Hi Guys,

I currently don't have a driver and I've been waiting for the sumo 5900. I previously had the regular sumo with the VS proto. I liked the shaft but the head would put too much spin on the ball and was costing me distance so I sold it over the Winter season here. Anyway this driver comes with a few shaft options.
Stock Diamana Yellow Board= I don't care for stock shafts
VS Proto= leaning toward this one
Proforce V2

My handicap is 5, driver swing speed 98-104, Tempo= smooth.

thanks guys

If you're looking for a good shaft, take a look at the ACCRA series. These shafts have low torque, good weight balance and create minimal spin.

Depending on where you purchase the club, you might be able to have this shaft installed for an additional $100 or more. Sold seperately, you won't pay less than $200.

The shafts that I mentioned are a free upgrade from NIKE. So these are the choices I'm going to work with. I'm sure the accra is a great shaft but 400 is the max I'm putting in to my driver. So between the above mentioned shafts does anyone know which would spin less ?

Theres no for sure on which shaft will spin less. I hit a Taylormade Superquad with both the Proto and the V2, and the Proto spun a little less for me. However, I haven't heard a single bad thing about either shaft, so you cant go wrong with either.

I guess that means you did a pretty awesome job with selection then doesn't it!?

I demoed the 5900 in the NV, stock, V2, and Proto. For me the Proto spun the least. (Nike had a launch monitor there) I was suprised because I loved the V2 shaft in my old Cobra 400.

With a 8.5 face and x-stiff Proto, my ball speed averaged 166mph with a standard deviation of about 3. I'd say my swing speed is about 113 (they didn't measure it but I have a radar at home)

This is how I'd rate them for the 5900:

1 Proto
2 NV
3 V2
4 Stock (just don't do it!)

I bought the 5900 in 8.5 in XStiff... I'll let you know more when it gets here.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.

      Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.
