Driver Shaft

[Newtonuti]

So, I've been really struggling getting driver to come down inside, causing me to strike on the heel. My coach gave me a drill using my swingplate, and off I went to practise. Upon attempting the drill on my own, I hit the metal part of the swingplate, and managed to snap my driver shaft (Kuro Kage 60 in Stiff).

Anyway, my mate had a spare shaft with Taylormade tip on (Evenflow Riptide 5.5) and suddenly with the new shaft, I was managing to get the shaft in to out a lot easier. Is this due to the shaft, or just me having a better day? I understand the Riptide is softer flex then the Kuor Kage.

Evenflow 5.5 is between reg and stiff
5 is reg, 6 is stiff

Personally I never got on with the Kuro Kage Tini, too long ago to remember the reason, and sold it.

Driver CHS is about 97-98mph, so I'm kind of on the border between regular and stiff.

A change of shaft won’t change your swing plane ( if I have read it right).
swing plane will follow your hand path.
it’s probably the shaft just suits you better with your swingchange.

Ah fair play! Either way, it seems to be working!
