I just picked up a 904F three wood with a stiff graphite shaft as mentioned here:

I have hit it about 8 times now, 3 from the fairway and the rest teed up. Overall I love it but have one question: The ball flight tends to draw. I've hit two straight, one hook, and the rest had about a 10 yard draw. This is not normal for me - I hit a straight ball with a tendency to fade it.
Is it the shaft? Does this mean the shaft is too stiff?
All else being equal - Does a stiff shaft make the ball tend to draw?
If I reshafted it with a fishing pole would I get my fade back?
Or is it the other way around (the shaft is not stiff enough)?
Here is my question:
Stiff shaft = Hook
Flexible shaft = Slice
or is that backwards?

I am not complaining about having a draw - I am just thinking about picking up a newer 983 driver and dont want that to draw (so I should go with x-stiff)
