I am a 48 year old 7 handicap that hits the ball fairly far for my age. My swing is described as hard transition with a mid release. I bought this as a fairway wood shaft and after tipping 1", it is PERFECT! Great launch angle for me in a Taylormade Sim 2 15* 3 wood. But the spin is not out of control. Shaft can handle really going after it. My 3 wood clubhead speed is 109 to 113 mph. Great for aggressive swings that want to hit the ball a touch higher.
