Looking for a shaft

Just for future reference... If you're looking for a shaft with a MAP of $300 and you want it below $150 then you need to look for pullout shafts. There is no way that I could sell you a Rogue at $150 or below and not lose money. If you buy a new Rogue at that price then it's more then likely fake.

What you got was a Rogue that was an upgrade in an Taylormade, Titleist? head that was pulled and installed in the current driver you purchased. It's a great way to get a good priced shaft for cheap.

All I do is sell high end shafts for Fujikura, Mitsubishi, Matrix, Aldila, and UST mamiya.

FYI

Good to know SRG! Thanks for the info. So far I've been super happy with it. Just trying to get more consistent. Been swinging a pretty weak shaft for a long time, so it's taking some adjustment to maximize potential.

I swing in the 120s. I was fitted by a volnation member, SolidRockGolf, I don't know if he's still here or not. For the money you won't find a better shaft. All that being said, I find a 320 carry a little far fetched.

Well damn, don't bump into him, Magoo.

I did too. But with a solid swing and what was probably an abnormally low spin rate (1600) it really carried on the monitor. Pretty optimal shot factors on that one.

Normally my angle of attack is pretty steep. Trying to fix it to keep the spin numbers sub 3000 on a consistent basis.

Does anybody on here use Zepp? Been reading about it but I'm a little skeptical... Maybe I need to trust tech more.

Question for Solid Rock,

I've only recently found out how much shaft can affect your game. May sound dumb, but just being honest.

Right now, my driver swing speed is 115-120. Irons probably in the 100-110 range depending on the shot im hitting. I have Nike Ignite irons with the original "uniflex" steel shafts in them.

Am I in dire need of some new equipment there or is it all going to depend on my ball striking.

Just an FYI about launch monitors... make sure you don't tape the damn face of the club while hitting on one and that includes strike tape. It kills backspin and if you launch it high you just hit a 350 yard drive and then wonder why it doesn't work on the course! If you see any fitter doing that leave immediately. Also, make sure the settings are not at altitude or with wind behind you. Not saying this was the case above, but 1600 RPM on anything that's not a duck hook is highly improbable.

Simulators are used to sell. That is what Golf Galaxy, Dicks and others use to sell clubs. Its not a Launch Monitor and that is why they mess with the settings. As far as tape on the face you can look at it both ways. Without tape and then with tape. The tape can be used to show a golfer how much he is effecting side spin by the way it hits the face or if a swingweight is effecting his impact zone. Saying "leave immediately" says that you only know enough info about fittings to be dangerous.

I use tape and I don't use tape. I use a LM and I have them hit a range. It depends on what I am looking for at the time... like do I need to look at spin, swingweight, angle of attack, axis of swing, release of hands.... etc.

Just going off the info you have told me and making assumptions I would say you need a reshaft in your irons.

Uniflex shafts can fit golfers with swing speeds ranging as high as 90+mph (for smooth swingers with an early release) or as low as 78mph (for aggressive swingers with late a release).

You will need to look more at Strong Flex to X-Flex depending on the makeup for the shafts profile and your release point.

What's up OB. I hope you and your family are doing well these days. It seems like yesterday you were at the Golf Shop. :)

The older I get the faster the time goes.

Independent fitters sell their time and stock same as a store. I was just making a point that I saw last time I was in a store a "fitter"/salesperson did that. My point is don't get "fit" by someone who casually hands you a taped up club to swing on the launch monitor or simulator. That's a salesperson. And you can never use ANYTHING on the face when measuring spin rates (that's pretty obvious, no?). You can use tape other times in other ways but not if getting accurate spin numbers is your goal.

Choosing clubs and shafts is different from getting "fit".

As for my knowledge on the subject I must confess that I do not do "fittings" or sell clubs and would always defer to a rep from the van or former pro because they know more than I about it for sure.

Thanks man. Appreciate it. I guess I'll start looking to see what's out there.

It's a bit of a new world for me. Guess I need to play enough to get my handicap low enough to justify more purchases:)

Last time I was in a simulator, the guy told me I had the same swing as Charles Howell III which is funny because I look like I ate Charles Howell III. It was the most obvious sales job I've ever seen.

I had a pretty bad shot dispersion and the guy kept telling me "you're doing so well!"

I wanted to be like "dude, my spread is 80 yards wide and I'm hitting with my own driver. Give it a rest."

They're fun to hit on tho. Wish I had the money for one. Anybody know if Zepp golf is effective?

I cant get into fake golf. But I do live in Florida so I can golf all year round.
