wrong shaft ??

[mr.mover]

Good afternoon
went to nevada bobs the other day to try out some different drivers.
apparently i hit them roughly the same distance, as the taylor made i own.
I hit my driver from 129 mph to 146 mph.the shaft is a stock fujikura hyperlite xl flex R.

I find i allways start my drive straight but it soon starts heading right .
if i slow down my drive i hit it straight. not as long, and no im not tring to kill the poor ball. just wondering if there is to much flex in my shaft.
im R H
i would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

your SS is 129?
try an X or the fuji 350 S shaft

I think those are ball speeds.

As to whether or not the shaft is too flexible that may or may not be the cause of the slice.

i was going to say
it should be a no brainer that a reg would be to weak

i slice low bend shafts and block mid bends and draw high bends
maybe just try different kickpoints in both R and S and see what works for you

i believe your right jvincent my 6 iron gets 129 my driver 146. how do i find my club head speed, and is there a chart for flex vs. club head speed.
Thanks again guys

You can get your clubhead speed measured by radar or a launch monitor.

Clubhead speed isn't the only way to determine flex. There are quite a few very strong players that play very soft shafts. For me, feel is the most important factor.

Also, the way you swing, i.e. smooth with constant acceleration or quick with a hard transition, can be more important in choosing the right shaft.

thanks gentlemen
I think ill go see Murray at nevada bob's and see if they can help.
cheers.

why don't you see someone who can costum fit you for a shaft for you driver? That is probably tyhe best way to go about doing this...

[davo987]

i know that those speeds are ballspeed, and that your swingspeed is approximately 75% of that number. nevada bob's does have trained fitters, and a Nike driver fitting system that has many different shaft options with different flexes and kick points to experiment with

Thanks davo i went to see them yesterday. I bought my callaway irons there and went in for a fitting. turns out i'm one of the lucky of the rack kinda guy.
5 foot 7 inches 33.5 wtf. so im good to go. im having a stiff shaft installed, and my sc shortened. wich i also bought there. they told me i had a year after purchase, to be fitted. All & All good experiance with those gentelmen. I will continue to use their friendly services.
