Driver: 10.5° Burner Superfast Stiff Flex-1" butt cut.  Iomic Sticky grip, 1 addtl wrap.

Club Speed:          Ball Velocity:          Spin:          Launch Angle:

110.58                    155.6                   2,846            8.7

108.49                    162.7                   2,544           10.0

108.06                    162.1                   2,494            9.7

107.41                    161.1                   2,344            7.7

107.52                    161.3                   2,313            7.6

Ok as you can see I can generate a good amount of clubhead speed and the spin rate is close to optimal with the current shaft.  What does suck is my angle of attack.  Ok, it really sucks.

Since the launch angle is terrible would I be hurting myself even more by switching out to a heavier, stiffer tip shaft that produces less spin?  I would like to have a heavier shaft to help with the transition a bit but do not want to make these numbers even worse.

Additionally, I wanted some thoughts to see if I am playing the correct flex?  It looks like I am right between a stiff and x flex shaft depending on the model.  The shaft I had in mind was an Aldila RIP 60 or a Project X 6.0 or 6.5 (not sure which is the right flex).  I have hit both with an R9 and feel good and I can still get the ball in the air fine.  Actually I launch it higher with the R9 than I do the Superfast.....
