I need a bit of help looking for a new shaft for my driver.
I need something high launching as I don't have a particularly high fight or launch. (Relatively low spin too)
It needs to be stable (reason why I'm currently using a heavy X stuff shaft) but give me a bit of assistance in getting the ball flying.

Been hugely impressed with the Matrix black tie, may be too low launching for what you are looking for, maybe look at the Red tie as that launches a bit higher.

Alternatively, look to get the higher launch from more loft on the head?

real difficult not knowing anything about the current launch conditions - AoA, Dynamic loft, swing speed etc

could be that it's a ways to do with set-up angles & ball position + tee height - set-up often is a large part of these kind of issues -secondary spine angle at set-up & maintaining that into the ball in particular

the g25 at 10.5 shouldn't be giving a low launch, low peak height - is the current shaft maybes too stiff as a starting point

real difficult to say how any shaft will release in folks hands - down to the swing motion going on as the 'launch' of a shaft is only a function of how folks 'load' it through transition

if any swing action is a ways extreme in movement that's producing low dynamic loft, strike location so low launch with not so much spin - spin rate a major factor in getting 'air' to the launch & flight
change of shaft may bring some minor help but won't necessarily override the motion

best answer is there the possibility of getting to a specialist fitter as they as a norm carry big range of shafts plus have the LM's to monitor what's going down at strike so in the position to give the best outcome - even if it's some hours of travel would be worth the trouble for sure

meantime would spray the face up (foot or dry shampoo spray) check the norm strike pattern - e.g. too low off of the face, face delighted - closed any going to massively play into low launch & flight with not so much spin

generally you wouldn't want too stiff a shaft with a high kick point & not too heavy but current shaft at 75g wouldn't class as heavy though - that's if driver & shaft is the same as the sig.
