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.

    • Played 9 yesterday at Cape Ann in Essex, MA. Played awful with maybe 4 really good shots but the course is so beautiful being right on the water it's hard to be to upset. I haven't practiced in forever so I'll need to get going on that.  Been better getting to the gym since I've been out here in NH. I came out from Minnesota for my well being so I figured I should be working on just that. Still hovering around 226 which surprises me as my sister in law feeds me quite well. Excited to be back east for the Celtics coronation. Go Celts!!!
