“My” driver isn’t fitted. The woods/driver I’m using were free. Honestly my swing speed probably is fitted to a regular flex shaft. I started with a ladies flex (girlfriends moms clubs) and used a senior flex on Saturday (girlfriends clubs)

Sliced one on the first hole. My swing thought was to get the knuckles down. I used the driver on probably 13/18 holes and only had one more slice. I did pull (not hook) two and hit a pop fly to shallow center on one. Hard to tell for me if the knuckles down was a “fix” or if I just managed to do a sequence of things correctly. We played a scramble on the back 9 and ended up playing my tee shot on 7/9 holes. My buddy has played for a while and typically out drives me by 20 yards. I kind of black out on the tee box so it’s hard for me to realize what’s working without videoing it. I know I’m still not getting all of my weight onto the front foot, but I found it hard to focus on that when I was hitting them relatively straight by focusing on getting my knuckles down

Doubt this man. You're pretty young right? and with that kind of baseball background, you more than likely need a stiff shaft. Ever had your speed measured? Just go to golf galaxy and jump in the bay to see.

Changed my game completely going from a regular flex R11s POS to a new M6 with a stiff shaft.
