Just looking to gauge some opinions on what shaft would be a good combo with this driver head. Its at 9.5. I have no problem with my distance but I would always love to improve that. My biggest problem is my slice. I can tee off and have a monster drive and then following drive with be a monster slice. I need to be more consistently straight with my drives. I also have a brand new Black Widow Silk White grip to go on the driver whenever i decide which shaft to go with.

try cutting your current shaft down at the butt end before you reshaft it. worked for me.

i have tons more control now, and i didnt actually give up much, if any distance.

Heavier shaft works too or one with a different kick point so it will feel more stable. I have a 69g in my STR8 fit and I love it.

What shaft are you playing? What do you think would work well with a TM superfast?

Doesn't really sound like a shaft problem.

The extra-long and superlight shaft in the superfast isn't likely helping your inconsistent swing. Reshafting with a shorter and heavier shaft kills the point of that club.

I am getting it regripped I heard/read that a worn out grip can cause the driver to slide open and closed and cause the slice and hook. What do you think my problem is?

I'm playing the SuperFast 9.5* stiff and hitting it pretty good. I might have a over-sized grip put on it since my old driver had one on it. I don't have big hands but it seems to give me more feel and control when I swing.

I'm playing the UST Avix Core 69 series. I had a TM Burner 09 and switched and the shaft feels better and the overall feel of my tee shots feel more crisp and solid with the Nike.

your swing.

if its a new superfast, i doubt the grip is worn down by now anyway....

If money is no object, go for a new Graphite Design AD YSQ+ or a Matrix TPHD7. Then you will have created a demon club, capable of challenging the Hammer X.

BTW, just got the TP version myself. The all black clubhead is SICK...

Money is not really an option. I wont go out and play like $1000 for a shaft but I dont mind paying for results. I just want to top out my driver in distance and straightness.

Right now there is a Matrix Ozik XCon 4.8 Shaft on the driver now. It says Taylormade next to the Matrix Ozik logo so i assume its the stock shaft.

The XCon 4.8 is nice. The TP version comes with a Matrix HD6. Keep in mind the effect of kickpoint. If you're hitting the TM too low, try a shaft with a lower kickpoint; too high, a shaft with a higher kickpoint should work. The XCon is a high launch/low spin shaft, the HD6 mid launch/low spin. There are fitting tools available online at shaftfit.com, and, if you go through the "custom fitting" options at golfsmith.com you'll get a big list of shafts to consider. Good luck and have fun!

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
