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.

You know what’s a great way to determine all the things you listed in this paragraph? A fitting. Good Fitters charge $150 for a driver fitting and then usually take $50 off the price of the driver if you buy it from them. Is it really not worth the equivalent of a green fee or 2 dozen golf balls to get optimized?

Nobody makes the same swing every time, but even high handicappers have tendencies.

There is zero good argument to not get fitted, regardless of handicap if you’re at all serious about the game.
