Hey guys,

I would like to put a new shaft on my driver. How/where do I go about figuring out with aftermarket shaft is best for me?

I did some research last night on the web, and Aldila's site suggested the VooDoo RVS6 based on their quick fit guide. But if I am going to spend the $$ on a new shaft, I would like to maximize the positive results.

Currently my Taylormade R7 has a stock 45g shaft. And it is too whippy for me. I want to go to at least a 65g shaft.

Any help/suggestions ar welcome!

Thanks.

If you have a retail store (or club fitter) with the Taylor Made fitting system onsite you can probably go there and try the same head you are playing with some different shafts to see how they react (hopefully on a launch monster). They would probably charge you some nominal fee for this, but at least that would help you ensure you're getting the right shaft for you. The TM fitting carts are not as common as some of the other manufacturer systems, though. Call your local Golfsmith/Golf Galaxy or whatever other retailers you have in your area. Buying a new shaft without getting a chance to try it with the clubhead you plan to use it with can be a real gamble.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
