I have a Mitsubishi C6 Blue 60 R flex shaft in my Maltby 7 wood. I cannot consistently make solid contact with this head / shaft combo.
I have topped, pulled, and pushed shots within every round.
It was suggested to use heavier gram shaft, in the 70g range. I have the same shafts in my Ping 3 wood and 5 woods that I hit consistently.
Any suggestions on a better shaft match?
The C6 Blue 60 is 63.5 grams and it’s profile is on the softer side of an R flex. Not saying that is the reason for your issues, but it is a softer and overall lighter profile than our MPF Pro Series Fairway wood shaft (MP0402) or the Rapport Core Blue Fairway Wood shaft (VA0005). Odd that you would hit the Ping well with the same shaft. Nothing in the head that could cause the mishits you describe. Assuming it is the right length for you, can’t really think of a reason it would be causing the problems.
That being said, a shaft change would be about the only thing to try I suppose. The MPF Pro Series would be a little heavier at 69 grams and is a firmer profile. The Rapport is 70 grams and is also firmer, but not quite as firm as the Pro Series. They are very close in their profiles. So you might try one of those. We feature those two fairway shafts in all of our paks and get great feedback.
