Heavy flexible shaft for thriver??

govols

Does one exist? In a regular flex or even senior flex. 90 mph smooth swing. I'd like to build a 43-44" thriver using a powerbilt air force one 14 Degree head. I'm struggling with a shaft choice. I do have a vintage Titanium shaft from long ago that used to have a bangomatic head attached. I think uncut it was around 100 grams and high bend point. However I'd like a low bend point shaft for the powerbilt head. Thanks yall.

Aldila nvs 85 r flex and SK Fibre Tour Trac 90 r flex (both weigh in high 80,s), aldila DVS 80 (although will only weigh 80ish grams)....These all play fairly similar.

This one might work, but know nothing about it-

The other option would be to look at a really weak tip steel shaft....Like an a/l combo flex spectre lite or a/l combo flex shadow (this one will be heavier), if u can find them. Or even an a/l TT lite xl.

Steel is real.

A trick to get the shaft weight up is by using 5/8" shrink tubing.....Works quite well!

For driver, 80-90 gm is plenty heavy for your purpose.
Find one with low flex point and off you go.

What about an Aldila VX? I just put one in a 12 deg DCT. Cheap experiment

What?
You didn't take the poon out of your gamer did ya?

Spuzz
No, spare one...Epic is still in the other one...

Who was the one that quoted this term at the FGI/GEA - don;t take the poon out of the driver ?

Okay, Dyno from north of the boarder.
Where is he ?

Dyno joined here I think but likely is not here often.
He's alive and well though, last I heard from him over a year ago.

Monark has the MFS40+ in A flex for $22.45, a few bucks less than Hireko. Monark has the Kujoh 85 in A & R, too. And somebody (golfstealsnanddeals perhaps) had a few of MFS40+ on EBay -- forget which flexes.

Maybe he will pop in sometime to poon the Buzzers.

Have not found a steel shaft that's as tip flex as a graphite shaft could be.
I guess that's needing a hands on trial to find out.

How about the Matrix Radix S VIII? That shaft in reg flex weighs 83g, is high launch/med-high spin, and has a swing speed range of 82-88mph. With a 90mph swing you'd be at the upper end of that range, but if you're a smooth swinger who doesn't put much load then that's where you'd want to be anyway. You could even tip it an extra 1/2" if you wanted to make the SS range more like 85-91. Diamond Tour has them for just $27.49: http://www.diamondtour.com/golf-components/club-shafts/matrix-golf-shafts/matrix-radix-s-viii-wood-shaft.html

customgolfcenter I have one waiting for a project.....Either going in an f6 or a fly z. Love the radix 7, it stood up to my biggest lashes without blinking.

I would think that whatever your normal flex is, based upon your swing speed, would suffice. If you go firmer based solely upon loft, you might be compromising whatever gains you would otherwise expect from the higher lofted driver.

I added an inch to my 11.5º driver shaft. Kept it at regular flex.. Trajectory was good. Would rather see you go lighter versus firmer, unless you start hooking your tee shots. If you're hooking your tee shots, then you might be better off going firmer verses lighter.
