    Hi, I'd like to get your advice on the right shaft for me as I am looking forward to buy 915 D4, 9,5 dgrs head . Current;y I play 910 D2, 9,5 dgr head on Diamana Mitsubishi rayon 72 low-mid flex-S, regular length shaft. I play my 3 wood also stiff, Diamana mitsubishi rayon 60 x5ct shaft and really hit it 200-215 meters.

    With my driver I play 215-225 meters carry and its a bit heavy for me to whip it during the swing.

    Hence, can u recommend me right shaft for me? before deciding to buy a new driver i was really struggling with too much spin shorting my rolling effect. Current distance on a soft course can be up to 235-245 maximum.

    Thanks in advance.

    Based on the information provided, no one can accurately recommend the correct shaft for you. You need to find a certified Titleist fitter in your area and go through the fitting process. It's the only way to know you are getting the correct shaft (and club head for that matter) for your swing.
    In the mean time, go to the custom options booklet (link below) to review the shafts available from Titleist and their specs.

    Please go to a Titleist Fitting Centre or to a Pro that has either a Flightscope or Trackman and get your numbers and then decide on the shaft. Both the Flightscope and Trackman will give you the spin rate etc. I went on the the Flightscope when our Titleist rep was at our course and got fitted for the correct shaft and have not been sorry.

    Please go see a certified fitter and he can match you with the correct driver and shaft.

    No one here can give you any advice without seeing your swing, spin, speed and flight.. You need to get on a monitor with a Pro.... It'll save you cash in the long run.

    If you are going to buy a MOTO driver, then you really should be properly fitted for the clubhead/shaft. Paying the extra money for the D4 without being fitted is a bit of a waste of money.

    It is near impossible to have anyone here tell you what shaft to use without being able to see you swing and the ball flight off the clubface.

    I would recommend the 915D2 head over the D4 only because of it's forgiveness. Can't help you on the shaft though. The shaft is a tricky subject!
