    Shaft / Launch Angle Help

    Hi everyone,

    I recently bought a Adams Fast 10 Driver, 10.5*, Stiff Wasabi shaft.
    I absolutely love the club face and feel, but instead of my usual line drive type trajectory, I am hitting very high drives.
    The ball takes off fairly high and balloons before dropping to the ground.
    I have a very smooth swing, around 95-100 mph, but I am clearly losing distance.

    I am guessing the flex point of this shaft is wrong for me. The harder I swing at it, the more the "balloon" effect. The ball still stays straight, just a loss of distance.

    Where can I find out the flex point?
    Anybody have shaft suggestions for a better shaft?
    The ball I use has always worked well with my swing and old driver (Exotics with green NV stiff shaft)

    Anybody know where I can get a good price on a shaft upgrade?

    Thanks for all advice.

    You have a "made for Adams '' Wassabi shaft that has the letter ""S"" on it. The whole club is designed for that type of trajectory. You will get 45 different opinions on what shaft to use because it works well for the person who is chimming in. The only way to do this properly is to get yourself on a launch monitor.
