Thanks Tool.. Will check my swing again, if i can get my video to work..I know my error is mostly OTT and cut and duck hook if I flipped my wrist.


Thanks Steph, I will try lower torque.. I did not have any problem with lower torque 75S v2 905R, however, that trajectory is not forgiving for me, much too low . I read that you got a 7 * or so on a 55 V2 S.... and Lorena ocha uses a 7.5 G5 with her diamana 55 S. thats why I was so keen to try out the 55 gram ... Its easy to have long carry, but easy to overaccerate or go out of plane as well.

It is an 8* SMT Spectrum. Remember though that I don't generate the kind of swing speed you do. I only crank up to ~95 (on a good day) or so. I get away with the 8* because I naturally launch high (maybe some kind of compensation in my stroke, but don't know for sure). I do know for sure that I have a tendency to hang back on my right side just a touch which would help explain the higher launch. Have fun with the fitting and LM session. They are always interesting affairs.

The diamana 55 is in a class by itself. One of the few/only shafts that can handle a high swing speed at that weight. They are way too expensive IMO.

So far Steph... all the 55 V2 shaft I play have higher launch than usual. I have similar experience in a R5 55v2 as well. How I wish Jeff Hull is here to fit me .

well , trying 65 grams Graman 540UL on `10.5 driver atm... hope it works.

I just stuck a Graman 540 "Limey" on a 10.5 Bridgestone J33R head. I've heard nothing but good things about this shaft. Unfortunately, I'll probably have to wait till June before it gets warm enough to hit it here in Chicago.

Tradekid..

I think its one of the lowest spin combo a person might think of. Its probably similar to playing a 6* driver...


I had tried 540 UL on the propulsion 10.5.. Though its a very straight performing combo. But I landed with a different problem > NOT enough spin -.-...yucks..I think I need a 12 driver.. This shaft works good for accuracy but doesn't have enough launch..
