I used to slice everything and i took some lessons on swing mechanics and now i am hooking everything. I have stiff shaft irons and hit those great. But I just cant hit my driver! My driver is a 12.5 degree draw driver. I need help. will a stiff shaft regular driver do the trick? My swing speed is about 95-100

You may want to wait for your new swing mechanics to stabilize before you buy a new shaft or driver, but it does sound like you should at least try one.

I was in the same boat a while ago with only a slightly higher SS (98-106) and the stiff shaft driver worked wonders for me.

When I was about to fork over some cash I went to the nearest Golfsmith on a quiet afternoon, went on their launch monitor and tried out various drivers and shafts to make sure I did not waste my money on a shaft while my swing was the real problem. You should do the same.

I ended up buying mine on the internet, because the price was so much better. Since it was such a quiet day, the sales people didn't care much that I used the monitor for a full hour.

no its not a womens club that i am aware of. it is a clone golf club from giga golf. gx2 draw (it is supposed to be like the FT I draw from callaway) I hit it clean but it just hooks. I bought the draw club to stop my slice originally, but now that my slice is gone im in this boat.

They do make high loft men's drivers ya know

. I occasionally game a 13* Nike Sumo when I'm struggling off the tee (with a 44" X shaft) which is way easier to control. I may give up a few yards but I'll take the consistency any day of the week.
