I am considering replacing my 2013 9.5 degree stiff shaft Cobra Ampcell S driver. I think my swing speed of mid 90's might benefit from a softer shaft and more loft. I do not want to spend a lot on a new club or even a top end used club like Ping G430. I know the right answer is get on a launch monitor and see what works for me. But, being in South Africa, there is a miniscule used club market and all I can find will have to be mailed from another town.

I would be grateful for views on the following options that are cheap and I like the look of: Ping Rapture V2 10.5 degrees regular TFC 939 shaft, Ping Anser 9.5 degrees regular and Ping G20 10.5 degrees Alta 55g regular.

Ah, you like Ping, huh?

The G20 was a great driver. 
I don't know anything about the used market in South Africa. But The G20 can be had really reasonably out here and there seem to be a lot of them available. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

The G15 was not negotiable, the Answer was soft regular (not stiff regular) and had 2 inches broken off the tip and reglued into the hosel.

So I ended up with the Rapture V2. I could not be happier. The regular shaft TFC 939 looks and feels so whippy compared to my old driver, but it works. I can feel the club head a little more. The whole club is 30 grams lighter and I have gained 2 mph more speed and lost my fade/slice.
