I have a prolaunch red paired with an Adams head I cannot hit, buts it is very low spin when I hit it well. I can't decide if I should buy a forgiving head like an r11s or 910d3 and use the shaft I have, or if I should buy a stock low spin driver such as the Anser. Problem is I can't try the two earlier mentioned with my shaft. If I hit a stock one with 3500rpm spin numbers, what could I expect the prolaunch shaft to knock off of that spin number? I'm sure it's a guess but maybe it could help me make a better decision.

Which Adams head? I just put a red in my Fast 12LS about a month ago.

I think you might be mistaken about what is and isn't a forgiving head.

Alsom the shaft itself does not reduce spin.There are a number of contributing, all relating to yoir swing as well as the equipment factors.

A "low spin driver" doesn't mean that it will be low spin for you.

You need to be professionally fitted.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Yep, same one.  Mine has been inconsistent...it is not very forgiving on mishits I've found.

I love mine although putting the red in it, from an Axis blue, dramatically changed my ball flight and forced me to hit it better in general. Those reds are unforgiving.
