I'm currently gaming a Ping G 10.5* with Alta 55g Stiff Flex shaft, and I'm looking for options.  I've noticed this year that my yardage (avg. 245-255) is mostly carry, with very little roll.  Last week, I hit it on the range while being "tracked" by the Taylormade version of a Trackman.  Based on the numbers, I've got WAY too much spin, and it's killing my roll.  Here are quick numbers- Launch angle: 13.7*;  Swing Speed- 95mpg avg; Carry- 225; roll- 15 yards; total distance- 250 avg; SPIN- 3800-3900.  

Based on this, I'm thinking about swapping shafts to something with a low/mid launch angle and lower tq number.  The Tour 65 looks interesting, and maybe I could find one used to swap in.  If I went with an aftermarket shaft, what would you guys suggest?  I've been told to check out the Diamana 62 x5ct and RIP Alpha.  I don't know anything about either of these.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Looks as if you need a bit more more launch along with less spin.

Not a big fan of the Ping stock shafts, but you'd best get fit. It's tough to say anything except get fit.

That's a lot of spin and may not be all shaft. I'd look at your setup first to check your Angle of Attack and make sure you are setup for less spin and more launch before looking for shafts. A positive angle of attack at address usually means ball position is off your front big toe with your spine angle slightly back.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
