Since FGI shutdown, I haven't found a place to post much. I'm hoping this community an help me out here.
I recently went to get fit for a new driver. I hadn’t touched a club since September. But, once I warmed up my contact was very solid.
Here is my current setup:
Cobra F6
Pro launch Red Stiff
Launch: 11.5-12*
SS: 103(low 99; high 105, usually climb nearer 108 by midsummer)
Spin: 2700
Carry: 238
I tried the Rogue, Epic, M3, M4, G400 and F8. I had the best balance of control and distance with the Rogue and Even Flow Blue in stiff. My numbers with this setup increased my carry to 245. Then, they put in a Tour AD IZ and my carry shot up as high as 259. I felt like I could step into that shaft more without losing control. My worst swing was 15 yards left, a pull that baby cut back.
Problem is they want $659 for that setup plus tax. I’m a weekend warrior. I’m not spending $700 for one club.
I went to the range yesterday and my eyes are telling me that I'm hitting the ball plenty high....am I confusing launch angle with apex height? My range has very mature ponderosa pines at the end of the hitting area. I'm hitting the ball WELL above them, like say 20 yards above them...
The main difference is I was launching it higher and not increasing my spin numbers. So can anyone recommend a shaft that will play similar to the Tour AD IZ?
