Whats up gentlemen,
Here's the deal, my driver now is a 10.5 with a regular shaft. I find that I am hitting the ball way too high, and hitting a big draw. My friends say that they see way too much shaft bend, and they are probably right considering i swing 110 with a driver. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on a new driver, I'm thinking TP or Tour edition of something because I prefer an open face at adress. Hoping not to spend too much dough either, im broke as hell, but drop a reply, love to hear your ideas.

If your swing speed is a fast as you say...then you need to dump the regular shaft and go with a stiff, possibly even tour stiff which is about 10 grams heavier.

Yeah if it's really 110 I have no idea why your playing a regular flex.

It is very difficult to recommend a driver to someone else. You really need to go out and hit different clubs and see what you like. Launch monitors and professional fitters are key aspects of this process. I love my driver(TM R5 TP) even though it is a few years old, I still havent found anything I hit better. It has the open face you are looking for, heavier shaft(78g), and you should be able to get a great deal on one off of ebay. I would really recommend going to get professionally fit though. If you like the head of the driver you have you may want to consider just getting the club re-shafted. Hi-Bore XL Tour with Diamana Whiteboard is a cannon, but not cheap.
