Driver Shafts
To get the most distance from your driver,
you must optimize the launch angle and spin rate of the ball by selecting the proper loft and the shaft flex for your swing speed. Generally, golfers with slower swing speeds require more lofted drivers and more flexible shafts to achieve the proper launch conditions. Conversely, golfers with faster swing speeds generally require lower lofted drivers and firmer shafts.
A trained fitter can help you get the most
out of each drive by observing the ball flight of shots hit with different loft and shaft specifications, and recommending the combination that creates the best trajectory shape for maximum distance. To find out which driver lofts and shaft flexes might be suggested for your swing get Web-Fit.

angle and increased spin rate when compared to the PING TFC 129D, providing an
alternative for golfers desiring a slightly higher driver trajectory.
TFC 909: Tip Flex Control - Designed specifically for
the Rapture product line, the TFC 909 Series utilizes high performance, lightweight
materials which increase club head speed for maximum distance and increase tip stability
for better control and feel.
Aldila VS Proto 65 - a premium graphite
shaft from Aldila that produces a lower launch angle and lower spin rate
than the TFC909D, which creates a lower overall trajectory.
Aldila NVS 65 - a premium graphite
shaft from Aldila that produces a higher launch angle and more spin
than the TFC909D, which creates a higher overall trajectory.
TFC 100: Tip Flex Control - Designed by PING, this
premium graphite shaft utilizes lightweight materials to help increase club head speed
for greater distance.
Aldila NV 65 - an alternative to
the standard TFC shaft, the NV 65 creates a lower trajectory drive
with a lower spin rate when compared to the TFC 100D.
Grafalloy ProLaunch 65 - an alternative to
the PING TFC 100D shaft, the ProLaunch 65 can help the golfer acheive a slightly
higher trajectory with approximately the same spin rate as the TFC 100D.
