Sometimes a shaft change is the answer you've been looking for.
An incorrect shaft in your driver can lead to worse misses, unnecessary spin, and shorter overall distance.
This golfer came to us wanting to make a change in his driver shaft. He was spinning the ball too much and also had a bad miss where he hooked the ball. On paper, he was thinking of doing a super low-spinning, low-launching shaft like the Fujikura Ventus TR Black 6X. While this did lower the spin, his strike consistency dropped, leading to less distance, and he still had that bad miss.
This guy swung hard, like 120mph clubhead speed hard, BUT it was a smooth swing, meaning he didn't put as much torque on the shaft vs. someone with an abrupt tempo. We put on the Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6X and BOOM. His spin dropped even lower, and his consistency skyrocketed. He was hitting it further and straighter while also negating that left miss.
Always make sure to try EVERYTHING! If you're unsure of what to get, get a fitting at your local golf shop to see the data, as the "on paper" fit isn't always the right one!
