Posted October 17, 201212 yr i have a 8.5* kamui pro head................. 189 gram head..................... i want to keep this "just in case" i dont know.. im completely at a loss of what to do with it build wise.... length??? shaft??? weight??? swing weight??? never been this perplexed before. ive been going the "other " way for the last 6 months. thing is i used to sue a 6.5* titleist 905 driver for a long time .. so im ok with low launchers. but thats before iwent mad......... seriolsuy im stumped here suggestions please.............................................,
October 17, 201212 yr sounds like a LD head?? at 189grams you have to shaft this with a 55-65 gram shaft and play it at 46.5-47" YOUR specs are very long driver esque.
October 17, 201212 yr Author cant play that length.... i was thinking of going hsort AND light 44 .5 inch and low 60s shaft weight ??????????????????
October 17, 201212 yr cant play that length.... i was thinking of going hsort AND light 44 .5 inch and low 60s shaft weight ?????????????????? those will be Elvish specs! i guess swing weight issues aside you should be fine.
October 17, 201212 yr I have an 8* lightweight component head with a 50gm X flex shaft that i play at 44.5" Not sure of the swing weight but i seriously can't miss a fairway with it and it's looong!
October 17, 201212 yr i'm with c...47" and make it a bomber!! and if you don't like it, at least i'll have something to hit if i ever get over there!!
October 18, 201212 yr Author hahahah..., hocko thats what i was thinking... light ... hig launch.. x flex shaft.. ive tried the crazy sigma 50 82 gram at 44.75.. was alsost impossible for me to hit it. slicematron..! so i know the heavier shorter option is OUT..!
October 18, 201212 yr I would be concerned if you go too long in the shaft you are going to have to jack the flex in order to keep the timing in check with your SS and self described transition/tempo...

Yep, go light and short and it can't get away on you.
October 19, 201212 yr Author ok... ok i have a ton of short length drivers no long ones.... this time ill make it long and light se how she goes...
October 19, 201212 yr My very first thought was to go really long, stupid long...47-48" long. I mean you've got tons of other fairway finders. Build something monstrous. I bet if you played with it long enough to adapt you'd figure it out. I borrowed my brothers driver (ping g10) with stock stiff shaft in it and was hooking everything something fierce. (Normal driver has been R11s with real RIP phenom 70 tour x) But after 20 balls and some adjustments I was hitting it dead straight albeit way too high. Can't wait for the results. Just give me warning before range session to put boards over my windows! Edited October 19, 201212 yr by MoreBeerBetterGolf
October 19, 201212 yr Author hahahahah.. ok what the hell ill go monster long...!!! i got THE shaft for this as well........ the roddio m6 proto SHINGO spec 2010 beeeeast.... my mates got a spare one ill nick that if this doesnt work nothing weill be c shingo plays it at 46.75 inch
