King Par is an unknown quantity at this point
Recommend me a Shaft

I'm playing the UL 440 right now, at 46".

It's too light and I hate the way it feels. It just doesn't feel good to me, can't explain it. I was originally going to go to a different head, but I've hit this on the screws a few times and it feels really good and performs. So a heavier/shorter shaft should work.

I'm choking up on it consistently, and measured where I hit it best and that's two inches from the top. So I'm going to play my next driver at 44".

I need a recommendation for a shaft. I also like a boardy feeling shaft, just a personal preference.

-Low/Mid Launch
-75-100 grams
-Stiff

I've been thinking UST Proforce V.2 75 or Graman UL 680.

I know I'm overlooking a lot of shafts, any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Fujikura Pro95. Best heavy shaft out there, IMO.

I've hit that, but its tip stiff, the Harrison Pro 2.5 95g is a little easier. You could always try steel at 44"

how about looking for a closeout on one of these
Dynamic Gold Lite

trimmed I'm guessing will get you pretty close to 100grams

or, maybe one of those pink NV's you see on Ebay for $20? - a pink shafted geek would be pretty badass

The good old Graf Blue (not ProLaunch Blue) is about as boardy as it gets. Not sure what weight you can get that in.

dave's Harrison suggestion.

Accuflex Evolution.

UL780. Just do it and forget about it.

When I had a UL680 in a driver head, it was so soft I couldn't tip it enough to give it a chance at 250cpm. One of the worst shafts I have ever swung.

NV-esque.

Great shaft for sure, one I would recommend without question.

The Fuji speeder 757 is always a good bet as well.

Yep, the 757 is a solid choice too.

If you like the 757, you should also have luck with the CompNT and the VS Proto. Pick your weight. 3 of my favorite shafts.
