Shaft options for Titleist 905S

ForumsGolf Equipment | 8 posts
 

Gday guys just wanted a few opinions on what shaft would suit this head. I swing at around 105-110 mph and am more of a hitter. I know this won't give me a perfect answer but I didn't get the invite to Augusta this year so close enough is good enough. Just thinking that they say the S is lower launching, less spin head so would certain shafts suit this, and vice versa. I have hit it with a V2 in it and it had a beautiful boring flight, and gee it looked perty! Ideas??
thanks.

 

Mate, depends on your swing...I just got an S with a V2 and I like it at this stage...but my swing won't be the same as yours.

Try what you can, get on a launchy, and make your own mind up.

down and out…did ya get that?

I intend to buy online as the finances dictate, so trying them on a monitor isn't really an option. I don't feel comfortable messing around shop staff with no intention to purchase.

 

Mine goes well with a Grafalloy Blue in it. My swingspeed is trypically 109-110 but I'm not really a "hitter". I am pretty handsy and flippy (think of Furyk & Couples). I've tried 905S's with Titleist Speeders, V2 and some weird KJ Choi proto shaft in it and I like mine the best.

Might I suggest the Graffolloy Nano 65 S, straight into the bore thru & cut to a length that gives you enough swing weight to get a feel. Must have the feel of the head position at hip height on the down swing- Jon...

 

They do a Grafalloy "Red" now, it is designed to suit high spin high launch players you swing it reasonably fast so a shaft like that might suit you well if you fit the high launch high spin catergory.

 

So with this head, which claims to be low spin and lower initial launch do you match this to a shaft which does the same, or to a more neutral shaft? To an idiot like me it seems strange to put a high launching shaft in it, is this a correct assumption aswell?
Thanks guys for all your help and comments.

 

Depends on the swing...

Low spin, low launch head with a high launch shaft may mean you launch at the right angle with the right spin...where as a high spin, high launch head with a low launch shaft may mean you launch too low and spin too much...
