Whats up gentlemen,
Here's the deal, my driver now is a 10.5 with a regular shaft. I find that I am hitting the ball way too high, and hitting a big draw. My friends say that they see way too much shaft bend, and they are probably right considering i swing 110 with a driver. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on a new driver, I'm thinking TP or Tour edition of something because I prefer an open face at adress. Hoping not to spend too much dough either, im broke as hell, but drop a reply, love to hear your ideas.

If your swing speed is a fast as you say...then you need to dump the regular shaft and go with a stiff, possibly even tour stiff which is about 10 grams heavier.

Yeah if it's really 110 I have no idea why your playing a regular flex.

It is very difficult to recommend a driver to someone else. You really need to go out and hit different clubs and see what you like. Launch monitors and professional fitters are key aspects of this process. I love my driver(TM R5 TP) even though it is a few years old, I still havent found anything I hit better. It has the open face you are looking for, heavier shaft(78g), and you should be able to get a great deal on one off of ebay. I would really recommend going to get professionally fit though. If you like the head of the driver you have you may want to consider just getting the club re-shafted. Hi-Bore XL Tour with Diamana Whiteboard is a cannon, but not cheap.

    • Day 118: 4/23/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 2/24. Finished 1 mph over last session but 4 mph slower than the preceding program.
    • Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf. 
    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
