I agree with this as the flex point of the shaft will affect the loft of the driver resulting is some degree of true loft.
I have a
Taylor Made 300 - 8.5 degree driver with a Harrison 2.5 Pro Titanium shaft (mid/high bend point) that appears to be a great combination for me. I get a great boring trajectory that does not suffer my carry distance. I could get slightly more carry distance if I were to use a 9 or 9.5 degree driver with this shaft but the distance gained is not worth sacrificing the overall versatility of this combination.
Each person has their own set of criteria that they need to determine. After extensive testing, driver types and shaft combinations, I have found what works for me and have no intention to change drivers anytine in the near future.
