First off, I am not entirely sure if this is the right place for this new thread... But I just decided to put it here b/c I think it fits here the best. Here's the situation...

I've been hooking my current driver, and Titleist 905T with a FUJI E-Fit On Stiff Shaft for about a year now. About 1 out of 10 would actually be good with the others ranging from a hard, barely controllable draw, to quackers. Its been very frustrating. I've spent countless hours on the driving range trying to fix it to no avail. Until this past weekend, I decided to hit different driver. The pro shop at the driving range was selling a Taylor Made 2009 Burner with a ProForce V2 shaft (i don't think it was the HL version). I smashed this thing. Most balls were dead straight to maybe a bit of a fade. At the end of the session, I started rotating the clubs in 3 ball intervals. This yielded the same results; I would hook the heck out of the 905T and hit the Burner really straight.

So my question, is the some innate difference between the two clubs that would cause such a drastic shift in ballflight, or is my body just reacting to the change in drivers in a positive way?

In my bag:

DRIVER: 905T w/ Fujikura E360 Shaft
3 Wood 906 F4 w/ Aldila Proto "By You"
Irons: MP 30 w/ Rifle 5.5 Wedges Oil Can 50*, Vokey SM 54* and 58*Putter: C-06

      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.

      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.
