Hello,

I went to a golf shop to compare drivers last night.  I compared the D2 10.5 Kaili stiff shaft to the R11 stiff with their standard Blur shaft.  I found that I hit the ball remarkably similar with the two clubs.  Same trajectory and dispersion and the distance was similar as well.  I have decided that I like the D2 better due to the greater adjustability, and the shorter shaft should help my accuracy, and I am happy to not lose distance with the shorter shaft.  My swing speed is in the 88-95 range.   I am a 10 handicap and play fairly frequently.  My tempo is on the smooth vs. quick border and my angle can get a little too steep when I am not playing well.  My current miss is a late release which can cause a fade. (but I am working on that) 

The clubfitter on site was not the best that I have ever encountered.  He did not talk about my spin numbers or offer any suggestions.  In the area I live in my choices for location for purchases are somewhat limited.  They do have the full Titleist fitting cart.  I can get the spin numbers and launch angle and figure that out myself. 

 I was wondering if I tried the 9.5 D2 with the Ilima shaft what differences should I expect to see in that vs. what I have hit?   Otherwise do you have any shaft/loft suggestions I should look at before I purchase?  

I felt like the combination I tried there were no major flaws with, but I am not sure due to the similarity in results that I was necessarily optimized.

Thank you,

SB
