I've been playing with a Banzai shaft. Was great a first, but it started going too high (on the verge of balooning) and hooking. Had it in a Halo BTW.

Well I've decided to get a new hybrid and saw good reviews about the GD UT shaft here.

Do they have any tendency to baloon or hook? I've read that they launch high...

My swing speed is 105 with average tempo...

Any help would be great.

Thanks...

At 105 I suggest a tipped S flex, The GD UT Shafts are a charm, I am playing one in my Utility wood at this moment, Nice medium trajectory with a tight dispersion pattern. Feel has a good kick. If you have any specific questions please let us know, there are a good handful of TSG'ers who have tested this shaft and as far as I know enjoyed it.

feels kinda soft and whippy when you wiggle the club but doesn't balloon. great shaft + nice price for a japan gd

The UT-85 is a fantastic hybrid shaft. Smoooooth, long and tight at 2.some torque. THe accra HF Tour is great as well but the UT-85 is ever so slightly smoother giving it the minor edge for me. Fels soft but plays very very stable.

I saw g-field GFT-UW with "GD YS-H Type II" shaft, at Olympic Golf in Korea Town in L.A.

It looked awsome!
