Switching from stock Alidla shaft in R9460

[naj959]

What did you guys go to?

Now that my swing changes are settling in and I've become a little stronger I think it may be time to update shafts. I went out and played yesterday and noticed that My tee shots were launching straight up and possibly ballooning. The ball flight almost looks like what you would see from a skyed tee shot except it carries anywhere from 210 220 yards with very little if any roll out. As for my swing the last time I got on a monitor I was in the high 80's to low 90's with a LA of I believe around 14* and backs spin of around 3200rmp. I'm thinking that my speed may have increased a little and launch angle and spin have deffinately gone up. On a 200 yard par three I tried to hit a 3/4 knock down 3 wood and it did the same thing launching way up in the air and coming down like a flop shot on the front edge. It was a pretty cool shot but the ability to conrol trajectory is completely gone. My questions is what is a cheap mid-low spin shaft I can put in my 460. I like the weight and feel of the aldila but would be willing to try something lighter weight and playing at 45''? Nothing over 65 grams. My playing parter said I could move to a stiff but i dont think I'm ready yet. I'm just looking for something under $100 for a cheap experiment. I'm gonna order some extra sleeves and let the fun begin.

Aldila NV is a good place to start. You can sometimes pick them up for $20-30, though they might be pink.

The stock shaft in the 460 does spin a ton...I had the same problem with mine.

You can pick up the R9 tips/sleeves at golfsmith now.
Something I love about the R9 setup is how easy it is to try different shafts.
In my 460 I've had the stock aldila which didn't work for me.
Then : Aldila NV65 (66gr) pretty good shaft w/ my swing. I've had it in other drivers as well w/ good results.
Diamana Blueboard 63 s (60gr) - smooth and works well with this head.
Oban devotion 6 (68gr) great shaft for this head as well
Fubuki 63s -didn't work for me. Going to the BST soon.
I just got a Matrix Ozik HD6 (66gr) can't wait to try it.
The NV is the least expensive of all these listed and can be had for about 60-70 buck or less.
Check ebay and the BST here for deals, although you might have better luck on ebay if you're looking for a
regular flex.

Hey thanks for the tips guys. I remeber swinging a made-for blueboard and liking it but think it might be out of my price range (aren't they like $300)? I'm gonna try out the NV and AxivTour Green (I think). Do you guys think I would have a similar spin issue if I put in a Ys6+ ? Are there pros and cons associated with choosing a .350 or .335 tip? I'll probabtly pick up an adapter this weekend. I wasn't all that impressed with the Fubuki or the Matrix
