Lol. Well Im thinking about getting a new driver. Im currently using a 09' Burner with a stiff shaft. I hit around 220-270 ish on avg. I tend to push the ball to my right usually ( Im  righty) . Somedays I can control it enough to play my drive as a fade. Should I go with a extra stiff shaft to maybe straighten it out slightly? Im about 5'11 170 with a baseball background (Dead Pull Hitter) so its hard for me to not turn on the ball. Any advice on the topic would be great. Club ideas also. Thanks.

Couple of things:

1)If I'm not mistaken, the Burner has a 1° closed face.

2)You are pushing the ball, and your average distance is 245.

You don't have the swing speed for extra stiff.  You will end up hitting even more left to right.

Don't go extra stiff.


Are Normal drivers. Or others I should say not closed? Do you think that 1 degree could be why I am often pushing my ball left to right? That inner spin rotates it right.

If you push your shots now,  an x-stiff will only make you push them even worse.  Id say stay with stiff.

If you put the same swing on a neutral driver, you would hit the ball even more to the right.

    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
