Nice story. Made me go look at the flex on my driver shaft. A lot of the wording on it is covered up by the grip. Now I think the driver shaft is too short. OMG, I have to stop reading golf stories and tips and go with the steady 175-185 yd drives with up to 200 with a little help from the fairway slope.

I don’t think wiggly is a technical golf term but I like it. You probably typed waggle but spell check got ya.

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: )

Just a suggestion. I am a female and don't have a lot of power. I had a Callaway driver that I had not used very much and the head broke. I received no help from the store where it was purchased, but I called Callaway. They immediately sent me a new and better driver, no questions asked. Give it a try.

Don't sell yourself short, in my experience the females have all the power.

It's no secret...women have extraordinary power because they control about 90 percent of the money in this country AND 100 PERCENT OF THE SEX...NOW THATS REAL POWER...

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.
