Hello all,

This might end up a bit long-winded, but here goes.

I demoed some drivers today and was able to get some parameters for my swing (didn't and won't have time for a good, solid proper fitting for a couple of months.)

I was wondering if anyone might be able to recommend shafts based on them. I mostly hit the R1 with a 55 gram Aldila RIP Phenom Shaft. Stiff. 9.5 loft Of all the clubs, it was the one I hit best, but since done on launch monitor, wasn't really able to see flight.

My ball speed hovered around 145 mph, swing speed 95.

My spin rate with that club on a down the middle drive was anywhere between 2700 and 3700. Average carry 245-250 with a rollout to around 260-270. Launch angle was 15 degree or a tick under every time.

So, my question would be, are those specs adequate with that shaft? Or do I need something a little different? Also, if it's a good reading, does anyone know of any similar non-stock shafts I might could replace it with?

Thanks in advance.

Not trying to be an jerk, but you better have that launch monitor checked......Ball speed of 145 with swing speed of 95 is a smash factor of 1.53. In other words, impossible. Also, a swing speed of 95 produces a carry of about 210, not 245-250. I think the monitor may be "juiced".

The spin rate looks too high, but until you have accurate launch monitor numbers, any shaft recommendations at this time would be pointless.

    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
