I put a new driver out into play. I was slicing it a little bit. When I eased off, it sliced a LOT.

Now, what do I think I was seeing here? I think I was seeing the effect of having the wrong flex shaft. My buddy needed it stiffer, and slowed his swing to sort it out, while I needed something a little softer. By having something too stout for me, I had to really go after it in an attempt to keep it straight.

Now, which way is it for you? I can't say for certain. Since you were swinging easy, I'd swinging faster. Not harder, just faster. See what happens. Change flex accordingly.
hi ben
thanks for the feedback
think i will book a lesson with the pro.
i had this reg shaft fitted because the stiff made me slice
believe me when i say i ve hit em fast/medium/slow.
