I recently demo'd the 913 D2 10.5 R Driver. My swing speed is 100, ball speed 140 with launch angles of 12-14 degrees. The spin rate with the stock shaft Bassara W50 was 3600-4000. We tried the Diamana S+ Blue 62 which brought the spin rate down to 3100 but my swing speed dropped to 94-95 and carry distance dropped by about 7 yds. I love how the driver looks, sounds and feels . I was wondering if anyone has any other shaft or set-up suggestions to try... I don't want to give up on this driver as of yet.
i'm not an expert but the numbers seems pretty similar to my swing numbers. I bought 913 D2 9.5 stiff Diamana D+ White 72 standard set up and it's been amazing. i've been hitting low to mid launch with tons of rolls which i assume bc of low spin rate. I tried both Aldilas and both Diamanas and went with the above.
personally i like the heavier lower torque shaft since i feel like it gives me more stability and consistency.
I have been hunting for a new driver for months. I have been to 7 different stores and two professional fittings. In the beginning my spin rate was about 6000rpm, my swing speed is 104 and i was averaging 250. I would constantly hit down on the ball rather than sweeping it off the tee. So after about a month of lessons i went to get fit again and my spin was down to around 3100rpm with the 913d2. The fitter recommended I try the 913d3 for a lower spin rate. It worked like a charm and my spin was down to 2500rpm. I went through all the shaft options and I found the most distance and consistency with the Aldila RIP 2.9 torque 60g stiff shaft. I could not be happier with my purchase and i am well past 280yrds now. Hopes this helps.

Dino,
Try the 913 D2 9.5 next time. Loft and CG have the biggest influence on spin.
Shafts do play a part, however changing loft will have a bigger influence. If you liked the feel and speed you had with the Bassara, the 9.5 head will help drop the excessive spin.
Hope this helps!
I went from the stock Ahina stiff in a 9.5 D2 910 to the Whiteboard 62, to go as far as possible, in the 913 D2. Dropped the loft to 8.5 and picked up 12 yards of carry and 9 of roll. 21 yards is worth paying for. Thanks Roger Hatcher at Golf Tour Trailer.
You should try the Aldila Rip 60 stiff. With that club head speed you definitely need a stiff. This should bring your spin down from the bassara but it is light enough so that you won't lose much club head speed.

I would definitely agree. When I got fit my club head speed was 97mph and I was told that I should definitely be in a stiff flex. I personally have the RIP 60 on my 913.
