Just snag a callaway adapter and make Miguel come down about $25 bucks and you are golden.

Recommend me a shaft. I hit a bunch of drivers at Capitol City end of last summer. I wanted a new one as I swing an old as shite R5. But everything I hit was shite compared to my R5.

I don't remember exact measurements, but I do remember my launch angle was good to low and my spin was crazy high.

I carried a few good ones 275 and got <10-15 yds of run out because of the spin.

I want to say I was around 9-12 and over 5000 rpm maybe 100-110mph don't remember much. Tend do attack down, drag the face and draw the ball


He tried to get me in last years Big Bertha, but I hate how dead the Callaways feel.

R5 were some great clubs but I would recommend trying some of todays low spin drivers. If you were looking to something that might sorta look like the R5, I would suggest the bridgestone J15 430 driver.

I first select a driver head then fit that head with the correct shaft

Try an Ahina. It has really brought my spin down and I was in a premium shaft before the switch.

been a while, let me think

[quote]Swing speed- 100
Ball speed - not sure
Path -?
Load-?
Transition-?
Angle of attack -?
Current spin - want to say 3000 (does that sound right)
Current launch - don't remember
Current miss?-left [/quote

If your SS is 100, 250 is pretty good distance

3000 spin is pretty good

I would think the goal would be to get between 2500-2700 rpm.

It's very hard for me to pull it from the bag knowing I can carry it 275
