With my limited knowledge, I think the shaft, not the loft, is the key. Am using a 4 wood (17 degree) fitted with a nvs75 regular shaft and it goes out on a medium to low flight. Also have a Nickent 3 iron recovery with the proforce sr shaft and it goes out lower than the driver as well so I...

I appreciate everybody,s comments. As I can,t find a place to get fitted, or any demo days, I am getting even more confused. Was thinking of putting a different shaft in the 12 degree or even going for the 10.5 with the NVS regular shaft. Need to make the right choice as money is tight.

Thanks for that. Still not sure, but was out today in really windy conditions. 12 degree into the wind, hit really well, you would be better with a 5 iron!! ok, with the wind, it goes a mile but into the wind it just feels like you are skying the ball.

Thanks for the shaft advice. Would you advise keeping the 12 degree or go for 10.5? I have an area for practice which measures exactly 200 yards and measure my driver carry regularly so know this is correct. Got swingspeed measured on a monitor in a large golf shop but the staff were clueless...

With my slow swing speed I know I will not launch it miles but the club change has made me even shorter. Bit of both would be good!!

Hi, I have a 12 handicap and play on a fast running links course over here in Northern Ireland and would like a mid ball flight due to the wind we get!!. My swing speed is slow and easy, in the 92-95mph range. I had the 10.5 G5 driver fitted with the Aldila nv regular shaft. I hit the ball...
