Theres sooooo many thing we'd need to know before offering any advice...whats your swing speed? Your tempo? swing plane?what's your current ball flight? What are you looking for in flight pattern? You a hitter or a swinger? handicap? looking to work the club a bit or looking for forgiveness?

Indacup, I agree with requiring more info. My question is what effect would swing plane have on a shaft decision?

Swing = Stacked and On Plane when possible.

Swing speed (driver) would be around 110, pretty fast swing i guess, ball flight very very high and fairly straight but if i miss its to the right, i am able to work the ball

I'm looking for a much lower flight, workability is an issue although i'm not sure how much forgivness shafts offer my handicap is 9, although i am an excellent striker and my deficiences lie in other areas hitter or swinger? anything else?

He didn't answer the swing plane question. I'm guessing if your misses are to the right and you hit a really high ball that your have an upright 2 plane style swing. Is that the case? Indacup wanted to know that as well.

In general the Green Aldila NV is a very low launching shaft which is great!

Indacup, I agree with requiring more info. My question is what effect would swing plane have on a shaft decision?

If he has a flat swing plane and an aggressive wrist action, a softer flex/higher torque shaft would promote duckhooks

Sounds like an over all nice swing!

As someone mentioned, the Aldila NV would be a good option...I'd go with the heavier 75 in a S-flex, but tipped! You could go to an X flex...but the tip would be a little too much since you're already pushing a bit to the right. Other good options under $100 would be the UST V.2, the Vengeance PLatinum nano shaft....the Graman UL 540 or even the UL 680. Wanna go a bit higher in prices? The VS Proto and Matrix Ozik code 7

Not too bothered on price if somethings going to help me out

My plane gets a bit too steep sometime, yeh for sure, im working to flatten it out a bit just now

Green Aldila was what I was looking at, I like the V2 but its high launch, hows the proto launch?

There's a couple different V2 options...and one is SPECIFICALLY a high launch...the other is a medium...but with your swing, you'd go to an X flex and it would definitely bring it down.

The VS Proto is a stout fellow...and is low trajectory producer...

That makes sense. Thanks for the answer.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
