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

      Sheep Ranch (Bandon, Oregon)

      By mdl · Posted

      So excited you made it out! I live in Portland and go most springs. If you liked Sheep's Ranch you ain't seen nothing yet. It's incredibly picturesque and with a 2 club wind it's not a cake walk. But as far as the quality of the course in terms of challenge and interest, in my opinion it's easily the worst on the property! Also, Old Mac started as my least favorite (this was before Sheep's Ranch opened). But I listened to the fried egg podcast about it and read through Doak's descriptions and it totally changed my perspective. Now it's fighting for top spot. So excited for you!
