Try PX 7.0 or TT X7 shafts.

Man I love my dynamic gold x 300's. They are a tad heavier than the s 300's, but it seemed to help me control the ball a little better.

thanks guys ill look into these shafts im playing the px7.0 shafts now and i was told that my only option with my swing speed was to stick with those and just hard step them to get the trajectory down

They make an 8.0, which is what Phil used for a while and may still use. The X7 is the stiffest True Temper shaft that I am aware of but like you said, hard stepping is an option too but stepping it once will only take it up 1/4 of a flex.

The X7 can be special ordered through any True Temper dealer but I believe that you will have to know someone to get your hands on a set of 8.0s.

Andrew, another alternative to flight it down is hitting a knock down shot. Irons are your accuracy clubs and that is a great way to improve accuracy. Just another option.

Just wanted to say Welcome to the site! +4 is amazing hence I have no advice to offer as a >-15.

I have no suggestions because I've never seen, much less played with anyone that fast. You're obviously straight as well as long, and at a +4, I would think your equipment was working just fine.

Just curious, where did you play college golf?
Which mini tours have to tried?
How far have you gotten in Open qualifying?
