Have a Driver fitting this Tuesday. Any shafts to request trying? Been out of the loop on shafts for the last couple months.

Whatever the fitter recommends as a pair with the head.

What are you looking to improve on?
No. It's not
Asking what to see is available is basically asking "what have you liked". Which is a fair question.

I know, I have been through some very thorough fittings for irons and I trust my fitter. I just haven't even looked at Driver shafts in over a year to know whats currently out there.
With my recent swing change I feel like I am launching to high right now. Something a little lower launching would be nice.

It is. There's a billion different characteristics when it comes to shafts. Someone might recommend something high launch/high spin, when in fact after one swing the fitter can see that it's not right at all.
I personally see the fitting as the point of finding the answer, if someone wants to go in an try a bunch of things and not listent to the fitter, it's a waste of the fitters time and someone the person can do on their own time at a demo day or something.
Now if the original poster has asked for something say high launch and light weight or something, then giving answers make sense. I just don't see how this helps heading into a fitting with a fitter.

The White tie that blu suggested is a little higher launching. The black tie is a lower launching option.
Dev is right. The White Tie is labeled as high launch. It isn't Pro Launch Blue high. I really like it. But if you already balloon, it may cause issues.

No problem buddy. We need to tee it up for sure!
When in Rome.
I have no issues with the OP.
What if NJ goes to his fitter and says he wants to get for a Cleveland Classic Custom? Is that a bad thing?

Yup. I read "request trying" as something completely different as you do.
It's a good shaft. I have it paired with a low launch head. And it is amazing.

and I read "going to be fitted" differently than you.
I hope Rob finds the perfect setup and in no way was saying this as anything against him and his question. I was simply hoping that he trust his fitter and he said he does, which is all I was hoping for based on my original post here.
There are a lot of options with that line. It's not back to at least ask about.
I would give the Aldila RIP Phenom and Alpha a go. They are both lower launch and both keep the spin in check plus if you like them they can be had for quite cheap. The Phenom has a much better feel and a little bit higher launch than the Alpha but its by no means too high. They are both offered in whatever weight class you prefer as well.
