Best Driver/Shaft Combo for Swing Spd

[enis750]

ok guys/gals

let me give you some background on my game, b/f i tell you whats up

-been golfing since i was 13 - now 29
-my first year and 2 years after I was junior club champ @ my homecourse
-was a 2 hndcp all thoughout Junior & H/S
-all self taught, no lessons, baseball grip - i have been told i have a very smooth, natural swing - whataver that means!!! haha
-game was wicked, but life happened an I put the sticks down for about 2 years
-picked em up again about 5 years ago
-last year didnt golf one round, as we had a baby - justy couldnt find the time
-this year i want to get back into things quite seriously

i am only playing to aabout a 9-10 hndcp or so...which is tough for me b/c i am used to playing WAY better than this - just need to unleash the skills somehow

ok...now here is my deal

i can not find the proper driver/shaft combo
last year i played, i was hitting the Titleist 905T 9.5* w a regular YS-6 shaft
-i hit it quite well, BUT BERY high...like to the moon high
-i recently switched to the D1 w a Graffaloy Blue 9.5* Stiff shaft...couldnt hit the broad side of a barn w this thing. The face felt open all the time and as a result, I was blocking the ball all the time
-i recently ordered up the D2 9.5* w the Diamana Blue Stiff
-havent hit it yet, but after reading the reviews on this site, it seems like the better club for me
-i like to be able to shape a few shots, and the D1 just didnt let me do that

anyone else have similar issues or like their D2?
i have always a hit Titleist Drivers and love them, but the D1 through me for a loop

oh yeah...my swing speed varies between 99-104MPH, according to the simulator at Golf Town

any ideas???? Thx!

I was custom fitted to a 909 d2 driver and found the diamana blue and mitsubishi rayon shaft to hit it lower, the d2 head also let me work the ball!

If your hittign the ball high, you shoudl go with the D2. I would also suggest goign with a stiff shaft instead of regular. With a swing speed liek that, plus the caliber player you used to be, stiff is the way to go. The 909 is a beautiful set, but the D1 does allow for more workability with the driver. the D3 is for golfers who hit the ball to low.

you guys are wicked
that is what i was thinking, but it's tough as i have been out of the element as far as equipment goes

i know i sound like Brian from Big Break PEI! haha!
But i do have the skills and know what to do to get my game back......just need the time and practice to get back into it, which is tough in my career...but not impossible

sure is tough golfing in the low 80's when I KNOW i can golf in the mid to low 70's

thanks again guys, much appreciated

will let you know how the D2 works out

I play a D2 primarily because it is workable, but also plenty long with a good ball flight for my swing. I use a tour X high kick shaft and 8.5 loft because height is not a problem, and I want accuracy. The D2 looks right to the eye, sounds more like what I am used to hearing, and it is very easy to work the ball either way. There may be longer combinations of head and shaft, but this fits. When you find something that fits you, learn its behavior well and settle in with it. (I had a 905, then 907, then 909, but have gone back to the 907 D2 as the personal favorite -- but really its the shaft that makes these clubs what they are.)

ok, heres tossin a loop into everything
i had my swing speed checked again at NEvada Bob's (buddy is a MGR there)

i DID NOT hit a shot under 112mph, varying up to 116mph
also it wasnt like 3 balls, about 1/2 hour of hitting shots
ball speed was average 157mph, flight angle was 13.5-14.2

how does this change things?

that seems like a tonne of speed, doesnt it?
