for the last 3 seasons ive been playing a 905t 9.5 ys6+ tipped 1/2 inch. i hit the ball beautifully. i hit this club long and medium height with a slight draw, but i have the ability and confidence to work the ball both ways. being a 3-5 handicap and taking the pat exam this upcoming summer hitting the ball consistant and straight is a real important element to my game. i recently switched to the 909 d3 with the diamana blue 73g stiff shaft. i took off 1/2 inch from the top to be more comfortable. i cannot hit this thing straight to save my life. its a consistant block or fade and my miss is a hit fade or slice. i made teh switch for the new "technology" hoping to add distance and make it alittle easier to control. please someone with real knowledge on the subject give me alittle advice or insight. not sure if i should swap the shafts and see what happens or what. thanks everyone hope to hear from you soon. thanks again
