Hi,

First of all a little about my swing... I play off 11 and have a fairly smooth swing, more aggressive with the driver.... I don't know the club head speed when hitting Irons but with my old driver it is 112 to 115 when I was trying to hit a big one. My current irons are Titleist 690cb with s300 shafts, I hit these with a fairly straight ball flight but my bad shots start right and fade further right, pretty sure something goes wrong with the timing in my swing, anyway, these are getting quite old now and I like them but have started to feel like I may be missing out on some distance etc. I started using a Benross Quad speed driver which I liked, had an Aldila Voodoo rip launch shaft, this shaft snapped at the hosel so I am now looking for a new driver, I found it nearly impossible to hit a draw with this club but hit a consistent fade, again the bad shots started right and went further right.... I am currently using my driver from about 5 years ago which is a Hogan C.S3 neutral with the green Aldila NV-h 70-S shaft, with this club it can go both ways in the air and I don't feel like I have much control.... it also flies higher than I would like but has more loft at 10.5.

I have read up on shafts but am now more confused than I was before, I am not sure what driver to get or what shaft I should have in it, any advice would be very much appreciated as I have been unable to make a decision for over 3 weeks now. My folks are going to the US in August so was thinking of getting them to pick me up some irons also whilst they are there, are they still a lot cheaper to buy over there? thanks again

I guess my main question is which shaft would you advise I try?.... Also, I had an email about Krank drivers, has anybody tried one of these?

    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
