Stiff or X-Stiff?

[OCdude12]

I've had stiff shafts in all my clubs for awhile now, not really considering putting X-stiff shafts in any of my clubs until recently. I bought a 19 degree Sonartec Hybrid off ebay awhile back that has an X-stiff Speeder shaft in it and when I first hit it, the ball was going low and would tail off to the right most of the time. My game has been improving a lot in the last few months (3.3 index down from a 6.6 or so) and I now can hit that club any way I want usually. Still has a pretty low and penetrating ball flight, but I can get it to draw and hit it high when I need to also. I can hit it pretty much just as far as my 3 wood and is by far the most dependable club in my bag when I need to hit a straight tee ball, but this has got me to thinking, should I put an X in my Driver as well for more control? Any thoughts or similar experiences from anyone?

I always got stiff shafts because I always equated x-stiff with low handicap golfers. However, I recently found myself hooking the ball a lot more with the driver and fairway woods, so I tried an X-Stiff driver my friend had. It took care of the hooking, but the flight was a little low. However, that can be adjusted using a shaft with a higher kick point. I have about 10 fairway woods, all with stiff shafts, so I'm just gonna have to live with them for now... BTW, my driver speed is 108.

Unless you're actually not happy with what you got right now, I'd stay with your current shaft. It's gonna take a whole new loading profile and feel completely different. It may match your swing specs but if you know how to hit the one you've got, new one isn't worth it.
