what driver shafts are in the fitting matrix

If you’ve ever wondered “what shafts do you actually have to test?” this will give you a proper look behind the scenes.

At Plymouth Golf Coaching, the driver fitting matrix isn’t just a handful of stock options. It’s a fully built-out system with 120+ shafts, designed to cover every type of golfer, swing speed, and delivery pattern.

This means when you come in for a fitting, we’re not guessing. We’re matching the shaft to your swing using real data.

Why do I Carry So Many Shafts

The biggest misconception in golf fitting is that one shaft fits a “type” of golfer.

In reality, the right shaft depends on:

  • Clubhead speed

  • Transition and tempo

  • Release pattern

  • Strike location

  • Desired ball flight

Two golfers with the same swing speed can need completely different shafts.

That’s why we’ve built a matrix that covers:

  • Lightweight speed-enhancing options

  • Mid-weight, versatile profiles

  • Low spin, tour-level shafts

Lightweight & High Launch Shafts

These are designed to help golfers create speed more easily and launch the ball higher with less effort.

You’ll find options such as:

  • UST Helium (40g – Ladies)

  • XXIO MP1400 (36g / 39g)

  • Ping Alta Quick (35g / 45g)

  • Aldila Ascent (40g range)

  • Fujikura Atmos Red (Ladies)

  • Miyazaki Red series (40g options)

These are ideal for:

  • Seniors

  • Juniors

  • Golfers with smoother tempos

  • Players struggling to get the ball airborne

Mid Launch & Versatile Shafts

This is where most golfers will find their best fit.

These shafts offer a balance of feel, launch, spin, and stability, and they make up a large part of the matrix.

  • Kai’li Blue (60g – R / S / X)

  • Tensei 1K Blue (55g / 65g / 75g)

What This Means for Your Fitting

When you come in for a driver fitting, you’re not limited to a small selection.

You have access to:

  • 120+ shaft options

  • Multiple weights and flexes
