Does it make sense to put the same shaft (different weights) in all of your woods and hybrids? I'm going to be buying a new driver, a new hybrid, and perhaps reshafting 3 & 5 woods. I was curious what some of the clubfitters in the forum thought about keeping everything the same.

Also, has anyone done a direct comparison between the Proforce V2 and the Aldila VS Proto? My local pro has suggested that either shaft might work out to be a good fit for me (Driver swing speed averages around 110, with a fairly quick tempo).

I don't believe in keeping things the same. If you want to use the same shaft manufacturer, that's OK. But you're better off using a different "series" within their overall product line that's better suited for hybrids and fairway woods as opposed to the driver. That having been said, I don't know that ANY manufacturer has a lock for "the best" in all categories. I find different manufacturers better at some product lines than others and am more apt to mix them up.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
