Shaft weight vs. stiffness

[loopy]

Thinking of trying something with a new driver shaft combo. Right now my dirver is a Nike 5000 9.5 degree loft with a GD YS 6+ stiff shaft at right around 45". What I was thinking was maybe a Ping g10 9 degree with a heavy weight regular flex three wood shaft. I play stiff shafts in my irons and figure accuracy there is more impaortant than distance, however sometimes I fell I might be "working" to hard with the driver. As far as swing speed with the driver I've seen numbers between 98 and 104 mph. So I was thinking I might be borderline with the stiff shafted 45" driver, also I'm on the short side stature wise.

Reasoning behind the heavy reg three wood shaft and 9 degree head...take some loft out of the head and let the shaft do the work? Plus I've hit a 9 dgree g10 and hit it pretty high to begin with. Any thoughts?

We don't have much info on your driver's performance. What does your current driver shot look like? Are you hooking it, slicing it, spraying the shots around? What is your launch angle?

Your swing speed appears well into the range for a stiff shaft. Too whippy a shaft could cause you control problems.

How long have you had your current driver? Enough time to really "learn" how to use this particular one? If you are spraying shots, a lesson might help.

If your swing is stable, this is one to decide on the launch monitors. Make a data-driven shaft selection, or you may just elect to keep what you have.

I've had the driver for about 1yr+.  I actually don't hit it all that bad.  Usually the first couple of tee shots are pretty good nice little draw,  but later on it can turn into a straight push or block.  Sometimes I get a little quick and will hit a low hook.  Not really unhappy with it, just thought with Santa on his way maybe I'd do a little experimenting.  When I initially got fit for it the Nike guys suggested maybe putting a three wood shaft in it if the length was too much for me(shaft length); of course testosterone got the best of me.  So going back to that thought of a shorter shaft I just started thinking maybe something a little heavier  (wieght wise) might keep the transititon from getting quick, but could make the block worse.  Anyone ever thought about putting a hybrid shaft in a driver head?  Just kicking some ideas around as its 15 degrees outside and probably won't see a round of golf until April.
