a practice round working from mixed tees. Plenty of up and down work around greens.  Best was a hole out birdie on the par 3 #5 hole - nice pitch and roll w/Pw from about 10yds off the green - dead center flagstick drop.  Much of round was focused on getting solid weight shift into lead foot. 
    • Day 208 3-13 Worked on wrist arching and flow. First time hitting reall balls at a range in months. It was nice to see ball flight. Still not sure it beats my backyard practice station. 
    • Three hole match - microphones on in the cart. It's fascinating listening to them talk about their shots and how they play them. I'm not normally a huge fan of the TM videos - they seem forced to me - but this one doesn't. It's also fun seeing their competitiveness over what on the face of it is a fairly meaningless 3 holes, but they can't help themselves.
