I got fitted the other day and was hitting my driver great

I have a ss 100-105mph carrying the ball 250-265 ish with a ball speed of 155-160mph. I got fitted to a stiff RIP shaft (i believe 60g)

After that session my swing fell apart low duck hooks high slices thinned topped balls.  It's been messed up since.

Yesterday I finally gave up and switched back to my old driver, R5 with a Regular shaft M.A.S 2 mid tip and was hitting it perfect.  I feel like I have a smooth tempo so I don't load the shaft that hard.  Any explanations of why I can swing my old driver so well and when I jump to my new one (which I wanna use but I'm beginning to hate) its all messed up?  With my SS I technically shouldn't be able to hit my R5 that well but man I love that thing!

Because its new, will take time to bed

I bought a superfast 2.0 driver 9.5 degree to lower my shot trajectory as my nike one launched it so high even on calm days the wind affected it

took me a good to months to start hitting it properly after a very bad case of the slices

now even when i rip the hell out of it and slice/push slice it im only 40 yards off target line as opposed to a 45degree right shot

i though I was hitting it rubbish as it stayed lower than i thought it would of done, and had a slight draw on it,

it wasnt until i played a round and hit similar shots i realised i was driving a good 10-15 yards further than i used to

give it some serious practice time and it will come,

If you have duck hooks, high slices, and topped shots, its not the shaft, its the swing. Your got the clubhead stuck behind you, and your not getting your weight forward through impact.

    • I'm bad about taking pictures, but here are a few Hole 1 on Duke, looking toward the green. The elevated green with bunkers surrounding it was a theme. The other theme was pin placements that were tough - this one is pretty far left. There were basically no easy pins on this day.     Hole 3 at Pine Needles. An extremely cool hole. Hole 5 at Pine Needles. The picture doesn't do the green site justice. Green of 6 at Southern Pines. A wild green, and a really cool setting at the edge of the property: Hole  Tee shot on 5 at Tobacco Road. Flag is on the flag, the huge fairway is to the right. Hole 8 at Tobacco Road. Downhill, medium length par 3 with this pin in the front part of the green. Really cool looking shot. A look at the pin placement and cottage on Tobacco Road 14. I hit one of my best shots of the trip here, to about 15 feet. 
    • Yes, but season 2 being all of six episodes is a bit of a let-down, even if the season itself wasn't.
    • This is one of the greatest posts I've ever seen in my life on sports message boards like this!! Bravo, Sir!! 👏
