Lighter shaft in a heavy head?
Hi folks,
I have a TM Tour Burner 9.5" (07, non-TP) driver with Pershing 65g R shaft in it. It's a nice stick, very reliable, pretty long on solid hits. The only trouble is that it feels quite a bit heavier than my old Nike Sumo (the original one) with V2 shaft. So, after some digging, I've found that the burner is a D5 swing weight, while the sumo was D3.5. So, that explains the difference in the feel.
The question is, can the burner be made to feel lighter by changing the shaft and what adverse side-effects will that produce? What shaft would you recommend, given that I'd like to raise the ball flight a little? Would the new shaft need to be stiffer than normal, given that the head is heavier?
Or is it a waste of time and money, and I should just go buy a lighter driver?
Cheers.
