Driver Shaft Question

[Region3]

Sorry for yet another shaft question. I've tried researching tinterweb and not come up with much so I'm hoping the experts on here might be able to help.

I currently have a Project-X 7C3 stiff shaft in my 910D2.

If I could do it without spending loads, I'd like to try a shaft that is lighter (maybe around 60g?), has a lower torque figure (preferably under 3) but plays equally as stiff as my current one.

Has anyone any ideas? Is it possible?

Thanks.

The obvious answer (except for without spending loads) is the new Black project X shaft, which in effect is your current shaft but 10g lighter

 

[fundy]

Others worth considering could be:

Motore F1 65g
Motore Speeder VC 6.1
ProForce V2 66g

Link has the upgrade shaft specs on it, as for getting one cheap prob best to keep an eye on ebay Id expect

Why do you want torque below 3.0? Thats likely to make it feel stiffer than your current one

That's already a low-ish torque shaft - and R6.0. 6c12 is 64gm version

What are you trying to achieve?​

Similar to yours but slightly lighter at 67g, torque is 3.5 tho

the 7C3 is 73g according to the Titleist specs

the 7C3 is 73g according to the Titleist specs

True. Post adjusted - but not fast enough! . Dunno how I read that!

Thanks for the replies. I didn't realise there was a black PX shaft, sounds interesting.

Yes, the current one is 73g.

I'm not trying to 'achieve' anything as such, just fancy playing around with it.

Lighter because I'm skinny and light and mine sometimes feels a bit heavy. Less torque because of an article ( http://www.butchharmonfloridian.com...-driver-of-your-life-in-five-minutes-or-less/ ) which suggests I might find it feels better, but don't want to go much softer (if any) because I think I give it a reasonable slap.

Thanks for the link to the chart fundy, saved to my favourites.

From that it looks like the RIP a60 might fit the bill. Is that the standard RIP that Titleist use in the 910?

 

[fundy]

yep thats the standard RIP used in the 910 - personally think its horrid but know plenty who like it (there again I prefer a heavier shaft)

the PX black only been out a matter of weeks, not sure if its even made it to the uk yet. Seem the 6.0 PX Black is 58g - so 15g lighter than yours

Cheers fundy.

Someone on ebay has them. £175 with no grip or adaptor! I'll leave it a while lol.

 

[fundy]

Yeah maybe best to let them get a tad cheaper lol

Not sure if you were considering the RIP60, if so ones popped up on ebay

Cheers Steve.

I'd never considered it before after reading people's opinion on it, but if it doesn't go for more than around £40 I might take a cheeky punt on it.
Should be able to sell it on again.

 

[fundy]

I need all of the maximum allowed clubhead volume to make sure my ball catches a piece of it!!

I had a V2 in my 909. Very good shaft but a bit to beefy for me so if you wanted the x flex, the V2 and the smaller head we could have a deal
