Default Re: Need shaft/loft advice for driver...launch monitor stats included

Alot of people around the 150-160 mph ball speeds have the same problem as the OP, I know that I do. Getting the right conditions for launching without alot of spin.

For me 10.5 was too much launch, 9.5 was too low with too much spin.

The answer is the right shaft, there are alot out there that are very high launching and very low spinning. Something the the OZIK X-CON Altus in stiff or strong flex would lower your spin by several hundred RPM while increasing your launch by about 1.5-2*.

I think during testing my swings were 95-100. I've tried swinging faster since then so hopefully I'm playing at ~100 mph swing speed average. (My drives usually carry like 220-230 if I had to guess.)

I found my stats 2 yrs ago from when I got my now decapitated driver (KZG Gemini 12 deg).

n= 8 swings

Club speed 98.6
Ball speed 142.5
Vertical 14.2
Total spin 2,645
Downrange 225

I swing harder now and am getting to the point where I'm more accurate swinging harder. I was actually getting to the point where I felt that the regular flex shaft was not "satisfying". I guess I will try out different shafts.

Is the loft of the driver chosen such that you arrive at optimal launch and spin rates or was that chosen for me because I had a <100 mph swing?
