I am a 2 handicap that has never been fitted for any clubs in my life.  I have no clue what my swing speed ad wanted to know if a custom driver could help me achieve better results.  I hit my irons a long way but my driver distance doesn't seem to be consistent with my iron distances.  My iron distance averages are as follows:

PW    - 135-140

9 iron - 150-155

8 iron - 160-165

7 iron - 175-180

6 iron - 190-195

5 iron - 205-210

I currently play the Adams CB2s with the stock KBS stiff shafts and I have a stock Adams 9.5 degree Speedline Fast 10 driver with a stiff Wasabi Adilla shaft.  I average about 260-270 off the tee (all carry because how wet it's been).   I seem to balloon the ball a little bit.  I have always used a stock driver shaft. Should I see distance gains with a custom driver shaft and does anyone have any recommendations????  Please help.  Thanks.

you should go to a driver fitting session ; go there with your current driver, you will hit it and will know your current launch stats (spin, launch angle, ball speed)

choose a head that you like, titleist or tm for example and then focus on hitting as many shafts as possible on the same head...

good luck

    • 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.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • 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. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
