I'm currently hitting the burner with the stock R flex Fuji Reax 65g shaft. My swing speed is in the low 90's on average.

Would you guys recommend something for around 60-70 dollars that would benefit me. I'm thinking I need at least an S flex. For some reason I feel so far away from the ball, and I truly believe this club is amplifying the amount of time it takes me to release the club head across the ball.

Low 90's is borderline between a stiff and regular shaft (unless you load the shaft very hard). Keep in mind that stiff, regular, x-flex are not the same across different manufacturers. Might want to look at the kick point, weight etc to determine what fits you better. For instance I play a stiff flex in a tip soft low kickpoint Speeder shaft but a regular flex 65G Proforce V2 shaft feels super boardy to me. I also swing low 90 mph with the driver. Are you looking for a higher or lower ball flight, less spin etc?

I've personally had good luck with the 569 Speeder (stiff), Aldila DVS (regular), Matrix X-con 5 (regular), Prolaunch Blue (regular) and Yellowboard in the 5900 Nike.

You are too far away, with that club your at least 46" away. I would suggest going with 44" or 45" when you get fitted for your new shaft.

    • I enjoyed the A-B-C-D scramble we did at Kittyhawk before it shut down. Yes. The point was to meet the other members and get the season kicked off. Nobody took it too seriously. At least with that group, cheating wasn't a big issue.  As the D part of A-B-C-D, I enjoyed getting to play with one of the Association's top players. One year I played with the city champ. Man could he hit a ball.  It probably isn't something I'd want to do more than once a year, but it has its place.

    • This year the 2 person scramble at Garland was flighted after 36 holes.  The final 18 holes determined the winner.  This was more fair since most people really wouldn't know what flight they would be in.
