I want to make sure I understand what the "profile" on a shaft means. Look at the profile of this shaft.

When it says it has a "hi" profile, does that mean it has a high trajectory?

Also, I'm buying a 15* Snake Eyes utility wood.

This club head says it has a high trajectory as well. Does that mean I would want a shaft with a low trajectory (if in fact that is what "profile" means)?

I guess my indecision is based on how the trajectory will affect distance. I want to be able to reach a green from 220 to 240. Will the "high trajectory" reduce this distance? Also, I don't necessarily want a low trajectory if that will make the ball "run" 30 yds after impact.

I use a 10.5* driver, and I would say I hit a normal trajectory for 10.5*.

I know I'm giving "ballpark" descriptions, but I'll be satisfied with input based on that.

Thanks in advance for input.

Profile in this case does mean ball trajectory. HI = High ball trajectory. It's really up to you as to what kind of ball flight you want. Usually a high trajectory ball will fly further than a low trajectory ball but will run less. Most utility woods launch the ball high anyways. I have an NV shaft in my utility wood which is considered low launch. If I need something to go high and hold green, I try to hit a high fade. If I want a runner, I hit a hook or a draw.

It looks to me like a low bend point shaft with a high torque. Meaning it will launch the ball high and help hit a draw. The distance thing will depend on how fast you swing. The is a line where more carry means more distance but too much carry means ballooning and lost of distance.
