Drivers. R580 or Hogan CS-3

[Saks]

Am upgrading my driver which has a very flexy regular shaft. Am down to the final two (availability comes into play here!). Taylor made R580 stiff or Hogan CS-3 stiff. Both 9.5 Degree. Swing speed 107 MPH get good distance with my driver now but hard to control with the shaft. Any thoughts on either of these clubs? Also, can get the Hogan in extra stiff. Do I need to go that stiff with my swing speed?

Cheers

I have both a 9.5° and 10.5° R580 XD in stiff and my swing speed is 100-105 and fairly smooth. It matches my swing pretty well and I hit them straight.

The stiff shaft should be a pretty good match for your swing speed -- I normally need a shaft at the upper end of regular or the lower end of stiff depending on the shaft characteristics.

The only way you'll know for sure is to hit it but I'd guess it's in the right ballpark for you.
