i just bought the hs9 in september and i love it. has a regular flex shaft, i think ys5.6 is what it is. at first, i only got it b/c the course i practice at was getting rid of their demos and the one i wanted had already been sold. but after hitting with it for a while, this was the best choice. i think that the main difference between the speeds and the hs9 is that the hs9 has composite inserts in the head, making it a little lighter. i think they are both really good drivers, but it all comes down to what type of trajectory you are looking for and how it feels when you swing it. my hs9 is a 10 deg and i think that is perfect for me. i was hitting BOMBS on the course i played last week. i used to max out at 250 yds on drives, but now average between 250-270(hit one just shy of 294 the other day!). i also really like the shape of the hs9 compared to the speeds at address. the speed ld's kind of look like shoe horns on a stick to me. either way, you will not be disappointed. they both have large sweet spots that are way forgiving and really feel like the ball just pops off the face.

*oh, also, i think that the sound of the speeds is way more annoying. the one i was hitting with sounded like i was beating a keg with an aluminum bat. i seriously disrupted the entire range when i was hitting with it. they all stopped and were staring at me. even the person getting a lesson next to me was asking the pro what the hell i was hitting with. it was hurting my ears too, which is no bueno.
