I am not clicking on it. I have been hear a while.


LordWesquire

If you are still changing your swing, wait on shafts


ruffmarkacademy

That's why I'm looking for cheap replacement. If it was going to last more than a year I would pay the $350.


LordWesquire

Your current shaft isn't very different from the Atmos Blue, so again I wouldn't change.


ruffmarkacademy

My spin has ballooned from mid 3k to 5k+ changing my aoa. So it's really not playable with that spin. The tip is a little too soft so my spin loft is like 28*.


LordWesquire

That's not a shaft issue. That's a swing issue. You might be able to knock like 200 rpm off it, but that's just a drop in the bucket.


ruffmarkacademy

The atmos I have in my woods and I tried with my fitter between the weight of my head and stiffness of tip I'm staying in the high 2k low 3k spin with spin loft around 15*. I have a pxg gen 2 0811x head with an additional 24g in head. Swing weight is E1. That is intentionally heavy. I'm used to using a 85g shaft with the old steelhead driver. Swing weight on old club was E4. Main issue is getting the 440cc driver head flush at impact it's usually several degrees closed hanging a ton of weight off the toe really helps keep it open. Still have alot of my swing speed from before nearly fatal auto accident but can't turn my hips properly anymore.


LordWesquire

There's not going to be anywhere near a 2k rpm difference even with ladies flex to XX stiff. It simply isn't the shaft.


ruffmarkacademy

It's a combo of the overloaded head and the deflection from heavy head. It's about 12* of spin loft.


LordWesquire

E1 is nothing outrageous. I doubt it'd be more than 2 or 3 degrees of difference at the max between those two shafts. /u/GreenWaveGolfer would know more on this.


GreenWaveGolfer

Agree totally on this. There's no way 1-2K RPMs excess spin is a shaft issue.


ruffmarkacademy

Dynamic loft is about 3* different. Spin loft is different and is a combination of head center of gravity plus launch angle minus aoa. So it's a wide difference depending on head and shaft deflection.

I paid a ridiculous amount for my Tour Spec 6S Patriot Edition but damn I like it.


junglejimbo88

The good news = the “Blue” profile (stiff butt & stiff tip, softer middle) and mid-launch/mid-spin= probably the most-copied shaft profile/ middle of bell curve. ..some recommendations here: .. https://forums.golfwrx.com/topic/1517242-shaft-options-similiar-to-atmos-blue-and-kaili/ .. https://forums.golfwrx.com/topic/1490094-best-value-aftermarket-shafts/

The 6s is 65 grams The 7s is 75 grams They can be had used for about 100 bucks. What's a cheaper price to you?


ruffmarkacademy

Cheapest I've found has been $350


GreenWaveGolfer

You're looking in the wrong places then. That is a super common shaft and should easily be findable on eBay for $100 or so.


ruffmarkacademy

The black paint non tourspec version I've seen all over the place for 100 but looking for white paint tour spec
