    Hey, I was wanting to know if anyone would suggest a shaft for me... I have a swing speed of about 85 to 92ish with a driver and I hit it about 235 to 240, anyone have any suggestions?

    Ryan,

    Without knowing more about your swing, launch angle, ball-flight, etc...., it's impossible to correctly recommend a shaft.  My advice would be to locate a qualified Titleist fitter in your area, set-up a fitting session and let the fitter recommend a shaft, and possibly an alternate, based on your numbers from the fitting session (outside with a launch monitor would be the best).

    Best of luck finding the correct shaft for your swing.

    Tough to say as we do not know your loft, shaft, driver head, tempo, etc.

    Still, it seems you are getting a lot from your driver with a 85-92 SS and 235-240 results. You must be getting some roll.

    But let's say you're the typical Average Joe Golfer who uses too little loft, too much flex, too much heavy headed balance, and too much shaft weight.

    You may want to try a high 40'sg shaft weight that is mid to high launch (or an active tip) and moderate spin, R flex, and higher loft >11.

    Of course, it helps if you have a positive angle of attack (make contact on a slight upswing) by positioning the ball off your shoulder blade (front toe), and tee it up a bit. Do that before purchasing a shaft, if you are not already doing so, look at the results, and then see what you need.

    Ryan, I agree 100% with Barry.  Only a fitter a can can set you up with exactly what you need.  He will take a look at your swing and make a determination of what is right for you........none of us amateurs can make that call for you......find one near you and you will be a happy camper.....cheers....chuck

    Go see a fitter.  No one here can guess what shaft may be best for you.

    Definitely seek an Advanced Titleist Fitter in your area! It will make a world of difference seeing your numbers and thus be fit properly for the shaft that is optimal for your game and desired results! I was fit for the 915 and it is going to bring my game into new heights and territory.
