What do you guys think about the two different stock shafts that ping offers with the G20? Some fitters that have casually watched me swing and suggested a regular while some others suggested a stiff flex, but I feel regular is best for me. My swing speed is around 95-100 and my carry is about 220-230. I typically launch the ball high and plan to get a 9.5* for loft. What do you guys think would be the best shaft for my game? How do weight and torque affect things? The table below is from the ping website.

SHAFT FLEX TORQUE WEIGHT LAUNCH ANGLE
TFC 169D Ladies 6.3° 45g High
Soft Regular 5.2° 51g Mid High
Regular 5.2° 52g Mid High
Stiff 4.9° 58g Mid
X-Stiff 4.1° 62g Low
TFC 169D TOUR Regular 4.6° 59g Mid
Stiff 3.9° 63g Low Mid
X-Stiff 3.7° 67g Low

The TFC 169D will tend to launch higher with a little more spin than the Tour one.  Will also feel like it's softer, more "play" in the shaft.

I don't have the PING G20 Driver, but I have the G20 4-wood & 7-wood with Regular Flex TFC 169F Graphite Shafts and both clubs work well for me. My swing speed is a little bit slower than you dewade247, (90-95) but I also wanted higher ball flight in order for shots to land softer. I hit the 4-wood ≈ 180~200 yd. & the 7-wood ≈ 165~175 yd. Anything farther than that and I'm probably gonna hit two shots (couple of smooth 9-irons)... or the 4W or 7W & the 51° wedge to pitch on.
