What type of shaft for a Callaway BB 454??

pnuts · #1 (**permalink**) 07-01-2005, 06:01 AM

I see that there are quite a few shafts available for the Callaway 454. I have a swing speed of 115, and a ball speed of around 135. I am 6 foot tall and weight about 190. Any suggestions??

Thanks

Go with the Aldila NV - it's a great shaft. Weight is up to you, but the 65 seems to be the shaft of choice for a lot of players.

I would suggest the 'X' flex, if you're swinging at 115 consistently. The 'S' flex might be a little more forgiving, and provide more distance if you tend to ease off most drives.

You seem to be very similar to my build and swing speeds. The Green Monster is good (Aldila NV) but I think I have found a shaft that is almost as good for much less - the Harrison Striper (blue and Yellow). I order mine in freq'd at 265 raw and only have to butt trim to length. My 3 wood is going about 270 yards and my driver is consistantly over 300 yards.
