I've got an interesting dilemma here, any help would be appreciated:

For the longest, I was playing with a 975D, 8.5 stiff and I would hit a slight draw that would average maybe 260-270. On a whim, I found a R7 460 10.5 regular shaft that I can't draw to save my life. My question is this:

1) Do you think it could be the shaft (my swing speed is in between 92-94 mph)
or
2) Do bigger clubheads kinda encourage a fade

Look forward to any answers

Technically, I can't answer that questions but I have played the 975D and now play an R5 TP and I have no problems drawing the R5.

the shaft and the club head have a major part to do with it. You've accustomed your tempo to playing the stiff shafted driver, the regular shaft is too flimsy and will take a little longer to bring back to square.

      You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.

      Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By Elmer ·

      I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
