count me in as well...i have been severely stressed out with my driver issues. most of my iron shots go straight, but i have not hit the driver properly on the course since 3-4 months ago.
today, i was lucky enough to be grouped with this guy, who immediately noticed the problem i had. he asked me what iron shafts i used (rifle stiff), and asked me what shaft i had on the driver (flexible
).
actually, if i had used my common sense, i would have realized this as well: the more flexible driver shaft tends to bend during my driver swing, causing me hours of frustation. the head lags, and then WHAM the ball snakes off to the right.
i always thought that i sliced because i am a newb, but this person enlightened me. he even let me try out his r7 driver with a stiff shaft, and the control felt so similar to my iron shots. i am going to sell my cobra driver and 2 nike cpr hybrids, and get clubs with stiff/regular flex from now on.
i agree with the common knowledge on this forum: get your clubs fitted! unfortunately for me, the city i live in does not have any fitters.
