Need opinions on my driver issues

[littlewag7]

I bought a Taylormade RBZ Stage 2 driver over the winter on sale. The shaft in it broke and I contacted taylormade, they said they wouldn't do anything because I bought it from rock bottom golf. I then had an Aldilla Voodoo shaft put into it, it is a stiff shaft, but the length of a 3 wood, ever since then, I have not been able to hit that driver. I had an older Cobra Amp driver, the only issue is that it is a regular flex. There are times where I hit it 285 and straight, other times with a baby fade, and other times where it's 240 and 30 yards into the woods. Part of me wants to sell both, and buy a new stiff driver. The fact that I have hit the cobra straight and long makes me want to practice with that. But I just can't get over having to slow my swing down so I don't slice it. Most of my bad drives are, I assume, from swinging too fast for the flex. With my Taylormade before it broke, I hit a fade, but it moved maybe 5-10 yards from where I aimed. So I would aim just left of center and be middle or right of fairway almost every drive. Now that the shorter shaft is in it, I just can't hit the club. I know there are probably some swing issues, but it used to be slight fades, and are now big slices. Hitting friends drivers, I've had no issues hitting fairways. So, basically, I have a Stiff RBZ Stage 2 with what I believe is a 3 wood shaft, or a longer, but regular flex Cobra amp. Should I use one or the other and try to learn to hit those? Or just sell them, if I can, and buy a new driver?

New or used. Fixed not adjustable I assume. I play the TM Stage 2 Driver and woods. Different tip sizes on some shafts so make sure you ID the specs on the shaft. Too stiff goes left for me a lefty, maybe right for righty.

I professional redid my RBZ, he said he would find a shaft that he had in storage and used that one and installed it. I assume he knew what he was doing, but who knows.

Ok, what is the data on the shaft, name, weight, etc.

I'm 90% it's a 3 wood shaft.

[Hatchman]

Yea, the Voodoo shafts are good. It just might be a little strong for you. Did you test your new driver set up on a simulator after your fitter fit it?

[littlewag7]

I did not. He just did it and dropped it off at my golf league when he was there. I used it for the league that night but it hasn't been great

Aldila shaft ratings are one higher than everyone elses, meaning an Aldila R = a S in some other brand, and an Aldila S = a X in some other brand. I have a Callaway Razr Fit 2012 model practically brand new with an Aldila RIP'd NV R in it and for me it's like hitting with a board. I really have to swing out of my socks with it. I bought it as a practice driver during the winter brand new, and even checked with Callaway about it - yes it's authentic. I should have an A shaft in Aldila, unfortunately Callaway preowned didn't have any available.

Technically with my driver SS I should be swinging a S shaft, but a R shaft fits me better. You go by feel and ball flight.
