I have an Aldila 55g stiff shaft in my driver, which I bought off the rack before getting fitted. My clubhead speed with driver is in the 108-112 range, and I'm told that shaft is too light and whippy for me. I need to go do a driver fitting...

It is to light and whippy for you if you hit it poorly. If you hit it long with consistent direction and trajectory ignore the advice. I have two golf buddies who both play close to scratch. One is medium tall about 6 1 with great tempo and a long smooth swing. He uses reg. flex dynamic gold in irons and reg flex graphite in his woods. The other is 5 7 built but not huge, about 175 lbs. He hits x stiff irons, stiff woods only his driver is graphite. Both carry their drivers about 265 average, the taller one actually hits his 7 iron farther about 170 vs shortys 165. We play in scrambles together because I put better than either of them even though I suck at everything else compared to them.

Yeah, driver is definitely my biggest ball-striking struggle right now. Everything else in my bag is x-stiff per my clubfitter's recommendation, i just haven't got to the driver yet. I'm looking forward to getting on the launch monitor and seeing what driver/shaft combo produces the best results.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
