I recently purchased a Tour Edge XLD (Xtra Long Distance) 10.5 deg. 460CC Mega MOI Exotic driver that is fairly forgiving and easy to hit contact wise. The shaft is a Graphite Design S-Flex (Standard-Flex) Weight: 52 Grams, Torque: 4.5, Launch: Mid. Golf Pride Grip came standard with the driver. Comparing that to my Acuity Turbo Max 3-Wood, the 3 wood is much easier to shape in transition from back to downswing based on the shaft being a low torque shaft and having a smaller head. On a slightly heavier 55 gram shaft with the Tour Edge XCG head that my boss has, the head felt weightless compared to the shaft, which is a strong flex or less flex shaft, and was fairly easy to hit as well, but the 53 gram standard worked best for me and led me to my decision.

The diamana white, blue, and redboard shafts have some buzz.

For irons the Rifle Project X shafts are on fire . They're so good, and they look so awesome. I know a lot of people who are having those put in their irons and loving them.

...The shaft is a Graphite Design S-Flex (Standard-Flex)...

Actually that stands for Stiff Flex, not Standard

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.

      Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings.

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.

      There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:
