aberdeenlad Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Im looking to change my Epon AF101 for something new Its a 9 deg loft with a Ozik F6M2 firm shaft. This combo gives me a great flight but I think I should be hitting it longer ( who doesnt????) Ive got a swing speed approx 85/90 mph Hit a draw approx 250/260 on a good day I like to hit it low ( Scottish weather ) and theres not much run due to ground conditions but would like to max it out what run there is Can anyone recommend a club and shaft combo that might get those extra yards?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodsie Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I spent a lot of time in your beautiful City. I was there one time when a Flare was sent up for a call to a Sea Rescue team. What sight watching those brave guys hit the waves heading out into the North Sea. I would recommend that you keep the AF101 but change the shaft to a Graphite Design Tour AD MD6r. When that is done, just tee the ball a little bit lower to maximize the engineering/design of the face of your AF101. You should get a good penetrating ball flight that will carry farther. Get some of those impact stickers and do a little testing to find just the right height to tee the ball and, bingo, you will have what you are seeking. Good luck and down the middle...

aberdeenlad Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hello again, hope you dont mind me asking but what shaft would you put me in if I was buying a EMB with 10.5 deg loft? I dont want to launch it into space but would like a lowish flight with some run thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aberdeenlad Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Im beginning to think the same , reading some of the posts on here it looks like thats the best option. Ive looked on the Graphite Design website and they have some new shafts, which has just confused me now !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I see that you are using the af101 now and you would be totally disappointed switching to the EMB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberdeenlad Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Thanks for the advice. Im starting to get that feeling I do like the feel of the af just trying to get some more yards out of it !! i think a change of shaft might be the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
