Ive never been able to hit my driver consistently the r7 quad.  However I recently got a 909 f2 fairway with the voodoo shaft which I find perfect for me I believe its 70 odd grams.  Ive always prefered lighter shafts in my driver to get more swing speed so recently put in a 55g nvs which is now ballooning but i still like the weight however now ive got an out to in swing i believe because its a driver and i always "try" to hit it far rather than let the club do the work.  Im now thinking of going for a heavier shaft like 70g as well to maybe give me more control and keep me in sync well that help?

the NVS has the same "body flex" as the NV but the tip is much softer which causes you're ballooning.  try a lighter weight stiff tip shaft like the NV 55g.

my swingspeed is 105+ and i still use stiff flex shafts, i just trim the tip to fit my "feel".

Something to share about shafts. My SS is about 102 +. over the years , I have used PF V2 65g R ( tipped 1 inch ) on a 905T in 2007 PF V2 57g S on a Snakes Eyes Viper Tour in late 2009 , I try to get more speed by getting a lighter shaft , did gain about 5 to 10 yards . Then this Feb , I got fitted a 910D2 with Mitsubishi Rayon Kai'li 70 gram Stiff . I hit furthest among 3 of my drivers. Easily 10 % more than my 905 T . In April , I got the 910F 15deg with Mitsubishi Rayon Kai'li 80 gram stiff to get the same feel of my driver and I m hitting average 240 -250 y average from the tee. Best is to go to try out the shafts with different weight , and get the best one for you . One thing that I notice , the lighter the shaft , the tip seems to be less stable. Even form the same brand and stiffness , just like the PF V2 s that i have .
