To get your golf ball up in the air(12-14 degrees), you either need more loft or a shaft with a low kick point. Also, replace your extra long shaft(46.75 inches) to 44.5 inches and you will see an improvement immediately. You are getting your golf shaft length confused with your johnson.

Jim, do you have any idea how fast you swing(mph) your driver. My speed is around 105mph, and I use a weak(Titleist) stiff shaft(low kick 10.5 degrees 44.5 inches). My ball speed averages 156 mph.

BELLYPUTTER I CUT MY EXTRA STIFF SHAFT DOWN TO 46 1/4 INCHES LONG AND UNBELIAVABLE I HIT MY DRIVER GREAT TODAY.HOW CAN YOU FIGURE THAT I WAS GOING TO GO TO A SOFTER WHIPPIER SHAFT AND THE EXTRA STIFF SHAFT IS FINE.

BELLYPUTTER WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS (ALDILA ONE) SHAFT IT IS FAT ON THE TOP THEN THINS DOWN TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE SHAFT.THEY DONT MAKE THEM ANYMORE I BOUGHT THIS ONE ON E-BAY.I AM STILL GOING TO BID ON A NEW SHAFT THEY ARE CHEAP ON E-BAY NOW I AM LOOKING FOR A SHAFT THAT MIGHT HELP WITH THIS HUGE COBRA HEAD.ALDILA EXTRA STIFF SEEMS TO BE WHAT I AM LOOKING INTO.

JESUS CHRIST I MUST HAVE BEEN INSANE TO EVEN THINK ABOUT A REGULAR SHAFT I USE A LONGER SHAFT AND IT WOULD WHIP TO MUCH.
