Hi guys

ive currently got a titleist 910d2 driver with project X shaft (stiff) in it. I'm getting a very high ball flight using it and wondered if changing shaft would help lower the ball flight and have more penetrating flight!? Would I need lighter or heavier shaft etc or mid tip etc? 

Can anyone help please? 

For the record I play off 12 and drive about 260 yards with swing speed around 100mph. 

 

Thanks

Is it the 5.5 or 6.0? Project X is generally a mid to low launch shaft. A heavier shaft generally has lower launching conditions.

Hi. It's the 7cx one and 6.0. Think it's 73g shaft so that's a pretty heavy shaft already ain't it?

Not sure which Project X it is, but below is some info.

Per the Maltby shaft rating, 7.0 is a low launch shaft.

I think this is a great suggestion. Check setup and mechanics first before you start swapping shafts. If it does turn out to be the shaft, I hope there is a gifted club fitter in your area. Comparing shaft flexes across manufacturers is the "dreamland" of the golf business.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
