I need a shaft recommendation for the 9.5 Epon 460

I use a TM R7 TP 460 10.5 D1

Swing Speed (mph or m/s) 90-100

Driver distance (yds) 220-230

Tempo (Slow, Reg, Fast) Reg

Transition (Smooth, Average, Aggressive) Average

Wrist lag (Minimal, Average, Lots) Average

Usual ball flight (Low, Medium, High) Medium

Desired Flight (Low, Medium, High) Medium

Desired Weight (60g, 70g, 80g range) 50-60

Bad shot (Right or Left) right

Current shaft specs (if available) TM/Fujikura TP Rombax 50gr R flex

What are you looking for in a shaft - distance and accuracy

I am pretty happy with the performance of my TM R7 460. I can keep the ball on the fairway. I tend to fade a bit when I get tired so any shaft that resists fading will be a plus. I also would like more distance and a low to medium flight.

If you ss is 90 to 100 mph, your distance should be a bit longer than 220 yard. Did you check it on a radar or launch monitor? Is your TM R7 Japanese version or NA version since shaft spec are different.

My Taylor Made R7 460 TP is Japanese Spec. Swing speed is guesstimate. 220 yard is total yardage on average.

If you are hitting a Japanese spec R flex well, I think your ss would be in the range of 85 to 90 max for a distance of 220 y average. You could be getting the wrong advice or recommendation based on a 100 mph ss. The best is to get on a launch monitor or radar to get tested for ss and launch angle.

stay in the 50gram range for weight, torgue 3-5* range, mid-high luanch. which brand -- :tsg_smilie_surprise: many to look at.

flex wise- ever try a A flex. something softer than the regular.. the last thning you said- leave them out to right towards the end of the round when i get tired.. softer flex will allow for you to still get threw the ball. my thoughts..

Based on your response on the other thread, you have a lot of choices for example (i am assuming you are keeping with JDM only):

Fuji ZCOM SIX r2, Rombax 5x07 R

Axiv 5056m, 5556m

Graphite Design W50, W60, PT5, PT6 and QT55 -all in R flex

Machline 5350 and possible 7060 R flex or a 5350 proto R

Diamana Red

and last and not least, your favourite-Roddio w5ba R flex

ps: IMO Machline shafts are very much underrated
