Driver Shaft Recommendations

I know most of you are going to say "go get fitted," - but I was just hoping to gather some input from you guys as well.

I'm currently playing an 11* Callaway x460 with the stock Fujikura Regular flex shaft. My swing speed is pretty slow - in the 90-95MPH area.

I love the head, but I think the combination of the shaft and the 11* is making me push it up way too high. I don't sky it. It just has a climbing trojectory and at its peak I get a fade.

In addition to the fade, becase it goes so high, playing in the wind becomes very difficult.

With all that background, what would you recommend for a shaft? I'm looking for control and a mid-trajectory. Perferably a shaft in the $50-100 area.

Thanks in advance!

I play a 9* x460 with a Stiff Fujikura and also find that it's a bit higher trajectory then I'd like. I personally like the UST Proforce V2 in a couple clubs, I find it brings the trajectory down and is pretty cheap, shop around and you should be able to get one for ~$50.

I am in the process of reshafting my Taylormade Burner Draw 10.5 Driver with a UST Proforce V2 regular shaft (65g). I've read great things about the Proforce V2, and am looking forward to trying it out. My current shaft is the 50g Taylormade stock regular shaft, which is quite light and a bit whippy. I got the Proforce V2 at Golfsmith for about $55 using a 20% off coupon, and they are doing the reshafting.

Like you, I know the mantra to get fitted, but I weighed the different options and went based upon that. I think my swing speed puts me closer to a regular than a stiff shaft, but I play stiff shafts pretty well also, so I went with the regular Proforce V2 which is supposed to play pretty stiff for a regular. Should be perfect for me. And I went with the non-high launch V2 shaft since I get good loft already with my 10.5 head, and the 10.5 combined with the V2 should give my drives a nice trajectory.

That's my .02 cents. Plenty of good shafts out there--everyone will pretty much post what they use--Aldila, UST, Fujikura, etc. Good luck in your search.

vista pro if you can find one.

Hard to recommend. A good (very good) all-rounder I would advocate is the Graphite Design YS6+. GD's "stiff" flex is usually considered a bit softer than other OEMs so I might go with the YS6+, stiff, 65g. Mid-launch, stable, great feel. Want a lower launch and a bit more stiffness, try the 75g version or the YS7+. For more money, try their newer YSQ 65 in stiff.

I agree that the V2 is a good shaft. I'd move to a stiff shaft as your swing speed is on the border for stiff. Since it's still on the low side, I'd select a lighter shaft in the line.

I have the GD YS6+ in an 07 Burner. Great low to mid launch shaft. Stiff would like work for you in this shaft as it is a little weaker than most stiff shafts I've seen.
