I've been fit numerous times for my driver and irons in the past. This isn't about getting a fitting. I was fit for my present TS driver, my 917, my 915, my 913 and my 910. No, this is about messing around with some other shafts that I have never tried to see if I like any of them better. I'm a tinkerer.
I presently play three different shafts in my TS driver, depending on the temperature, how I'm swinging and the course I'm playing. However, all of them are somewhat similar in bend characteristics. (Mid launch/Mid spin for the most part.) For the heck of it, I want to try something completely different just to see if I might benefit from a lower launching, lower spinning shaft, or maybe a mid-launch, lower spinning shaft. I am actually looking for something that won't drop out of the sky, giving me more roll in firm conditions. So, a shallower descent angle.
My driver swing speed is usually in the 94-97 mph range, though I have made some changes which seems to have increased it a bit more. I'm a senior golfer, but play a Tensei Blue 55 STIFF shaft (which I was fit for) in my driver, 3W and hybrid. However, my Evenflow Blue is a 5.5 stiffness and in my Aldila Rogue Black, an R flex, though it's firmer than most other Rs IMO. (I play the Rogue more in winter temps.) My average in-season distance off the tee is usually between 230 and 250 yards including roll. A great drive might roll out to 260-270 on firm conditions. I feel with less spin, and a better descent angle, on firm conditions, I can do better.
When I get fit for my new TSi in the coming months, I would like to try the Titleist stock, no-upcharge options against this yet-to-be-determined shaft I am searching for. Any suggestions for shafts to consider that might give me lower spin or a better descent angle?
I generally hit it fairly straight, though some days it draws all day. When I over swing, I get a little cut, but I rarely lose balls right, ever. Left is my typical miss. I also generally hit up on the ball with driver. My TS2 is 10.0, set on 10.75. Since I hit the ball high enough already, I'm thinking I may dial it back to 10 with my Tensei, but with a lower spinning shaft, 10.75 may be good. I'll tinker.
I'm curious about the PX HZRDUS Black stock shaft, but also many others as well, not in the Titleist no-upcharge list. Keep in mind my age and swingspeed. Thoughts/considerations? Not looking for exotics., nor willing to pay for them.
