Hi,
I'm a 65 yo golfer with handicap ranging from 3 to 6, looking at purchasing the new Fujikura VENTUS shaft but would prefer some thoughts regarding shaft weight I should choose.
My driver swing speed is 92 mph and have generally settled for a REGULAR shaft but the last driver I purchased was the Callaway Rogue SZ with Aldila Synergy Blue 50-Stiff. I get along prety well with this shft but do find maybe because of the higher 5.2* torque, some drives especially into the wind can tend to baloon and I loose alot of distance with a high cut, I usually play a subtle fade.
The VENTUS torque is around 3.5*.
I quite like the feel of the sub 60 gram shaft and my back doesn't get as sore towards the round, sometimes I'll play 36 hole in a day events.
I play the 2014 Apex Forged irons with TT XP95 S300 with great results. Irons are my strength, not the driver.
Am I correct in my thinking, with a 92 mp SS, if I go for a sub 60 (57 gram) shaft, that I'd need to go for a stiff flex rather than a regular?
