Posted October 2, 20159 yr comment_248104 I am ready to venture into the JDM market and am looking for legal driver suggestions. I am currently an 8 handicap and used to play to a 3 and also used to swing about 10mph faster, before several back injuries (run over by a truck twice). I only swing around 92-95mph now,and top out at under 100. Quick tempo and transition. My smash factor is typically 1.49, so I can really max out a drivers capabilities for my swing speed. I am a high launch/high spin player, but am working on bringing both down with swing mechanics. Looking for distance first, accuracy second and I prefer a muted thwack sound as apposed to a metallic tink. Suggestions for head/shaft combos appreciated.

Given your description of yourself as a good ball striker (smash factor 1.49 is on the same level as LPGA tour pros) with high launch and high spin looking for distance, I'd strongly suggest JBeam ZY-11. I'm currently gaming it with a 46.5-inch TRPX Air shaft. It has a very deep face and very forward and low CG which produces very low spin (around 1500 in my case). It's quite similar to Taylormade SLDR driver in this sense. You need a bit more loft (I use 11 vs 10 for my other drivers). It's also foamed so produces muted sound, just as you prefer.
