hello friends!

Now that i finally have my irons set, i'm in the market for a driver... just bought over globalgolf taylormade tour burner driver 10,5 in reg, before i owned a nike sasquatch 2 with an aldila vs proto 65 stiff! The aldila shaft was a bit to stiff for me.. had problems controlling the face, so i opted for the taylormade in reg, now my trajectory is way high and im a bit shorter!
ive heard really good things about the cobra zl driver. ive also already held it in my hands, but unfortunately never had the opportunity to hit it!
Now for my question the standard shaft is an aldila voodoo, which flex should i get?? stiff or reg my swingspeed is somewhere in the 90ies, on good days stiff is perfect on bad days reg would do it! my average drives run at around 240-250 yrds. every once and i while ill rip one to about 280 or something but not really worth mentioning.
would really be thankful for your opinions!!

Honestly i would be careful about the shaft i bought a cobra S2 and i had to replace the shaft (it was a Stiff shaft but tested as a regular) so if you have to get the shaft that comes with it i would go with the stiff because the new light shafts they are making don't hold up very well to high swing speeds but you might have to replace it in the long run anyway. Not to bash cobra because now with the shaft i bomb this driver 295 Average i love it i would live and die by it. Now i do realize the shaft in my S2 was a fujikura and maybe the ZL being a little pricier you will have no problem with it but i would say with a 95 swing speed a Regular would be fine and you wouldn't feel the need to crush it but with the way my shaft was i would go with stiff and maybe the same thing will happen that it turns out its a Regular

    • Yea, it seems clear that if it isn’t marked or set by the committee it’s in bounds. Now, should you go trespassing to hit a ball. 😉
    • Bachelor of Science in Chemistry here. While my senior thesis was in Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry (Physics as it relates to atoms and molecules) was one of my favorite courses. 
    • I'd agree if you removed Scheffler. The best players in the world, by a mile, leading by four shots before Sunday isn't a dream setup for drama and entertainment.
    • It was here, too, and I'll link to a few topics and posts, including one of yours in which I got this all wrong. Which is why it's one of the questions I've asked about 10+ different USGA people. 😄  Including Thomas Pagel, Kathryn Belanger, and others. This topic below (from which I took a few of the quotes above) devolved into a discussion of unmarked OB: And, I came to learn that I was wrong about my stance in that, which is pretty much what you seem to now be saying.
