Is it just me

This is a player issue, not a driver issue. You need to work on your technique. The other possibility is that you are using a shaft that is totally wrong for you, which is not very likely for a 1 marker.

i broke my driver 2 days before a tournament and they dont make my shaft anymore. i hasvent had the money to get fitted again. iv been hitting 4 wood because i hit it as far as most people hit their drivers so it has actually helped my score because my 4 wood is so much more accurate. i just played with my friend who is a pro and he couldnt find a problem with my swing and we compared it with the swing from my other driver and it was almost identicle so its not a swing issue considering im hitting 66% of greens this year

You're obviously too good for the drivers they make nowadays. They only make drivers for people who can hit their 3 wood as far as most players and up to a 50% GIR max.

or instead of being sarcastic you could try to help... maybe you have some idea why a new driver wouldnt go as far as an old driver, if your so smart. the worst part about this is that if i was an 18 hcp people would be trying to help me figure out a weight set up to get the ball lower but because im a 1.2 people assume i should know this kind of stuff when i just bought the r9 yesterday\

I'll take a stab at your questions. I can't specifically address the TM R9 driver, but what I've noticed is that most driver heads weigh for 190-196 grams and will do well with a 65 gr shaft. "Tour" model heads seem to be a little heavier, 198-205 grams and will usually be on 70 and 80 gram shafts, but you can get away with a 65 gr shaft.

Actually, it's not sarcasm, he's absolutely right. Modern drivers (especially TaylorMade) are made for the average hacker, they have way too much spin, and way too much shaft flex, and the loft is always much higher than it says on the head. The face roll is measured low on the driver, so a 9.5° driver is more like an 11° driver. The heads are weighted low and rearward, which pops the ball into the air. If the shaft you have in your driver is the stock one, expect to hit it high and crooked, because that's what stock shafts do, they aren't nearly stiff enough for many better players, but because too many people have egos, they insist on buying the stiff shaft. So manufacturers put on a weaker shaft and call it stiff.

thank you. so do you think i should sell my ft-9 tour i-mix with its shaft and my r9 and just get something older that came out before the days of lying companies

Hard to say, but there are drivers made to good specs still, they just require some tweaking. Really, pretty much all drivers fudge the numbers. The key is to take control and build one custom to your specs.

how much do you think that will cost me?

First, i dig teh 4 wood thing, that was hilarious!

the ball is launching about5 or 6 degrees to high and his hitting and coming back in the fairways. i was thinking yesterday and when i used to have a 73g shaft i got alot less kick and alot more distance. could the shaft weight have anything to do with it because i was thinking of putting the 95g v2 shaft in it

i can absolutely murder my 4 wood. i had 270 out on a flat par 5 yesterday and i hit the green like i can smoke that club and i hit my driver about the same. i actually went driver, driver on a par 5 yesterday.

Probably cost less than a new R9 or FT; and I bet you would be much happier with it also.
