re: Driver for accuracy

OP, there is going to be a lot of differing viewpoints so take the following as just another approach. Depending on your expertise with the game, a full fitting for a driver shaft may not be necessary. IF you are a high handicapper and struggle with putting the ball all over the place, then trying to dial in a good shaft relative to your launch angle, angle of attack, spin numbers, etc. will be very difficult and I feel that you'll waste money. So I echo what one poster has said in terms of waiting to get fit for a full fitting.

That being said, it is important to figure out the type of shaft you need. Distance comes from ball staying in the air and then rolling out a ways. So, you need to be able to get a shaft that will launch it appropriately (the proper kickpoint). I'd also recommend you try to figure out which flex you need. The more loose the flex the wider the dispersion (typically). There is no magic formula with mph of club head speed. If you swing it at 110mph and all the charts say x-stiff but you cant release the club to get launch, then x-stiff will hurt your game. So, to echo another poster, try to figure out the type of shaft you need rather than dial a particular shaft off of your numbers.

Lastly, driver head technology hasnt really improved that significantly over the past few years. There are heads that are lower spinning so in theory, straighter, but also wont help keep the ball spinning in the air. Ive hit heads that were in the early 2000s that were longer than heads today... for me.

TLDR - best advice I can say is to go to a golf store with a used selection and hang out on the monitor for a while. Be happy with straight over distance. Hit a variety of different brands and different flexes till you find one that inspires confidence. FWIW, Ping uses a major company to make their stock shaft options and get the shaft manufacturer to fit the broadest of swing types. Ping also has a self fit chart on the website. Dont knock the ping stock shaft options.
