Titleist 906F2

[ram22592]

Hey guys, I've looked at the statistics, listened to the experts, and now I want to here what you guys think.

I currently have the Titleist 904F 15 degree 3-wood with the Graphite Design YS-6 FW+ R flex (68 grams) shaft and am looking to replace it with the newer hotter face of the Titleist 906F2, as well as a stiffer shaft. Keep in mind that I am 15 and growing; muscle and height. 5'7" 120 lbs, currently.

I have just returned from hitting the Titleist 906F2 in 15 degrees with the UST Proforce V2 85-S (90 grams) shaft, as well as with the Aldila VS Proto 'By You' 85-S (87 grams) shaft. I hit on an indoor launch monitor at a Golf Headquarters, and brought my current 3-wood in for the comparison.

My average swing speed for all three was 85 MPH, my average carry for each was different, ranging between 180 and 190+ yds. 130 MPH ball speed, and about 25 yards of roll. The 906F2 had a consistently longer carry than the 904F, which, I think, can be attributed to the hotter face and technology of the F2.

The V2 shaft was what I went into the store hoping to hit the best, and after leaving I can honestly say that the results showed in favor of my expectations. I know that the V2 shaft is considered to be one of the stiffest shafts available, and that my swing speed is too slow for a shaft of its stiffness, but the results show that I hit it the best, even better than my current 3-wood.

What do you guys think? Should I wait until I am swinging faster, or go ahead and move in on this one? Would this really "hurt" me to swing with a club too stiff, or too heavy for me? Should I go for a slightly lighter model of the V2 (75-S, which is 81 grams)?

I hope y'all can help. Thanks!

shouldnt the guy that was watching you on the moniters tell what he thinks you should use? but i think you should wait till you have another growth spert around this summer and you will be ready for new sticks. also your hitting a 85 gram shaft in your 3 wood thats alot i have a 75 gram x stiff with a 115 mph swing speed so go with the proforce 65 gram i think it is worth a try.
