Hey everyone. I am looking for some opinions on 3 wood shafts. I am about to purchase a 13.5 909F2 wood. I can't beat the deal (half the price of the 910) I am getting on it, especially being a brand new club. I currently hit a 15.5 906F4 with an Aldila VS Proto 80-S. I am going to a 13.5 degree wood simply for tee shots on shorter holes and narrow holes. I rarely ever hit my 3 wood in to a par 5 (if I am that far out, I typically lay up to a good wedge yardage). I prefer a lower trajectory ball flight, so that is where I need some opinions. When I catch my 906F4 in the screws I hit it a good bit higher than I like, and I think the shaft has a lot to do with it. I am thinking something either heavier in a stiff flex (like a 90ish gram stiff) or the same weight in an X-stiff. Quality opinions are very much appreciated!

If it helps any, I have a 70-X in my driver.

Decided to go with an Oban Devotion 7. It should be in at the end of the week, so I should have some good play time and practice with the club by the middle or end of next week. I will report back!

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
