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

    • Day 292: light day today. Mirror work, working on getting my hips more open in the downswing.
    • Day 135 (27 Apr 24) - played Bradford Creek today while waiting for the missus fly in from her extended visit with the grands.  Good day to stay focused as it was a hurry up (groups pressing from behind) and wait (groups taking their time ahead)…a good day to stay mentally in the game - play the shot and not get frustrated in the waiting…
    • Day 122: 4/27/24 Supposed to be a Stack training day but I was beat after yard work today. Practiced chipping and putting at The Creek. The practice green is pretty slow but the session went well. 
    • Went to the range today and was cursing myself when I got there as I realized I forgot my phone. I added an earlier wrist hinge to the short backswing I was using last time practicing and ball strikes were really good for the most part. I'm heading back to Boston Thursday to see friends and family and have a couple of rounds planned so I'm hoping to keep this feeling.  Yesterday morning I weighed in at 232. My goal had been 230 but maybe now it's 220. I'll have to think about that. I feel so much better without the extra 90 lbs. from 2 years ago. Still a softl slightly less protruding belly so it might be time to go hard on eating better. Work in progress. 
    • Day 7- Went to the range and hit a bucket. Also did some chipping and putting.
