I recently tested the R11s and the RBZ drivers with a number of shafts.  I am looking for a shaft that is low launching with low spin for one of these.  I currently am swinging a 905r 9.5 with a v2 86x.  I like my current driver but the carry distance on the launch monitor is around 280 with 3700rpms of backspin and launch angle between 11 and 14 with a ball speed of 165-170.  I hit the RBZ with the stock x ok but the launch was around 18 and backspin around 3500rpm with a ballspeed of 160. I dont get it, I have a steep swing plan because of height.  I was thinking about the ahina 70x.  Any suggestions?  Does Taylormade make a low launching low spin shaft?  Thanks for your help!

I believe the shaft you are looking for - if you're looking for a shaft that TaylorMade supports is the new XCON 7.

The Xcon 7 is a heavier high launch low spin shaft. He says he wants low launch low spin I think. The heavier weight helps to maintain stability more so the the 5 & 6 versions.

Matrix x-cons aren't recommended for players that already have a high trajectory.  The Xcon-5, 6 and 7 are all higher launch shafts.  Xcon-6 has also been my favorite shaft so far.
