Shaft advice

[King Par]

I have a problem with ball flight. I play a 10.5 R5 TP, stiff Fuji 757 shaft. The ball doesn't fly uncontrollably low, but its not as high as I'd like it.

My old driver was a 10.5 Ben Hogan CS3 with a regular NV shaft. The ball flight was too high when I made solid contact, so I altered my swing to lower the flight and was happy with distance. But the shaft felt like a wet noodle.

I want a shaft, that will give me a higher ball flight and I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of Graffaloy Pro Launch Blue, stiff?

I swing usually around 102-105.

Specifics wise, am I looking for something with a soft or firm tip?

What are the specs of the 757? (So I know what to stay away from)

If there is any other info that would help, I will answer.

I have a Prolaunch blue myself in a r7 425. I've only hit it indoors but I like it. But as for you if the NV is too high the Prolaunch will probably be high too high too, I've herd that they are similar in height. I'm sure Ezra could help you as he's tried many shafts and every TM driver to come out.

The 757 is a tip stiff higher bendpoint shaft. It's the shaft guys use to lower ballflight and decrease spin. There are not too many that would be considered a lower launcher than 757 out there so there are a ton of shafts that would go higher. The Diamana Blueboard that comes stock with the R5TP is one that will launch higher with a softer tip, not a huge jump but a definitely a softer tipped shaft. That's my recommendation as well as if your driver is in good shape, selling it and buying one with the Blueboard in it. The 757 shafted R5TP is more rare and you would get more for it than one with a Blueboard will cost. Either that or make sure you have a professional pull it. The 757 TP logo shaft should go for about $75 give or take and a "Speeder tour spec" logo one will go for around $100. If you decide you want either a TP Blueboard or the whole driver shafted with one, LMK and I can help you find one for a good price.

Ez why did you drop the burner TP I thought the FTI was a high spin POS.

The FTi hit's bombs but I need a more controllable shaft in it. I'm probably going to give the new DVS a shot as I can get one installed ridiculously cheap. I'll probably get rid of my Yes putter, which is looking like a big NO anyway and the new FTi headcover Callway sent with the FTi to fund the DVS and install. Then, hopefully, the 686 will be in good shape and ready to deal off. Those funds will be going towards a 200steel tour 13* or I may try a TEE 13* if I can find one for a good price with an aftermarket shaft I like.
