Driver Died- 5.8 HC with Adams 9064LS and Looking for Suggestions

[Smathieu]

I've been using the same driver since first picking up golf 4yrs ago. Not that i haven't tired to trade it in for a newer more adjustable driver, but every time i've contemplated a new driver, i take my current driver into the booth and consistently carry and drive it further than any other driver on the market.

This afternoon after a weekend golf event, i noticed my driver having a distinct different sound and feel. Upon inspection, i found a crack in the face and i felt as though i just witnessed my dog getting ran over by a car. It literally put me in a horrible and depressed mood for the rest of the weekend.

Today i got home and removed the head from my shaft and found that my shaft, too has failed. The fibers are all frayed and extends into the core of the shaft.

Nonetheless, my bread and butter of a driver is now gone. For the past two weeks i have been fighting a fade when i normally draw the ball. So the shaft tip being frayed as badly as it is makes me feel a lot better about my swing and knowing it was now probably the shaft. However i am left questioning myself, where do i go from here?

My current set up is the following:

Head: 9064LS

Shaft: UST Proforce V2 Flex- Stiff/ Wt- 65g/ Torque- 3.7/ Butt Stiffness-270/ Mid-7.1/ Tip stiffness-26/Tip Parallel- 4.0" and Tip OD-.335"

My moto is, don't fix it if it isn't broken, however now that i am forced to either replace or rebuild, i wanted to see what some of you have to offer as suggestions.

My swing dynamics are as follows:

Speed- 105-110

Tempo- Medium-to-Fast

Transition- Medium

Release- Medium-to-Late

I appreciate any suggestions and welcome any feedback!

Thank you.

The only advice I can give is eBay can be your friend if you do a little checking.  Something might pop up and you will have a reincarnation that you already what it is capable of.

ebay - 9064LS

Ping G30 Series G30 or Low Spin

TM R15 or Aeroburner

Callaway Big Bertha 815, and 815 DBD (low spin)

Others....

The ProForce V2 is a good shaft that is fairly dated. If you go to a new head, go to a new shaft that matches up better to the new heads.

+1 on the R15. I'm fairly close with your swing speed so I switched out the shaft w a S Matrix 67 gram shaft w mid torque. Def worth a demo! Good Luck!

With the

Speed- 105-110

Tempo- Medium-to-Fast

Transition- Medium

Release- Medium-to-Late

I would look at

Ping G30 LS Tec

Titleist 915 D3 or D2

Cobra Fly-Z+

Cleveland Big Bertha Alpha 815

I am not a fan of the aggressive forward CG locations. I find them too much to handle sometimes. I think you can get enough off the spin to optimize and still keep them workable and more forgiving.

I think any shaft with a medium-high to high kick point, 60's or 70's gram shafts, with stiff or x-stiff flex depending on how the fitting goes.
