Long days and pleasant nights.
This may be a little weird, but I’m posting my swing to see how you folks would describe my transition for shaft fitting purposes. I have recently come to worry that my driver shaft may be too weak for me.
Video:
Driver: swing speed is around 112. Shaft is HZRDUS Yellow in 6.0 flex, club is Ping G400 at 9* and 44”. I think I have a pretty smooth tempo and transition, but let me know what you think. I like the trajectory with this setup but definitely feel like swinging easy ~80% results in significantly lower spin than my preferred higher effort, given the same face contact. I suppose swinging easier is a solution but wonder how much is being left on the table. I also think my dispersion is worse than than it should be.
3W (well, 16* wood that I play as a 3W): swing speed was recently measured at 108 with this club. Shaft is HZRDUS Smoke Black 70g at 42.5” and tipped 1” in 6.0 flex. I like both trajectory and spin with this setup but dispersion is a bit loose. I am planning to tip trim another 1/2” and see what happens. I REALLY prefer the feel of Smoke Black over Yellow.
After typing this out, it seems like tip trimming the Yellow driver shaft is an obvious step to take. My “3W” is tipped like a 5W and performs better than my un-tipped driver shaft. Buying a Smoke Black shaft for driver is also an option, but what flex? I have never hit a HZRDUS 6.5 flex and am nervous about buying something that is too stiff. Based on my speed and transition, am I making an obvious mistake by not hitting 6.5 or X flex? Hitting one on a simulator is an option but I am curious if anyone has been in this situation and how it worked out. Any other feedback is welcome.
