I-Mix Driver Shaft Selection

[pitchinwedge]

Hey guys,

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on a shaft for an 9.5 degree FT-9 driver. Was recommended a Graphite Design YSQ 65 stiff wanted to consider some other options, too. My swing speed averages 100mph with a fairly smooth, moderate tempo. I'm not mechanical and like to be a little "handsy" to whip it through impact.

With the YSQ, launch is around 14 degrees with 2200rpm spin, flat trajectory. It all sounds good on paper, but I'm not crazy about the way the shaft feels. I'm thinking it might be a tad too stiff? So what other shafts do ya'll think I should try as an alternate? Can't wait to hear your comments!

P.S. Love the IMIX!

I have the Fubuki Tour 63 stiff and I think you'll like the feel of this shaft better than the YS6. You should also try the Blueboard, ZCOM 6, Speeder 686. I have not tried the Motore F1 but have heard a lot of buzz with it also.

Blueboard looks promising. What's the difference between the Zcom, fubuki, and 686? They're all from Fuji, right?

[buttuh]

They're all mid-high launch. 686 and the ZCOM are by Fuji. Blueboard and Fubuki are by Mitsu. Blueboard is a high launch high spin. Fubuki is a new shaft that's supposed to be high launch but lower spin.

Thanks buttuh, I'll look into those.

You might like the Fubuki. I got a Fubuki and a whiteboard. Am really liking the whiteboard right now, but it's a low launch shaft so it might not be what you are looking for.

Try the Fubuki or Blueboard.
