Well what a disastrous experiment I had at the weekend :( been hitting my driver pretty well recently so wanted to start exploring other options. I had intended to try the AMP but my pro only had a regular shaft. Discussion though was that with my swing speed it would probably balloon, which echoed some of the comments on here.

The reason for me looking at changing is the amount of spin I generate. With the wind my drives are going between 270 - 290 yards, but into the wind I'm hitting it about 220-230 as it just climbs and dies.

So on a whim I took out a 910D2 with a RIP shaft. Sadly I wasn't fast enough to get any juice out of the shaft with my natural tempo, and attempts to crack one cost me all control.

So I am thinking of the G20 but having had high spin problems with the G15 I was wondering if anyone else who faced that problem had been fitted and found a workable solution? My brother lives in Nottingham so I'm thinking about pooling any more winnings this season and birthday money and taking a road trip around my birthday in August.

Or should I stick with what I've got until next season?

Why the G20 - doesn't seem like an obvious contender for a low spin low launch flight.

Can you try other shafts in the Titleist - the Ahina stiff, for example?

I kind of got the feeling when I was hitting the D2 that you had to hit it right out of the screws o get optimum distance so I guess I was thinking G20 in terms of forgiveness of clubhead but with a shaft to bring the spin rate down. I know Fragger got on well with the i20 so if I went to Gainsborough I'd have the option of trying a low spinning head as well.
 
I'm using the G20 10.5 at the moment with the stock stiff shaft (the tour version) and I'm more than happy with it.
I think the tour shaft has a lower kick point to keep the flight down.
I previously got fitted for a Titleist 910 d2 and to be honest wasn't overly impressed despite always using Titleist drivers, so I didn't bother getting fitted for the ping, I just took a demo out

For me it's working much better than the 910. Ive forgotten what my stats are but I put it out about 250 and play off 10.
I'd be surprised if you didn't get on with a similar set up, or maybe 9.5 loft.
Hope you find what your looking for.

Thanks Qwerty that's really helpful to know. Generally we don't get stiff winds till Autumn so waiting looks like the plan :)
