Stock Sasquatch Shaft (Diamana?) vs. V2

Well I bought a new driver as I didn't hit my R5 as well as I would like. I went from a 10.5* R5 with stiff ProLaunch Blue to a 9.5 Sasquatch with stiff shaft. I wanted to lower my ball flight a little, that's why I went to a lower loft. Now my launch angle is close to 10* compared to 16* for my old driver. I hit this driver straight buy want to raise my launch angle to around 14*. Heard a lot of good things about the V2. How do these two shafts compare? Any other shaft recommendations? SS is between 100-104 mph.

The v2 is a great shaft, but it wont raise your launch....I would try the graf blue pro launch, or ys 6

the stock shaft on the sq isnt bad, but it doesnt play like the real diamana IMO, i switched to a prolaunch blue to higher my ball flight with the 8.5

0 dollars and 0 cents.......haha....I'm a rep man!! but I got some for people who work for courses and such, and I got the driver with the diamana shaft installed for 230 total, and the fairway wood with the shaft already in it for like 170 or something like that

Are you and aggressive or smooth swinger?

Is your tempo more on the quicker side or smooth side?

Do you know what you spin was at the 10* LA?

This will help me to give you a better answer on what shaft will work best for you.

Pretty aggressive swinger. Tempo is on the quicker side. No idea about spin. The launch moniter i played on didn't give this info.

I am going to recommend
AccuFLEX Evolution Lite
UST Proforce V2 65
Aldila VS Proto By You

All are stable shafts to handle your swing but smooth enough to get your Launch up.

I would say that the ProLaunch will probably be alittle to soft and possibly give you alittle to much spin.

The Aldila isn't as high priced as you think. Not trying to sell you just want you to know that you can shop around to find a good price.

UST V2 is going to be the softest with a very fluid feel when swinging. It will offer not only a higher flight but more spin. This is going to definitely change the characteristics of your club since the insertion depth is right at 1.5" with a BBGM on the SQ coming out to alittle over 1.5 as well.

The VS Proto 60 is going to be alittle more stable and give you a higher flight with a fluid feel but its going to offer a slightly quicker return for less spin then the UST V2. I would say its the slightly stiffer version but offering the same playing characteristics.

The Axis is a different animal as its stronger with less spin and weighted alot more. This will give you a lower flight then what you are currently playing.
