  2. Cool thanks pretzel. I have definitely learned more about the marketing and mark-up side of golf retail.
  3. WUtiger thank you for the response and the research. I get what you are saying. I suppose I felt like if I was going for as much distance and consistency as possible, I was doing it by handcuffing myself by using a shaft that was designed for a heavier club head. The club is a used demo from eBay that's was given to me as a gift, so I never really looked into its specs. But I was a huge upgrade for me at the time. Although, I have been wanting to upgrade my driver, and shaft change seemed like a really affordable change that could possibly unlock another 20 yards or so? I realize I sound a little greedy, but use it before you lose it right? I definitely won't be able to hack like this forever! But if a shaft change won't make any difference, I can definitely find a better way to spend $50. Like getting some of those Kirkland golf balls when they come back. Again, thank you for looking into this and hearing me out. I definitely didn't realize the shafts were universal.
  4. Hello all. This is not a google type question, so I'm putting it out there for the humans. I have recently discovered I have been swinging a wood shaft on my driver for the last 10+ years. Yes 10+... Anyways, I'm a big swinger with my drives between 270 and 300 yds. 115+ mph swing speed according to my local golf shop (with my driver). The driver is a Taylormade R7 with an Aldila NV 65 s shaft (stiff). I'm also left handed, hence nobody ever told me I was swinging a wood shaft because I only play with you right handed folk. I now know that a stiff wood shaft is stiffer than a stiff driver shaft, so what type of flex and weight should I get if I want to replace my current shaft? I still want to take the big cuts that I have grown accustomed to, since it is the strongest part of my game (I have a strong scramble presence I need to keep up). I'm thinking extra stiff will still feel looser than my current shaft? I have since picked up and dabbled with a lefty driver with a stiff driver shaft and it felt like my wife's 8 iron (no offense intended). But do I just need to get used to this? Or go extra stiff? Thank you for reading this far. Any input is greatly appreciated.
