Your spin is too high .. Look for a low spin shaft

Are you young with a healthy back?? If so go with x flex..115 mph is legit firepower

But I think I'd like a little more control with the X


Have you hit a x-stiff before? It doesn't always mean you'll have more control.

Also, those simulators are garbage(better than nothing though). Go get fitted or go to a Ping demo day..

Going with the Ping G30 SF Tec 10* (lowest loft available) and can't decide between the Stiff or X-Stiff TFC 419D.



Throw that driver in the garbage and start over. Then once you get good driver, put an oban shaft in it(hopefully money isn't an issue). Find the one that fits your swing speed and you'll be happy.

I wasn't hitting the best balls out there. Just some randoms Edwin Watts had already there.

I've seen the following advice from professional fitters....

"pick the stiffest shaft you can load"

at 115mph clubhead speed you can easily load an x-stiff shaft. Like threeputt said find something that will bring your spin number down and that roll out distance (and overall) should increase

You can google shaft charts and find several suggestions for low spin shafts. Hopefully (though probably not) Edwin Watts will have some to demo

If you choose to lower your spin, try the G30 LSTec


That's the one I have on order

You don't have to use your penis every chance you get to prove you have one...

Than Edwin Watts? Probably

If you really want to get fit and have some cash to burn check out Club Champion. There is one in Dallas and Houston. They literally have thousands of club/shaft combo's to demo in house

Is nobody going to point out that the distance measurements for carry and roll don't add up to the total distance? I'm sure that simulator is 100% accurate

It's the best I got...

Any place better closer to BR than Houston?

Trackman or flight scope.


Those in store simulators are spotty at best. I hit a ball 487 yards on one one time


I know Rob Noel has trackman, not sure who else but there has to be others. Hit up a ping demo day
