I personally have those same stats and desires and I play the 913 D2 with a Fujikura Motore F3 stiff. I like this shaft because the ball flight feels tight while also feeling like there is enough flex in the shaft.

Thanks for the Information!

Mitsubishi Diamana Whiteboard a'hina X is the best shaft I've ever had in a club. What is the 78, though, MPH? If so, that seems low for x flex...

Yeah I've realized that it is low. The distance is 'real time' course averages. I have the feeling the machine I was hooked up to was not as accurate. Thanks for the suggestion!

Justin; As always, be sure to see a Titleist fitter before you buy your driver. They can tell you exactly which shaft you need.  Also, a fitter can check your swing speed since I think your mistaken about the swing speed that you think you have. If your driver distance is 275-295 your SP will be well over 100mph. Probably about 120mph. I'm an old gezzer and my SP is 83-85mph, and I drive the ball 200-210. (maybe a 220 now and then with a stiff wind behind me, and a downhill fairway LOL)

Hey thanks for the information! I agree I SHOULD be fitted. Only downfall is I do not trust the fitter at golf course and nearest fitter I am comfortable with is 2 hours away and do not have time to make that trip to get fitted. Regarding the swing speed. The distance is averages at the course that I did the math and averaged out after a couple of rounds, after reading a couple posts I am beginning to believe the machine I was hooked up too is not as accurate as I believed. Thanks for the suggestion and information!

Hi Justin,

Your distance seems pretty long for a 78 mph swing speed so I think your numbers might be a little off.  Regardless, with a swing speed around 78 mph you should really look at getting a shaft that has more flex.  You will greatly benefit from it and most likely get a better feel and a higher ball flight.  You will probably get the same answer from a lot of people on this site saying that "you should get fitted for the right shaft for you", which I agree with, but if you get a chance to demo some D2s, try a couple of shafts that have more flex, maybe the Diamana S+ Blue 62 S.

Okay I have been seeing a lot of comments about the 78 mph swing speed. Looks like machine that I was hooked up too is not as accurate as I thought. My average distance of 285-ish is 'real time' course averages. So take the 78 mph swing speed out of the description. I agree, I should be fitted, only downfall is I am in a slight time crunch and do not trust shop pro's at my golf course, (few bad reviews from friends). The nearest fitter that I am comfortable going to is 2 hours away, and no close demo days coming in near future. Thanks for the recommendations and comment!
