Been out a while now drawboy. I think it usually comes up with the same 3 shaft options so they can cut down on the stock levels of the others

Had a go on this as part of my fitting recently. Very impressive and it really does feel like a normal club. Gave me DGS300, PX5.5 and KBS Stiff.
Going with the S300 as it gave better flight.

Worth a go.

Imurg. Did the analyiser tell you that? Or was it the good old fashioned Mark 1 eyeball?

 

[Imurg]

Bit of both. Marc at Oxford Acadamy looked at the flight from the shafts suggested by the Optimizer - saved a bit of time choosing between the plethora of shafts available.
All 3 swings were within a whisker of each other readings-wise. Once we knew we needed stiff shafts we concentrated on the 3 mentioned and chose the best of them. I definitely needed stiff rather than PX5.0 that I have currently - it makes a huge difference.

The optimiser will actually throw out a few rare shaft suggestions from time to time - for example the TT DGS300 XP or the Nippon Pro.

It is only meant to be a shortlist for demoing, and you should decide based on the demo.

As a matter of interest, once you have found the optimum shaft, does the type or make of club head matter too much.

Or is the correct shaft head dependant?

 

[Ethan]

Mizuno makes several weights of standard head, mainly to allow for adding/subtracting length and maintaining swingweight. I would imagine that most fitting places do not have those though, and use standard head weight.

 

[Leftie]

What I was getting at was - once you have found the right shaft for you at (say) a Mizuno c/f session based on Y or Z head, would that shaft still be the best one for you if you decided to go for another manufacturer's club head. i.e. find the right shaft, find a club head that you like, and combine the two.

 

[Imurg]

Maybe but different heads having different designs and weighting would affect trajectory to an extent.
Having a DGS300 in a MP68 doesn't necessarily mean you need a S300 in a Cally X 22 - the two heads are designed to do 2 different things.
