haha and thats why finding a shaft over the internet is hard!

I agree Ft-IQ is high launch. Project X shafts driver shafts are really good. I just tested the 6.5 and it is a spin killing machine. My trajectory was flat, with lose spin. Lower spin than a whiteboard with great feel. Highly recommended.

Thanks for all of your help guys!

Another shaft I'm thinking about checking out is the Fujikura Rombax Z708. It looks like a god one, although a very high priced one.

I haven't thrown the idea of keeping my burner 09 just yet... but if I'm going to do that, I've gotta find the shaft that works.

I'm almost to the point I'd like to find the shaft I love and always keep it - changing only the head if I want a new driver. I read that the Burner 09 I have is a low spin driver so I might want to hang on to it... although the FT-IQ looks like a beast.

Let me ask this... how particular are you guys with your clubs? For example, last season I was a little disheartened when I placed my bag too close behind me during an iron shot and on the way down I hit my driver... leaving a scrape/dent where the crown meets the bottom... it's not a big dent. It's really small actually, it's just that I notice it and my flawless paint job is no longer flawless. Would that bother you?

How much can a shaft decrease the spin rate? Obviously it depends on the shaft but, a low spinning shaft like a whiteboard or the pm702 that someone talk about earlier in the thread. How much can it affect the spin rate?

Quite a bit. Flex point, stifness, and kick can all affect launch and spin. Take a ladies flex shaft and a lond drive XX shaft into a simulator some time with the same head, and look at the difference between the spin rates.

Thanks for all of your help guys!

the 7Z08 is a killer shaft... played one in a 3 wood for a while and it absolutely smokes it.. similar to the whiteboard in my opinion.

As for the scrape, that would drive me nuts. If i say got a brand new driver and i put a scratch on it, i can hardly look at it.. regardless of if it affects playability or not, it just annoys me Watch out with the IQ as well, its gonna want to draw the ball, i can hardly move the ball to the right with my buddys IQ. If you wanna get a real low spin driver, check out a TM tour issue V1 burner TP, or a SuperQuad 282, then toss a PM702 in it. That would be the definition of knuckle ball...

Thanks LAX. You've been a big help. I may go hit some drivers when demo days comes around... but I'm leaning towards keeping my burner and shaft shopping.

The dent really does bother me too... not that it affects the driver, just because I know it's there. It kinda sucks... like if you have a scratch on your car even though it drives fine, haha. But if I replace my driver with an identical new driver, my wife will think I'm nuts!

    • Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.
    • PGA Tour players weight shift to their lead foot way sooner and to a higher % than amateur. I would say it is something like close to 90% lead foot at impact for PGA Tour player. For Amateurs it could be under 50%. You need to get the weight transfer over more and sooner. You can't rely on the feeling of finishing on the lead foot as validation you did so. 
    • Just because it's a small league at a county course doesn't mean their couldn't be a small group of people who take on the role/responsibility of ensuring the rules are properly enforced and being the rules committee for your league   That's the whole point of GUR. It's a temporary thing. Also like I mentioned before, since you're playing on the same course it's highly likely this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened to a bunker on this course.   There's nothing that needs changed though. There is the rule for how the situation is supposed to be handled as well as an alternative for how it could have been handled differently via a committee. Just because your league chooses not to have a committee doesn't mean the rules of golf need changed for everyone.   Absurd logic. You and your opponent can't just agree on rules and make things up as you go. If it's just a 1v1 match for fun, sure do whatever you want. In an actual league with other competitors, no shot. Everyone needs to play by the same rules. How would you feel if someone else in the league took a casual drop on a different hole and their playing partner agreed with it but you didn't agree with it and you found out about it later?
    • I suggest you actually read some of the Rules, either online or on the USGA (or R&A) phone app.  Here's the Definition of Committee: You have a small league, whoever is in charge of that league is the Committee.  This would be the same person (group) who might decide that you should play Lift Clean and Place (Modal Local Rule E-3), to institute the "leaf rule", (MLR F-14), or that you should move a ball out of aerification holes (MLR E-4).  
    • Website. And yeah I was asking about the specifics within those sections under the performance tab. I guess the strokes gained by distance like you noted is probably a good place to start. This would indicate that my wedges need practice, which I figured as much so I'm not surprised by that   Some of the other ones specifically around the short game I struggle to make sense of what it actually means. Like I know this chart is measuring the percentage of the time that I get the ball within certain proximity ranges but I don't know from a quick glance at this where I need to improve.   But then again I guess these two would seem to indicate that it's chipping inside 25yds from the rough that has the most room for improvement? Does it seem like I'm interpreting that right?
