Those of you in the know, please break this down for me. I want to know what this driver compliments and what it doesn't.

Stiff Flex; 60 grams; 3.1 Torque; Low to Mid Trajectory / Mid to High Kick

if you're looking for a lower, bit more boring trajectory, then sounds like this shaft would do it.

I am still getting high drives with this, so should I look at lower lofts? My previous driver was 8.5 and this one is 9.5. I tried teeing the ball down some to keep it from getting so high and it did not work all the time. Maybe I should try a 7° Ping G10 club and see what happens. I have always hit the ball high on drives, I don't know if it is a swing flaw because I have always had good distance and streaks of nice straight hitting.

My current driver has the Matrix Ozik 5.5 and the TM R7 Limited head 9.5 with the above specs. I would say 7 degree club would be over kill but I haven't seen an 8 degree club either. I wish I could get a video of my trajectory from the side but I will probably just have to wait for the launch monitor.

hmmm... whats your swing speed like?

I'd say at 9.5* R7, you shouldn't really be getting TOO much air..though i dont know much about the Matrix Ozik 5.5. Might wanna look into switching out the shaft with a definite high kickpoint shaft like the ProLaunch Red or something.

I would say go with a heavier shaft to bring your flight down. Try a 70-75 gram shaft with a high kick.

Check out the Proforce V2 I think its 75g....mine is pretty heavy. I like being able to keep my ball below the tree tops and out of the wind.

I hate to ask, but if your current driver is working well then why reshaft?

so he can best optimize his drives.

You can try the UST Proforce V2 76 in a stiff or a UST Axivcore 79. Think they are $50 and $80 on eBay respectively.

Yea what he said. As stated in previous posts, my trajectory appears too high and the ball just kinda hangs up there and I am afraid I am leaving something on the table as far as distance. Furthermore, I just can not leave stuff alone so I am trying to make sure I get maximum out of my drives.

Thanks for the infomation guys I am probably going to continue to learn more before I buy anything, I am not someone who likes to trial and error with money. I want to get it right the first time.

yea most of the matrix shafts are mid/high launching. I like them so far though.

I am looking at a Ping G10 7.5* driver with a E360 Fujikura shaft. The shaft doesn't appear far off the Matrix but maybe the loft will even it out. Any thoughts?

just changing the loft of your driver still won't get you optimal trajectory. your best bet is to get the shaft fitted, not the loft.

Ok, then stick with the 9.5 head for now?

9.5 with that shaft shouldn't be outrageously high. Go see a pro if you can, for the peace of mind if nothing else. Could be swing mechanics/impact position that is causing the high ball flight.

      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.
