Shaft help to increase spin

[BuckeyeBax]

I bought a used ping 430 10k max 9 degree with kaili white 60x shaft. 
 

I’m averaging 270 carry. 103 club speed. 154 ball speed. 1800 spin. 
 

My buddy said I need to get my spin up to 2400-2600. 
 

first pic is demo club it’s stock ping cb shaft (maybe 50 gram?)

 

second two are with the used ping with kaili white shaft. I was getting a little tired after all the swings. 
 

any shaft recommendations to achieve that?

Something seems off here. 17* of dynamic loft and you need more spin? Do you know where your impact location is on the face?

We didn’t look. Probably a little toey if I had to guess. Typical miss is in the heel though.

too increase spin that much you need more loft, shaft wont do it.

Damn. So I should have gone with a 10.5? I can just adjust the loft right

Yeah but if you do that is your dynamic loft gonna increase?

Not sure what ball you were hitting, but a ball change to something with more spin may help. 
 

It seems like you can tweak what you already have and not need another head or shaft, just dial in everything to be optimized 

 

Howards DIY Driver Tune up can get you there

Ok a shaft change isnt going to give you 1000 revs. You need to either loft up or look at strike location. There is a good chance you are hitting high on the face which would give you some high launch low spinners. I suggest tee it maybe 1/4- 1/2 lower and see what you get first.

I agree with this. Lower the tee and see if bringing strike location down does the trick. High and high toe strikes are going to spin less.

I’d get some impact stickers or foot powder. Find out your face impact location before you make any changes.

Sorry but you're buddy is wrong - or is too focused on one symptom of the problem and not seeing the big picture.   Some of those shots would actually loose distance if you increased the spin that much (and didn't change anything else).

 

FYI - Next time, it would help to include launch angle.

As others have said,  NO.   You already have plenty of dynamic loft, the low spin comes from impact problems - high on the face.   More loft is not the answer.

Yes,  there is an impact problem here.  Both in terms of location and more importantly consistency.   And with modern drivers you can not rely on feel alone to judge what your face impact is and what your face impact tendencies are - you need to use the foot powder spray or impact tape.

 

 

The bottom line is that your face impact is too inconsistent to really know what you might need to do to get the most distance out of your swing.   Even looking at the numbers is pointless until you get the impact location addresses and "fixed."

 

 

What you really need to do is to use this tutorial to try and improve that face impact location and consistency.   Once that's done - come back with the new numbers and we can help figure out if there are any issues with them or if you can squeeze a bit more distance out of your swing.

The kaili shaft is not a good fit fit for you. The shaft in the first pic is pretty good for you. I’d sell the Kaili and buy a used Alta shaft.
