I recently purchased a new Nike Dymo 9.5 stiff flex driver and I like it a lot. I upgrade from an old Taylormade r580 xd with a stiff grafalloy blue shaft. I hit the nike dymo straighter, but I definitely hit the old Taylormade 580 farther by a good 10-20yds on average. I was wondering if this was due to a lower quality shaft in the Nike dymo? I was also hoping I could get some shaft recommendations with the intention of gaining some additional distance.

I dropped the Adila NVS 65 x-stiff in mine. Made a big difference. Stock shaft just didn't work for me.

Thanks very much for the reply and advice! did you find you hit more/less fairways after the reshaft? I like the straightness I currently get out of it, but its def lacking in distance compared to my other quality shafted driver.

I dont know if I could handle yelling "BOOOOM" or "BAMMMMMM" after every shot though :P

To The Dude: I think for it to work properly, the correct yell is "POW!"

I doubt that it has anything to do with the quality of the shaft-new shaft is probably stiffer, so less dispersion, but with less distance. I'd take accuracy over distance, the distance with the club will always build over time.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
