Hi,

First of all a little about my swing... I play off 11 and have a fairly smooth swing, more aggressive with the driver.... I don't know the club head speed when hitting Irons but with my old driver it is 112 to 115 when I was trying to hit a big one. My current irons are Titleist 690cb with s300 shafts, I hit these with a fairly straight ball flight but my bad shots start right and fade further right, pretty sure something goes wrong with the timing in my swing, anyway, these are getting quite old now and I like them but have started to feel like I may be missing out on some distance etc. I started using a Benross Quad speed driver which I liked, had an Aldila Voodoo rip launch shaft, this shaft snapped at the hosel so I am now looking for a new driver, I found it nearly impossible to hit a draw with this club but hit a consistent fade, again the bad shots started right and went further right.... I am currently using my driver from about 5 years ago which is a Hogan C.S3 neutral with the green Aldila NV-h 70-S shaft, with this club it can go both ways in the air and I don't feel like I have much control.... it also flies higher than I would like but has more loft at 10.5.

I have read up on shafts but am now more confused than I was before, I am not sure what driver to get or what shaft I should have in it, any advice would be very much appreciated as I have been unable to make a decision for over 3 weeks now. My folks are going to the US in August so was thinking of getting them to pick me up some irons also whilst they are there, are they still a lot cheaper to buy over there? thanks again

I guess my main question is which shaft would you advise I try?.... Also, I had an email about Krank drivers, has anybody tried one of these?

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
