Same swing with different flex shafts (same shaft though) equated to different lie angles by 1.5*. one had more toe droop than the other. ------------------ Here's another for you: Old average driver swing speed = 105-110 max around 112 Above was with a shaft that was too light and too weak. My computer wouldn't let me swing as fast as i wanted cuz i would overpower the shaft. New shaft, heavier and much stiffer: New average swing speed = 111-113 max around 116 (even got it up to 118 one time but sadly once one time ) So you can see that equiptment can drastically effect what kind of swing you put on the ball. For instance i have been too lazy to get my lie angles bent flatter in the short irons. They are currently 1* flat throughout the set. The short irons need to be 2* flat. I have to incorporate a bit of a bent left wrist at the top of the swing to help keep the club open so i don't draw the short irons too much. I could go on and on, just make sure you find a knowledgable fitter and it might even help your game. __________________ I'm not a TGM or PGA certified Pro, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night jim_0068 View Public Profile Send a private message to jim_0068 Find all posts by jim_0068
