You are so close. And man when it clicks it’s going to be a lot of fun for youAnother lunch range session today and it kinda blew my mind again. As I put in more and more time with this shaft I see better and better results. Been focusing on a few things. Setting up square. Keeping my swing on plane. Getting through the ball. Letting the loft of the club do the work. Using all kinds of tips/tricks that @DannyLe recommended and some swing videos (pool noodle drills) that @JB recommended. The latter I still have a lot of work to do

At Shaft Up #1 JB and Danny kept saying over and over how close I was to getting where I need to be and now I'm seeing it. At first I was just believing them. Now the more swings I get with the Darkspeed X and LinQ Blue 6TX combo the more I'm starting to see how close I am.
So the numbers Im posting below are pretty pedestrian (especially for Internet golfers) but if you saw where I was before... barely getting to 200 (total) yards with a driver, this is almost night and day.

I'm not a big hitter anymore, I'm willing to accept that. But 240 and maybe even 250 seems attainable now. And I say that because the numbers above are with 25mph crosswinds taking my ball right. I say that because I can feel it getting better each and every time. I say that because my swing still needs work. Once I get those swing flaws ironed out a bit more, maybe even a lesson or three....I'm drooling at the possibilities.
The shaft itself feels better and better the more time I spend with it. I only see that improving. Starting to get a feel for what I need to do on the takeaway and the downswing to really get the most out of this. The feedback remains fantastic. I know on impact almost all the time what I'm gonna get. Most of all I'm just trusting the process and trusting what Danny fit me into. I would've loved to have seem instant improvement at Victoria but these little steps have been incredibly rewarding and I can't wait to get back out and hit this combo again.
