driver shaft weight??

[mazza78]

Hi,im thinking off changing my driver too a stiff shafted one due to my quick swing speed which is around 100 mark but wanted some advice as to whether or not or should i say how heavy a shaft to go for?? 65g/55g etc. Any feedback would be good as im unsure as to what affect the different weight shaft will cause!!

thanks

How straight of a driver are you?

A lighter shaft gets quicker SS but it is also harder to control.

A heavier shaft gets slower SS but it is easier to control.

For me, I'm going 65 or 75 Proforce V2 or Aldila NV

to be honest can hit straight most of time but would say 50% of the time i have a fade,10% slice,40% straight!! no ones perfect!! lol!! just wanted advice with what weight would be best for my swing speed and shot shape!!

I would suggest going somewhere and having them suggest what shaft would be best. A good fitter will be able to tell you what shaft is best for your swing and clubhead. There are so many other variables in shafts other than weight and stiffness.

If you are swinging 100mph you need nothing less than 65g. Anything under that would be too light. But, do whatever works....nothing else really matters. Like I tell my friends, "Who cares if you are hitting a 9 from 155 and i hit a 7, I still make par!"
