I used to slice everything and i took some lessons on swing mechanics and now i am hooking everything. I have stiff shaft irons and hit those great. But I just cant hit my driver! My driver is a 12.5 degree draw driver. I need help. will a stiff shaft regular driver do the trick? My swing speed is about 95-100

You may want to wait for your new swing mechanics to stabilize before you buy a new shaft or driver, but it does sound like you should at least try one.

I was in the same boat a while ago with only a slightly higher SS (98-106) and the stiff shaft driver worked wonders for me.

When I was about to fork over some cash I went to the nearest Golfsmith on a quiet afternoon, went on their launch monitor and tried out various drivers and shafts to make sure I did not waste my money on a shaft while my swing was the real problem. You should do the same.

I ended up buying mine on the internet, because the price was so much better. Since it was such a quiet day, the sales people didn't care much that I used the monitor for a full hour.

are you sure its not a womans club? Im really not trying to be a jerk. but thats the only place I saw a 12.5 degree driver. Is it that you are hitting the ball clean or are you chunking

no its not a womens club that i am aware of. it is a clone golf club from giga golf. gx2 draw (it is supposed to be like the FT I draw from callaway) I hit it clean but it just hooks. I bought the draw club to stop my slice originally, but now that my slice is gone im in this boat.

They do make high loft men's drivers ya know

. I occasionally game a 13* Nike Sumo when I'm struggling off the tee (with a 44" X shaft) which is way easier to control. I may give up a few yards but I'll take the consistency any day of the week.

    • Day 87 (27 Jul 25) - Made it an easy session with the wedge this afternoon, worked on staying in the shot and not lifting out - split between low spinners and higher floaters.  
    • Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day. 
    • Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine. 
    • Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣
    • Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
