  1. I am about to get fitted for a new set of 714 AP2's and have a few questions for TT members.  I currently play 710 AP2's with DG S300 shafts.  My current ball flight is very low and I would like to obviously increase it.  I'm going to be fitted, but my course only has a limited selection of shafts.  My question is, does anyone have experience with Nippon pro modus 3 tour 120's or any of the other non-standard shafts in the titleist matrix that are higher launching than the S300's?  I have tried the xp95, and for some reason, I do not like them.  Thanks.

    Hi Dan, 

    Thanks for the post. 

    There are many options that could increase ball flight Vs the DG S300. Shafts such as Nippon 105 and PXi typically produce a higher flight than S300. With that said, do not be afraid to try weaker lofts if you find a shaft that you like the feel of but still produces a low flight. A lot of individuals think weaker lofts automatically means less distance, however, if someone would benefit from higher launch and spin, they often hit clubs with weaker lofts further. I myself weakened the lofts of my irons to help increase launch and spin because I did not want to change my X100 shafts, and it has worked out very well.

    Do not sacrifice feel and control for launch and spin. If you find a shaft you like, work with the head specs to get the desired flight. As always, it is best to work with a local fitter, but hopefully this information will give you some alternatives. 

    Keep us up to date.
