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

    • I think it’s more about conservation of angular momentum. If the hands didn’t slow down you wouldn’t release it and the clubhead would barely be moving faster than the hands. The hands start pulling up and back as you near impact, which makes the club rotate around its own CoM as well as rotating around the system, which makes it move faster, which as you noted is the idea.    You can watch all this happen if you find a YouTube video of a pro golfer face on and go frame by frame you can measure on your screen how far each piece moves per frame. As those distances change that’s acceleration and deceleration. You’ll see the hands slowing down and the clubhead speeding up
    • I see, so it must have to do with the shaft being flexible and bending as you swing it. 
    • The hands have to slow down to get maximum club head speed at impact. They are essentially braking to crack the whip so to speak.
