UST Proforce 65 Gold graphite shaft
Lim Lok Chiang
sent my Rainbow driver to be reshafted with it. 44.5", swingweight of about
C8/9. Driver head is 11 degree titanium and I'm not a hard hitter. Any
opinions welcome, thanks.

There are many fine shafts, the real chore is finding one that is well
suited to YOUR swing. The Proforce 65 is a fine shaft and is well liked by
many. It's relatively low torque, mid/high bend point, and relatively tip
stiff. You mention not being a big hitter. If your swing speed is say 90+,
and if you don't have trouble with a trajectory that is already too low, the
R flex version should be fine. It's really not the best choice for someone
with slower swing speeds looking for increased height and more of a "kick"
feel. Only trial and error or a good clubfitter could really tell you if
this is a good shaft for you. It is a quality shaft, however.

currently use the 65 with a tipped stiff shaft. I had the x-stiff 75 at
first, but decided to change it out. You will be very happy with this pro
line quality shaft...

You don't mention what flex.........FWIW you should note that C8/9 is a tad
on the light side, especially with a stiff shaft, and you may be
disappointed with the 'feel'. The 65 gram shaft, coupled with the titanium
head, will result in a club with quite a light overall weight.......which
will take some getting used to. I used a stiff Proforce 65 with a GBB head
at D0...and I really could not hit the ball very well at all, because of the
ultra light weight and resultant lack of 'feel'. I just could not 'feel' the
clubhead at all in the swing.

your swing speed is, but I just bought a Dynacraft DirectLine 9 deg wiht
the 75. 44 inches, regular flex. I can handle a stiff, but since the
shaft will be shorter then 45'', it'll play STIFFER then the indicated
flex. (btw, my driver ss is probably around 103 mph. 5I is anywhere
between 88-95, moderate tempo). You can use this as a guideline. If
you want more info on shafts, you can go to www.dynacraftgolf.com,
there's a shaft fitting addendum available online. I read it before I
talked to my clubmaker about which shafts I wanted. Hope this helps
Good luck

i've got the proforce 65 in a 10 degree 330cc titanium head. my theory
on driver shafts is to first start as long as possible. if you can't
hit it, trim a 1/2" or 1" off and then see if you can hit it. keep
trimming until you can hit it. i stuck the shaft in and didn't butt or
tip trim it. i can hit it pretty well at 47". with a slower swing
speed, a lighter but longer driver will give you more distance. the
only question is whether or not you can control it. the proforce is a
good shaft. the specs are better than the grafalloy shafts and the
proforce shafts are cheaper. the only problem that you may encounter
with the shaft is that it has a mid to high kick point which will make
the shaft seem stiffer and deader (is that a word?) and possibly hit the
ball lower.

I hit the ProForce Gold 75--stiff flex 44" a few times. I found it really
stiff, though it hit a nice low trajectory, even when I tried to hit it high.
My driver swing speed, when I'm on balance is 115 mph.
I understand that the lighter Proforce Gold 65 might have been a little easier
to swing.
