johnnypro Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Don't know about the Striper, but for a straight-hitting, solid-feeling shaft that you won't need a home equity loan to buy, I don't think you can beat the Harrison Pro Titanium 2.5 (s/x). Just mho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowpro Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 striper tour 70 is a excellent driver shaft.. smooth feel and good control. medium high ball lanunch. i would still only insert the shaft nomore than 2''.. just to keep some feel in it.. and you are correct-- alot of great shaft under the $250 mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpcw Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Milk, I'm with you, aren't we all on the search for Excalibur, the perfect shaft. How about this. IMO, you need to lower your launch and spin rates. I could be wack, but why not move the ball 1", just one inch further back in your stance? I would be really curious to see the result. Lower your launch and spin! I moved the ball just 1and 1/2" further back...the result was a much lower launch, lower spin and another 15 yards easy. Shafts? Speak to Joe Kwok on this site. He is the Man. see: www.accragolf.com www.mccshafts.com www.accuflexgolf.com www.aldila.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwmilk Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 thanks guys, but just so you guys know i danced with alot of shafts last year including fuji pro 95, 757, and nv75and none of them let me score the proverbial home run. there are days,conditions permitting, that i can knock em out there 300 yds, but i can tell my ball has too much spin by its flight. also about playing the ball a little further back, maybe, but i dont want to block right. any way in all your opinions, whats the lowest spinning shaft around? thanks guys!

kpcw Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Milk, You said it best yourself, you were honest to admit in your first post that your spin rpm are up as is the ball flight, due to being 'handsy' just before impact. It sounds like you are flipping at impact, which means you are most likely casting from the top (nobody believes this till they see it in slow motion recorded video). Regardless, handsy at impact cannot, imo, be cured by a tip-stiff shaft. It can't be cured by a high kick, mid kick or low kick shaft. It can't be cured by a 50 gram ultra lightweight or 80 gram tour weight shaft. A low spin ball could help a wee bit. I moved the ball back one inch and 1/2. Think about it, just that much and it cured my high ball flight, lowered the spin. You will not keel over and die if you experiment with this for one hour. Not every tour pro has the ball even with their left toe, or left in-step. Plus, it is my firm bet that someone who is handsy/flippy at impact lost all their wrist cock and casted at the top. That is a safe bet. Good luck in finding the shaft that best suits you. I'm sure we can all relate to this scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
