Honestly mate, that's not really something someone can help out with when they can't see your swing. Swing speed is an important number but unfortunately it's not everything when fitting someone into a general flex. Then there's the issue that flex isn't universal (try swinging a regular Motore F1 vs a stiff Kai'li for example and you'll see what I mean).

Are there any out of whack scenrio's to why your wondering? For example is distance suspect vs the speed/launch you have? Is the ball spraying everywhere? Is it consistently missing right or left? Does it look like it climbs up in the air, hit a peak then fall out of the sky? Does it travel along at a good clip and then just drop rapidly?

Driver shafts are rather tricksy in this.
If you look at recent numbers stuck in various threads for example, TC, Ary and I are all around the same speed with our irons but are in entirely different profiles and flexes and that's just for iron shafts. When you move to driver/fairway/hybrid shafts, those differences are only going to be magnified.

I really don't have reasons other than to gain some yardage. I have no probrem hitting the fairway. Never out of control. So no complaints there. I like my mid trajectory, and the draw. No problem there. But I do have that club open to the max and I still draw.
The thing is I make a good swing at it consistently and I feel that with my swing speed, I should hit it further than I am now. I mean, I'm not reaching for 300+ but 280 consistently would be really nice.
