Hi all!

I am wanting to reshaft my 2009 Cleveland Launcher.  It currently has the stiff yellow Fit On Fujikura shaft.  For me this shaft has too active of a tip and it's hard for me consistently square up the face at impact.  I hit the ball pretty high with so I can stand to lose to height on it.  Any and all recommendations are welcome!

Driver:     Cleveland Launcher DST 9.0 Degree, UST Proforce V2 67 X-Stiff
Wood:     Cleveland Launcher (2009) 15 Degrees, Stock shaft Stiff
Hybrid:    Adams Idea A2 20 Degree, stock shaft stiff
Irons:       Cleveland CG Red , 3-PW, DSG300 Stiff
Wedges:  Titleist Vokey SM4 54 and 60 degrees
Putter:     Odyssey White Hot Tour #5 34.5 inches
Balls:      Titleist Pro V1X, Srixon Z-Star XV

Mitsubishi rayon Diamana D+. It's not cheap but it is a very high quality shaft with a stiff tip section, I believe Tiger plays it (so it must be good lol)

Looked in 2009/2010 catalogs, and there's at least four varieties of Fuji Fit-On shafts, both in general components catalogs and in OEM club brochures. Both Callaway and Cleveland used FFOs as stock shafts on certain woods.

What are the specs on your yellow Fit On? Weight, kickpoint, flex?

You would probably do best to get on a launch monitor and get fitted. Use current shaft as baseline, then look for better performance data.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Specs for fit on gold.  60 grams, low-mid kickpoint, stiff flex, 3.5 torque, active tip.  I was having similar issues a while back with my driver and I put on a UST proforce V2 X-stiff, 67 grams, 2.8 torque and it has helped a lot.  Lowered my ball flight and has tightened up my dispersion.

I looked on the UST.Mamiya website for V2 details. Instructions show tip trim for Driver, 3W, 5W and 7W. So, your driver shaft could be used in your 3W. (Some shafts are designed specifically for drivers)

Only consideration: do you want to softstep it for a slight edge on launch off the fairway?

I have ProLaunch Reds in my driver, 3-wood, and hybrids. I know the hybrids use a separate shaft from the driver/woods, but the driver and 3-wood are probably the same. I do like it though, as it's a lower launch/spin shaft than most of the stock shafts out there.

Agreed.. I have them on my 3 & 5 wood and love them. I have replaced every club in my bag this year except for those......

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
