Have you been through a fitting?

Yes I have. With my swing speed at 109, the club fitter suggested an x-stiff rather than my current stiff shaft...

Also, with my ball flight being very high off the tee he also said to look for a shaft with a high kick point... Thanks

The Aldila NV Green shaft is awesome. It has Low ball flight like you said. The only down side is that it's kind of pricey. Good Luck Christmas Present?

Did the fitter not make any suggestions?

The reason I'm asking these questions, is if you went through a fitter, you woudn't have to post questions here, the suggestions/recommendations would have been made at the time of fitting. OR is it that you are trying to get a 2nd opinion?

Ya, he gave me suggestions, but the suggestions were for Callaway drivers that come with the stock shafts. If I dont go with a new driver, and keep my current one, I have a variety to choose form, not just Callaway stocks...

One thing that I have always found helpful was to visit shaft manufacturer's web sites and look up the shaft specs. Usually you can google the company and find it in short order.

One important thing to look at as well, generally, the heavier the graphite shaft, the stiffer it is. Look into shaft weight as well.

Example, the Aldila NV series mentioned in a earlier post is available in 55, 65, 75, and 85 gram versions I believe.

Some specific suggestions:
  • Graffaloy Pro Launch Red
  • Fujikura speeder series
  • Fujikura Tour Platform 26.3 or 27.3
  • Aldila VS Proto

This is not a complete solution, but hopefully it can get you started.

I second that suggestion of reading the manufacturer's specs though I have never had the need to use an XS shaft I cannot offer any recommendations. The ones mentioned above is a good start.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
