Over the past few years I've played 3 different drivers. The first was a Cleveland Laucher 8.5* with the green Aldila shaft(NV? and unsure of weight, but I'm thinking 75g). Switched to the R9 and added an 85g shaft to it. Most recent change came last year when I bought a friend's new(he got it not too long before the 910s came out and just never liked it and put it in his closet) 909 D2 with the Fujikura Max 65g shaft in it. My normal flight pattern is right to left; however, with the Titleist I can't hit a draw to save my life. I have to play a fade with the driver, but all my irons and woods still have my same ol' draw. The lack of change in my irons makes me think it's not related to my swing, but possibly more toward the change in shaft weight. Am I on track with this and should I look back into getting a heavier shaft? As you can see I'm a novice when it comes to aftermarket shafts and the like. I'd always just played with the stock shaft option.
I've also come across a 910 D3 for a deal that is getting harder to pass up the more I think about it. The only issue I have right now is that the shaft in it is the Rip 60, and if the trouble with my 909 leans more toward the lighter shaft; I don't want to get into the same predicament with the 910. Do you think it would be possible for someone like an Edwin Watts or some place like that to remove the Fujikura Max in my 909 and swap for a heavier shaft for basically the cost of the labor to do so(same scenario if I decide to get the 910)? I guess I'm wondering if the fact that both shafts are $100(or more depending on where you look) would give a little more leeway to do something like this.
