I am looking purchasing a new driver. Here are the numbers of the 2 drivers I have:
Callaway FT-5
9.5* Diamana Blue x-Stiff 73g
(ball speed) 152mph
(launch angle) 12.1*
(spin)2850rpm
(carry distance) 248-251yrds
(total distance) 267-273yards
Titleist 909 D2
9.5* Diamana blue by titleist x-stiff 65g
(ball speed) 161mph
(launch angle) 11.6*
(spin)2970rpm
(carry distance) 258-264yrds
(total distance) 276-282yards
My swing speed has dropped to about 107mph, so I am think I need to drop to a stiff! I just feel I almost have to over swing with these shafts! right now my accuracy is suffering off the tee, possibly cause of the shaft stiffness! (maybe???)
My swing is pretty consistent, looking for maybe to get some added yards as well as accuracy! Looking for some ideas to lower my spin rate, or whatever would help improve my game off the Tee. I really like the feel of a heavier shaft (I would still use a steel shaft if I didn't lose the distance).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
Jake
