So I am going to get a Titleist 913 D2 for Christmas but unfortunately don't have the ability to get somewhere reliable to try all the shaft variations.  For the last couple of years I have used a 909 D Comp (9.5) with the made for Titleist Matrix Ozik X Con 5 (stiff) and it has provided a really good ball flight and distance.  So what I am hoping for from you guys is to get an idea of which shaft for the 913 would provide the most similar characteristics to the set-up I have now.  I believe what I have now would probably be considered mid to high launch and spin wouldn't it?

Also, a couple of months ago I hit my buddy's Ping I15 (9.5) with the Ping TFC 700d shaft (stiff) which provided really good launch (12-14) and spin numbers (around 3,000) for me. I have no idea how this head and shaft are considered on the launch/spin chart but something similar to this would be good as well.

I appreciate the information and help.

Sounds like you need the standard stock shaft.  Diamana S+ Blue 62 Stiff.

Thanks rocker.  What would this set up be characterized as on the spin/launch chart?

[rocker40]

All the charts say mid launch but it seems like a mid-high launch and spin shaft.

Phenom, best shaft without a doubt, get the 70g model and thank me later lol

[Redman]

Stetson, you feel like that's the right one given what has worked for me recently?

[Jado]

Get the S+ 62, if you don't like it sell it & buy a Phenom as they're usually cheaper than the S+

[Redman]

What is the difference between the S and D shafts?

[pdaero]

S is the new Blueboard, D is the new Whiteboard. D+ launched too low for me, and was amazed with the Phenom (60 AND 70). Between the S+ and D+ in launch and spin, and fantastically smooth.

Spot on. Was going to write exactly that.

How do the Ping I15 and 913 heads compare?  The I15 is considered low launch and spin correct?

[Stetson]

The 913 is a touch more spin, but is "hotter" across a larger area (more forgiving).  I'd say the D+ is too stiff based on your past, the S+ and Phenom are both very smooth.  I felt the Phenom had better kick and felt more stable.  If you want a Diamana for the sake of having one then by all means do that, but I think across all the boards the reviews for the Phenom have been fantastic. I actually found the Phenom better then my AD-DI and got rid of the DI.  I suggested the Phenom because the S+ scares me, didn't feel stable enough when I need to swing a little harder

[Redman]

Thanks all for the great information guys....very helpful as always.  The Phenom and the S+ appear quite different with the Phenom being much lower spin and launch than the S+.  Is the 909 DComp head I have now a higher spin/launch head than the 913?  How does the Ozik X Con 5 shaft compare to the Phenom and S+?

[Stetson]

The Phenom might be lower launch and spin but it is not a low launch/low spin shaft.  I believe the 913 is lower spin but not sure if it is different launch
