I have the Taylor made R9 TP with the stock Fujikura Motore TP Stiff shaft. I love the feel off the head, it is perfect, but I do find I hit the ball too high and in wind I struggle to control my ball flight.

I am looking for a .335 shaft that will hit the ball lower than I currently do, the shaft stiffness is fine. Most of the shaft specs I see online state a high or mid ball flight.

Thanks.

Perhaps you are looking for a high kick point (tip firm) shaft. The firmer the tip of the shaft, the lower the angle you will launch.
