Driver shaft
Hi,
I was just wondering if you folks had a recommendation for a good place in Ottawa to get a swing analysis done to see what shaft I need for my driver? I bought a SMT Spectrum and the shaft that came with it, a Regular flex Royal precision Saber graphite, is just not cutting it ...(The last time my swing speed was measured it was 133 mph :blush ).

I know that at ProGolf they have a True Temper Analysis setup so that you can test different shafts. Also, if you decide to get the club reshafted at ProGolf, the analysis is free.

You sure that was your swingspeed and not your ball speed? If your swingspeed really is 133mph then you should check out the 'Long Drive' thread in one of the other forums!

Because of me wanting to spend the least amount of $, I've pretty much decided on the Grafalloy Blue or ProLaunch 75 in X flex. Any objections?

Both of these shafts are available at GolfWorks on Industrial Ave, and the staff there are very knowledgeable about them. I had a swing analysis done be Wayne at GolfWorks and he was quite good.[COLOR=green][B]Golf is a game invented by the same people who think music comes out of bagpipes.[/B][/COLOR]

I am also interested in fitting a shaft to my specs. How do they test you for the right shaft if they don’t have different type of shafts mounted on a driver head you desire?
I am looking for a Deep Bore 455 but I am not sure what face angle (degree) I should get. After that, I have to find a shaft for my specs.
Any info would help.

Ideally, the clubmaker you go to has a bunch of shafts in the same model head, with accurately measured loft, that you can try out.
Assuming that is the case the differences due to changing heads are pretty easy to account for.
When I had my vector launch monitor session we determined that my current driver head / shaft combo was just a little too stiff for optimum launch. I've since switched shafts and will see what it's like soon.

However, if you know the bore depth of the Callaway/TM heads and the distance of the bottom of the bore to the ground your clubmaker should be able to estimate the effect.
Assuming no tip trim, if the bottom of the shaft and where the shaft exits the hosel are at the same distance relative to the ground for two heads, the shaft should have the same effective stiffness.
As I recall the more important of the two is bottom of the shaft but I could be wrong.
