Voodoo Shaft
What is the best combination of loft and flex for a driver with a swing speed of 115 mph?
I have a 9.5 degree Nike Dymo driver. I took out the stock UST shaft and installed an Aldila Voodoo VS6 shaft that is playing between stiff and x-stiff. I have a very high ball flight with this combination. My clubhead speed with the driver is somewhere between 115 and 120 mph. My ball flight has a slight baloon to it with not much roll when it lands. I was thinking about buying the Callaway FT tour with an x-stiff shaft and an 8.5 degree head. Do you think this would help lower my ball flight and add a little more roll to my drives? Thanks!
On average I hit the ball around 270. Most of my yardage is carry, with little roll.
With clubhead speed between 115 and 120mph it suggests to me that you have load leakage in the release process. As Tiger says you have to hit it high to hit it long you are doing the high bit and you are only 12 mph slower than him in clubhead speed. Ball speed (determines length) and it is equal to the clubhead speed at impact added to the clubhead speed at separation. Your technic must be causing you to excessively drop mph at separation (when the club exits the ball). I recommend that you get a lesson and monitor your swing speed at separation as well as at impact before u re-invest in any new equipment. Good Luck with it!
