Definitely having guys like Rhodes , Barrett and Ryback would ' ve helped out . Especially if they went to Smackdown . <| sep |> Are they hip enough to understand Venmo ? That would be an easy way to do it . My mom still writes me checks whenever I pay for things for her . <| sep |> A SVDK would be nice too . A nice RoF and nice Damage . <| sep |> I ' m going to go ahead and say it ' s probably not the shaft that ' s making you slice it all if the sudden . You said you slowed your swing down , and that can throw all sorts of timing off . If you only slowed your hands down and your hips stayed the same , it ' s going to open up the club face and slice that ball . That being said , you said you are driving it 300 ish yards , which generally would mean get a stiff shaft . If you ' re swinging it between 105115 mph get a stiff , anything above 115 maybe look into an X but it depends . I swing it close to 115 , I can ' t remember what my exact swing speed was last time , but I can say I do not like X flex shafts . I ' ve tried a bunch and always liked the stiff better , which I think is because I like to whip the club and it helps to have the shaft a little looser . So all in all , if your hands are lagging behind too much , a stiffer shaft won ' t really help that . Maybe get some video tape of your swing and try to go to a shaft fitter and see what they recommend for your swing .
