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.

Is this a new problem with that driver .......were you hitting it acceptably before or is it new driver with high ball flight? If the former it might be you

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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
