| Re: taylor-made R580XD.. what shaft? Your swing speed is WAY to low to get a stiff shaft. Don't take that the wrong way - almost everyone who has stiff shafts already have too slow of a swing speed to actually benefit from it. Being that you have a slow swing speed, it's best to go with a higher loft on your driver. Anywhere from a 10* - 11* should be good, according to the info you gave. The reason being for this is that the optimal ball launch angle for your driver is 15*. A faster swing speed will launch a ball higher than a slow swing speed,given the same impact angle and club face degree. Therefor, someone with a 105 MPH swing speed could use a 9*- 10* driver, 115 MPH could use a 8.5 - 9.5* driver, etc.
