hit a 7 iron 165 or more. But Jesus my driver speed is slowwwwww
165 with a 7 iron is really good.
A standard driver shaft is 46 inches long now.
Maybe a 44 inch shaft would be something for you to consider?
I’ve often wondered if I would square the driver face more consistently with a shorter shaft? Sometimes I grip down, but I think that changes some of the flex.
Some guys on here can explain this better and may even have a “gap” driver with more loft and a shorter shaft.
The other consideration: maybe you have a great iron swing, where your angle of attack is down. However with a driver, you need the angle of attack going up- like +4. Get a monitor and check launch. Get a pro to check your setup to driver. Could be as simple as moving ball position forward so you are getting the club where it is moving up into the ball rather than down with the driver.

I hit my 7 iron 170 but am so bad off the tee with my driver. I have started hitting 4 iron off the tee most holes under 380.
If I could figure out how to be somewhat consistent with a 3 wood or driver I could be a lot better golfer.
