Let me start by saying I've played golf 30 years but in last year have made more meaningful improvement in my golf game then prior 30 years. So my swing is changing. I'm going from a steep angle of impact to less then steep.;;; but probably still rather steep.
I have a driver I keep in Florida with 44 inch shaft. During my January trip, I flat hit that driver. Fastforward to yesterday, I threw the 44 inch shaft in my current gamer in KY and took it out. at tee off it was 37 degrees. on the second hole I hit one of the best drives of my life in spite of my age. By the end of the round it was 55 degree's and I'd hit 5 drives at an almost out of body kind of way. If I say why- the ball had low spin cutting the wind a bit and rolling a bit. My launch was not low or high, ball just drilled.
It begs this question, how can I be both longer and straighter with a 44 inch shaft then the 45 and 45.5 that normally are in my clubs? I'm 6'1 so not short.
