Great advice Dylan!

Personally, I recently switched from the Project X 6.5 to the Kali (for Titleist) 65 X-stiff. I am very happy with this shaft and the X flex in the "for Titleist" shafts are very close to the after-market Tour versions.

It is hard to break the stigma a proprietary shaft carries but anyone who dismisses the proprietary shaft for that reason alone might be missing an opportunity.

Ok a few things here.

1) I have a swing speed similar to yours and have a D2 9.5 with a Mitsubishi Diamana Ahina 72 X.

This shaft is really good for me, low torque, and lower flight. I hit a high ball also and this give me the flight I want.

If your worried about the "for titleist" don't be. I am friends with our local rep for Titleist and he told me that the R and S flex actually are tweaked by Titleist (more torque and different kick point). HOWEVER the X flex are straight out Mitsubishi and aren't tweaked. I trust him on this and can tell that this club definitely is a solid X flex. Mitsubishi is one of the good shaft makers out there.

2) Between D2 and D3 the decision was pretty easy for me. I chose forgiveness. The D3 has a slightly taller face but I think it's a bit bulky for my eyes to look at. The D2 sets up so solid to the ball, it was the right choice. I am averaging in the 275-290 area and thats with little roll here in Nebraska.

3) Finally if your swinging 122 you need to get rid of that stiff shaft like its diseased. I hope you didnt get fitted for that. Get an X Flex you will love the results.

Go to shaft specs here on Titleist to check out the New Diamana Series by Mitsubishi.

Hope this helps you out.
