i think anyone that can carry a drive 280+ should be xstiff, so i would if i were you.......

now if you can carry 320 with a a 44", i would definatly go xstiff with a stiff tip and a 46". that is just my personal opinion, other might disagee. kick point and brand name makes a differnce too.

i personally like the graffalloy blue ld. i have a xstiff tip low kick point 48" and i can only carry it 280, but i am not even loading the shaft and hitting it that far. when i actually load the shaft i can get further but it takes too much strength and effort so i like to just swing a long shaft and get easy distance and accuray instead of trying to swing so hard and hitting wild and wearing myself out. my 3W carries 240 so i am happy with the 40 yds extra i get from 3w to D.
