I currently have a Taylor Made R7 460 with a Stiff Shaft. After some lessons to fix my swing, part of the fix has been to slow my swing to prevent over hip rotation and hands being left behind. I am hitting the ball straight but I am only hitting my drives about 230 yds, 3-wood 210 (off the tee) ... What kind of Loft Shaft Combo would get me more distance with my more "controlled" swing. I did swing a friends 10 Deg reg shaft R9 and hit it the same. Is there a club that can help or is my only real fix to work my swing speed back up??

I have swung two different drivers on my last two rounds.. what they have in common is 10.5* Reg Shaft.. I am getting better accuracy and distance. So im looking at clubs and in my price range I am looking at Used or "Last Year Models" New.

What Clubs of 2010 or 2011 would you all recommend.. I have looked online at Callaway FT-IZ and Burner Superfast 2.0 .. Yes No.. Something Else.   Trying to stay under $150

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down.

      Day 17 (26 Mar 25) -  Big day working on a project at church - therefore it was grab some time with the 9i in the backyard working on pitch and runs later in the day.  Focused on keeping the ball flighted to get some good rollout.  Hit about 20 shots doing that and then moved to the 54 to keep working on getting good torso rotation and not flipping through it.  Was not perfect as there were some bloopers and fliers but overall a good session on distance control.
