I am looking into getting new clubs I spoke with a custom fitter who stated I need to go with reg shatfs which I have now. I hit driver very high and average 225 to 245. I have the tm burner 10.5 reg shaft. I played with a man who has played pro golf and teeing off on 18 he asked to see my driver he then advised I hit the ball to high and I need to switch to a stiff shaft that would keep the ball from going so high. I told him my swing speed last time I check it in simulator was around 90 to 95. He said their was no way I swung the club faster than that. I do not want to order new clubs and get wrong shafts anyone have thoughts.

New shaft Aldila NV 65-r. Mid / high bend point

Played first round with it today. Lower ball flight mores distance looks good. All in all I like it. Now when ball hits ground I get roll hit a couple drives in the 260 - 280 range not sure what launch angle but will post when I get a chance to go to golf store.

Thanks for all input and advise


Awesome. Anything 260 or over is long enough to play most any golf course you're likely to come across and get yourself in good positions to use some of your shorter clubs into greens. If you are able to keep the ball down with that shaft, then I'd say you're good to go.
