    Question on Shafts

    What would be the best shaft for a lower trajectorie ball flight?
    i have a swing speed over 110 and i hit the ball fairly high with too much spin!

    So i'm looking at something to lower the ball and take the spin off!

    Aldila ProtoPype. One of the lowest launching and lowest spinning shafts out there. And it just so happens I have one.

    But other than that, you'd want to look for a shaft that is very tip stiff. Those types of shaft tend to bring the ballflight down.

    Check the specs on the driver head you are using. You can reduce the spin a whole lot more with the proper head design for your swing than you can with a shaft change.

    Less loft and/or more weight forward heads will rectify the problem.

    Rombax / whiteboard / project x all low launch / low spin.

    I am a lower launcher but higher swing speed 118. Current play proforce v2 67g xflex in a Supertri. Gives me mid-launch conditions that I like. Tried the whiteboard 83g, could barely clear a tee block. That shaft launches looooooooow.
