Driver shaft

Currently playing a Diamana whiteboard 72 stiff in my 913 D2. I hit it very high, would changing to the X flex lower ball flight?

I had the X flex in my 910D2 but went to stiff after trackman numbers with the 913?

Any advice?

The whiteboard is one of the lower launching shafts out there. Going to x flex may help, but you would need to have the swing speed for it.

I know thats whats frustrating it is supposed to be low but I hit it like a wedge!

If trackman suggested it was the best fit, what's changed to question it?
I'd suggest that if you're hitting a WB 'very high' that its not the shaft.

I have changed the take away more inside to hit more of a draw, and with good results. Not topping the ball by any means still carrying well, just far to high

As BITS has said, you're not gonna find too many shafts lower launching than the whiteboard.

The X flex may bring it down a small shade but if you're not strong enough for it you'll lose a few more balls right. I'd look at driver loft before changing the flex of the shaft.

I went to the whiteboard after a fitting and was still hitting it high.

I was just hitting it "less" high.

Took a while for me to be able to get the driver ball flight down and was a hell of a lot more to do with me than the shaft. The whiteboard works in the fitting i find because it will improve your numbers but it just doesn't put them where they need to be.

For what its worth i swing driver around 115-120 without tearing my nutsack open and i found stiff whiteboard works fine for me. If i hit the ball properly at 115 to 120 I might need more but until the techniques right it really wont be the flex that nails you.

Just out of curiosity, what would happen to said nutsack if you swing at 121mph?

Don't worry about the X, get less loft on your big dog or try an Xtreme (they come out low for most that I know that have had or tried them). Are you pretty steep on your downswing with the driver?

[davepuppies]

Is the ball spinning heaps and ballooning, or are you flipping you hands ( what I call a reverse flip) into impact?

I have a 72x that plays 44.5 that I would swap if you we're keen. In Melbourne

That's ballooning. And probably a swing fault (was for me)

[davepuppies]

Yep....... Hitting down on the ball...... Spinning its tits off.

What's your launch angle? Spin rpm?

[8081travis]

Was 11.5 ish spin 2800roughly off the top of my head

[TheNuclearOne]

Was 11.5 ish spin 2800roughly off the top of my head

Which wouldn't balloon unless you had some HUGE SS.

[Bushka]

At 121 mph my nutsaq explodes and a parachute flies out my arse

[aym]

do you hit all clubs high? I play with a mate who hits a drive like a PW.... his 7 iron is as high as my lob wedge... and I am 150% sure it's his swing... the bad thing with that is his swing speed is twice as fast as mine but his total distance is shorter cause he gets no roll at all..

[8081travis]

Yeah I think it could be my swing, i play s300 in irons 712mbs and the ball goes ridiculous heights off my irons too

[timah!]

Define 'ridiculous height'.
If its not ballooning, height is good.

[3oneday]

Do you break 90 often? Just go an X and get stuck in.

[liptout]

This....... ^^

If its ballooning up, than lowering the loft is not gona make it worse by putting more spin on it.

Get the loft up and get some good height on it, kinda like a rainbow or Harbour bridge sort of trajectory........
