My guess is your shaft is ill fit for you, whats your swing speed? Whats your tempo? Ive spent Way too much money and time figuring this out on my own, for me, i top out at about 105mph with a fairly whippy transition, i have finally settled on a low torque stiff shaft, 2.2 to be exact, with a medium tip and a 10.5 head, its a little bit on the high launch side but its my sweet zone where i can just hit the ball with no worries, ive been all the way down to 8 degrees, spent a while at 9, but theres just too many things to go wrong, its better to be able to be a little off and still get help than to have to be perfect with each swing. I just finished figuring out the best lenght of my shaft, i started at 46" for me, i found the best lenght was 44" that was the point where my distance didnt suffer, but my accuracy improved, gotta be hitting the sweet spot and this is what works for me, im 6' tall btw. Anyway, all i can say is depending on your swing, try some different shafts, its hard because none of these big name places really give you a true fitting, usually they just hand you a club and ask if you like it, you have to be the one to ask for a high or low torque, etc. if your a slow swinger than maybe a high torque soft tip will suit you, if your like me and just wanna hit the ball without thinking than maybe a low torque stiffer tip, i luv the stable feeling at impact.
