Thinking of pickign one of these up off of Ebay as they can be had pretty cheap...is this shaft pretty decent...I currently have a 45" XStiff TFC shaft in my G15 and I think I went a hair overboard on the stiffness...just looking for something a hair less stiff and these 909D2's get good reviews and its 45" as well. How would this shaft launch in comparison to what I have now with is a pretty low ball flight also hoping to pick up a few yards with the added whip/flexability...my current driver is a 10.5 and I'm thinking of going to a 9.5 with the less stiff shaft for the Titleist combo...whatchu guys think?

the TFC is by no means a low ball flight shaft. if anything its a high ballf light shaft with a low kickpoint. With that said, you're using X-stiff and if you dion't have the speed for that, you're probably not giving your shaft the flex it needs to whip the ball out there.

The Diamana Blue is similar to the TFC in that its a low kickpoint shaft, designed to get the ball up in the air. You'll see higher trajectories with the Diamana Blue. I do warn you though...you're buying a driver blind frmo Ebay. Why not go and get fitted for the right shaft?

hard to get fitted because of my location...I'm better off buying in the blind and if it doesnt work sell it locally for simlar pricing...my driver swing speed is around 110
anyways trying to put together a 2nd set of clubs for when my family and friends visit here as a loaner set so if the clubs dont work I'll still have use for them....im wondering if the shaft I'm playing is much stiffer than the stock 45.75 shaft being mine is cut .75" making it even stiffer? maybe find a x stiff shaft that is on the weak side or stiff on the strong side?

    • Day 8 (28 Jun 26) - Worked with face position at address and overall setup - open/neutral/closed - and setting up for resulting shot shapes - using 8i and hard foam balls.  It was abbreviated as the thunder began to rumble. Got in about 20 swings before calling it. 
    • Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
