Im about to purchase an ft-i driver and am deciding between the 2 shafts mentioned above. I tend to sky the ball pretty often so i would like a lower trajectory and i also am prone to slicing occasionally so a little less spin might be nice also. Any comments on which shaft would be better will be greatly appreciated

Im pretty sure the red grafalloy is made to make the ball go higher but im not completely sure. What i do know is i had the Speeder shaft on my last 3 wood and i could not get the ball in the air even if i hit it good so it would probably work out good for you. I vote for the speeder 586.

the grafalloy red is in fact a lower launching shaft. I read up on it before i decided to go with it in my 3 wood.

JSwiney, whenyou say sky the ball, do you mean pop it up or just hit it high?.. because if you mean pop it up, the shaft will do nothing for that. I assume you mean you hit it high tho. anyways i use the grafalloy red and its a solid shaft. fuji makes good shafts as well but i dont think ive hit the one you name.

Putter first

If you're about to spend serious money on a driver, why not get a proper fitting rather than just buy one off the rack based on other folks' recommendations?

A launch monitor will give you the information you need?

yes by sky it i mean hitting it very high with lots of spin. The reason i am forced to buy off the shelf is that the nearest swing monitor and well stocked golf shop is around 2 hours away and none of the local clubs will let buyers demo clubs.

    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
