    What should I expect from going to a senior shaft.it is virtually impossible to find a pro shop or store that has Titleist clubs with senior shafts to demo. My thought is try another brand, I can find png, and determine if I like the feel of the shaft , and then make purchase. I need to find a way to get the 20 yards I have lost in my driver.

    Hi Rob,  If you let us know where you are located, we can find a shop that will have senior shafts so that you can try them in the 915 heads.

    Rob,

    It looks like Montclair Golf Club in West Orange would be the closet Advanced Fitting account to you. I already contacted them to make sure they have received all their 915 fitting components. You can ask to speak to Mike, Joe or Brian when you call to schedule your fitting. Their phone number is # 973-239-0160

    I hope this helps,

    Will

    Hi Leo,  Spoke with our rep in your area, and he suggested contacting Kevin Edwards over at Woodstone or Rick Kline over at Sittler Golf Center.  Kevin will have his fitting tools around the 24th, but give him a call to reserve and to make sure he will have the shafts that you are looking for.  His number is:  610.437.7451.  Rick, over at Sittler Golf Center, is in Kutztown and will also have his fitting tools around the 24th - 610.683.7232.  Talk to them about their senior shaft selection and if they do not have what you are looking for, have them contact us here at Team Titleist and we will see what we can do to get the shafts there for your fitting.

    I've been using a senior shaft on my driver for almost 4 years now.  It is a 2K7 HT Draw (13*) loft shortened to 44.5" (with Winn Lite Dri Tac grip). I generally hit aroud 210-220 but actually hit a 260 yard drive Friday. Best ever with this particular driver was 275.

    Also have a 910H 27* with Bassara a flex.

    There are some a flex shafts that feel great and some that feel overly whippy.

    I really believe that Titleist's marketing department should focus on  senior shaft promo's. I have tried several brand clubs and find no one actualy standardizing flex on their shafts. I also find some very hippy where having any touch seems almost impossible.

    Maybe they could do a little more promo. I never considered Titleist (too expensive and for only better players). I only got serious at 59, and the best I could do was have someone put tape on the one LH A-flex iron set 6I that was on the floor. Out of frustration I tries a private club that does fittings for the public. Turns out it is WI's only Titleist AFC, and they did a great job working with me (they can do png in irons as well - but the AP1s won). As a LH, at any speed, most OEMs don't offer a full line of clubs. 2 drivers, 2 fairways, 3 hybrids, 2 iron sets at best. The rest, as they say, is history.

    Hi Rob,

    I have been fortunate and have gotten fit both times at the Manchester Lane facility in Acushnet, MA.  Not only are the fitters GREAT (Karen, Troy, Alex, all), the number of fitting combinations is mind numbing, but it doesn't take long until they have you dialed in and ready to "seriously" test out those combos.  When I was fitted a couple years back, I had a number of options for both standard senior shafts as well as up charge and I went with a standard shaft. I just got fitted for my new 915D2 and with the newer senior shafts both standard and up charge, all felt whippy and ball dispersion was all over the grid. I was eventually fitted for an up charge shaft with regular flex, and a less lofted driver loft of 10.5.  I ended up LOVING the feel (Thanks Troy) and those shots were straight out and 20-28 yards further with better ball flight (not as ballooning).  I have been fortunate and always felt that Titleist offered me a lot of options and it was up to me to decide what felt better and what had better ball flight.  I went into my last fitting 2 weeks ago with assuming that another senior flex shaft would be the one for me, but I am telling you, the new 915s with the new Active Recoil Channel gets that ball off the face much hotter and faster, so you may well be hitting a regular flex as well.  

    Good luck with your fitting and I am POSITIVE that you too will love the 915s!

    Maybe an easy fix to fitting senior shafts is someone should standardize flexability
