I agree Paul,

I have done demos for people to prove it's not the equipment. I've hit with persimmons barely larger than a golfball, a childs length club, a club with a bent shaft. The result is usually the same, straight, long.

Most folks I teach are using shafts that are too stiff for them. I guess It's an ego thing. I could probably lag a x-stiff or XXstiff shaft but I have stiff shafts in my woods. I had regulars for a long time. It is crutial to have your swing speed matched to your shaft flex. I switched a guy from a regular to a senior shaft recently now he hits the ball straighter and longer.

But I have to say the biggest improvement someone can make is swing mechanics. If you know the setup, alignment and the golf dance step, it covers 95 percent of the physical game. The mental game is another story.
