The guy at the repair shop had me take a few swings so he could measure my swing speed and fit me with the proper flex on the new shaft. I have always played with stiff shafts and was shocked to learn that he recommended a senior flex shaft based on my swing speed. I guess my mind still thinks I am young and has been writing checks my body can no longer cash? Anyways, I picked up the club this evening and just finished hitting a bunch of balls into the field in our yard (I’m up north). Holly crap Batman, I was hitting long high draws all the way through the field and across the road into the state forest (hopefully the neighbor wasn’t walking their dog down the road). Typically, with the old driver shaft, I would hit a low fade about 3/4 of the way across the field. I guess it’s time to check my ego at the door and accept the fact that I really am a friggin senior citizen: )

I really enjoyed your post. It was almost like reading a foreign language. You must have already figured out that I do not play golf.
