I traded in my Ping G10 for a Burner Superfast a couple of weeks ago and, for the most part, have been hitting it well.  However, I've noticed that I really have to be mindful of not swinging too hard or else I start spraying shots.  The other thing I've noticed is that by choking down I'm able to hit much straighter shots (which I understand is due to the ridiculously long shaft in the Superfast).  That made me think that maybe I should just trim the stock Ozik shaft.

However, when I was trying out the Superfast on a launch monitor, I was getting spin rates of 3.6-3.9k.  My swing speed was mid-90s.  On the course I'm having to tee the ball pretty low (although I had to do the same with the G10) to keep from popping my drives up.

So, I'm just wondering if switching to a heavier, lower spin shaft might bee good for me.  Is the ProLaunch Red a good candidate, or will it reduce my spin rate too much?  Or, should I just stick with the stock Ozik and get it trimmed?

The PL red will bring the ball flight down and should also bring down your spin rate... from everything I heard, it's a great shaft and can be had for $20 on RockBottomGolf.com...  they also have the blue version which is the high launch version for the same price...

At that price, I think it would be worth checking out.

    • I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..
    • Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.
    • I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
