taylor made r9 460

[lucan]

while on holiday on florida i bought a r9 460 driver according to the smart arse salesman and his launch monitor i needed a stiff shaft even though i was thinking reg shaft more suitable against my better judgement i went with the stiff shaft.
this shaft is so wrong for me.
intrested to know if anyone else has been caught out like this and is it worth getting a new shaft fitted or am i wasting even more money doing this.

As its the R9 you can easily get replacement shafts - like this one.....

Sell yours and you wont lose much if anything.

Out of interest, what was your swing speed. Why do you think what you have is wrong for you?

 

[lucan]

my swing speed with a driver is 95 mph.
i was recently fitted by mizuno for a set of irons and was inbtween r and s.

 

[Alex1975]

Hmm i was told my driver swing speed was 93.5 mph and I was fitted for Mizuno irons the other day and my 3 swings were 81, 82, 83 mph. In one shaft I was a Stiff (NSPro 950) and in the other also a stiff but with soft step (dynalight gold XP s300). It sounds like you may need a stiff driver shaft but only just.

Again, what makes you think the current driver shaft is no good for you? loss of distance or what?

BTW im not a pro, im just asking for my own interest.

Lots of people don't play the same flex shaft in their irons as in their woods.

As Alex said, what is it about the shaft that makes you think it isn't right for you?

 

[Oddsocks]

also a driver has a longer shaft, which creates more shaft speed meaning your driver shaft should be the stiffest of the set, so im lead to beleive.

I have always had a stiff shaft in my driver, and have been c/f'ed for stiff too, but have regular shafts in my irons (also c/f'ed). It is not unusual.

Was borderline stiff shaft in the Ping I15 driver I demo'd but definitely regular in irons.
