I have been hitting the Taylor Made R9 460 with the Aldila NV 65S since the beginning of the year and my issue is I hit the ball REALLY high and get almost no roll at all. My reason for complaining was it was the first time I played with this driver in strong winds and the ball was just getting pushed everywhere. I went on the monitor yesterday and here was what I found with my current driver. My normal swing path favors a mild draw.
Swing Speed: 105-113 mph
Backspin range: 3,000-3950 RPM
Clubface at impact: 11 degrees open
From what I had read, the backspin should be in the 2,000-2,500 rpm range.
I suspect that the R9 460 head is what is causing the problem more than the shaft. I used this shaft in my old Callaway 454 and I had much more rollout on typical drives.
The guy suggested that I try the Callaway FT Tour in a 9 degree as that would bring the launch and backspin down as the CG is higher in it. He also said that Voodoo that is stock is stiffer than the NV and has a higher kickpoint.
His other comment really confused me: I should either go with a X flex and a higher loft or a S flex and a lower loft. Not sure which way to go...
Any other suggestions and does this sound logical?
