So i just bought the new G15 driver (9* stiff Serrano Aldila shaft) about two weeks ago and I really enjoy playing with it, but ive noticed the combination of the low launch shaft and 9* head has me below my optimum ball flight, causing me to lose distance. Should i get a 10.5* head or a higher launch shaft like a grafalloy blue? thanks alot!

The Titleist NXT tour ball your using has 392 dimples that creates a lower ball flight. A cheaper way may be to try some higher trjectory balls first. The proV1X has 332. You may want to try that. The DT carry has 252 that will get up there for sure.

this.

And a generally more reliable way is to get the new head, but that is generally more expensive than the new shaft.

I hadn't even though about that, thanks a lot and I will try that for sure! Any other possibilities or suggestions? Most of the shots I catch pretty clean of the face but as the get to about 210 or 220 it just kind of dives to the ground and rolls to about 240 250, instead of 270, 280. Cussin hacker, I also have 2 sleeves of titleist HP2 balls. That or the DT carry? Thanks alot!

Thanks for the suggestion. I understand it would cost more, but why more reliable than swithing shafts? thanks!

the head angle has much more "consistant" effect on the shot then the shaft. Shaft helps, but head sets the basis for the shot, and shaft modifies it generally.

maybe try teeing it up different heights and see how that affects flight.

When i got the driver the guy suggested the shaft and degree because sometimes i would hit down on it instead of up on the ball causing sort of a "pop up" and he said it would help for my good shots and also get more distance out of those pop ups?

I played the HP2 today actually and it did seem to almost float a little more and get a little more hangtime. No drives where the ball really dove to the ground. about 5 or so more yards on average id say, just a little less roll because of the higher trajectory i guess. But I was pleased.

Titlleist no longer makes the HP2 although I have seen them at Wally world. Sounds like a lower # dimpled ball may work for ya. If you try another ball keep us posted.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
