Right now, I use the Taylormade 07 Burner in the stock regular flex shaft. A while back, I picked up a barely- used Callaway FT-i I-MIX driver with a Grafalloy ProLaunch Platinum stiff shaft for $75 at Golf Galaxy just cause it was a good deal. I could never really hit the Callaway and was happy with my Burner, so I decided to try and sell it. My first attempt at selling the Callaway flopped, so I took it to the range the other day just to see if I could hit it now( I have made some drastic changes to my driver swing), and it turns out I can hit it ok now. I really like the stiff shaft, but I'm not so sure about the head and vice versa with my Burner. Do you think I should sell or trade in the Callaway and look into a brand new driver? Or should I just try and get used to the Callaway head? Or should I look into reshafting my Burner with a good stiff shaft and get rid of the FT-i? I have no clue what to do and any advice would be appreciated.

P.S. My swing speed is in the stiff flex range and my irons are stiff.

I can't hit the Cally square heads....I've tried, but I just can't....and it has nothing to do with square heads....I've hit the Nike one just fine....I found the Cally to be very difficult to hit. My buddy just got one to replace his r7 quad, and is having a hard time with it too.....

If you really like the shaft, why don't you try to put it on your burner. The burner is a great head, you will need to surpass it once you need to be able to start shaping shots, but judging by your HC, you are not there yet.
It's the indian, not the arrow! But it sure is nice to have good arrows!!!!!

Must just be me, but I recently picked up a Callaway FTiq driver (11 degree), and it DRASTICALLY improved my drive.

In my cart bag:
Driver - K15 10.5 degree
3 Hybrid - SQ
Irons (4-AW) - Burner HT
Putter - Ignite 002Ball - Noodle+ Long and Soft

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
