I've been gone for a long while from the game (nearly a year), during which I ended up having to sell most of my clubs, some of which I hadn't even hit. Well, I'm finally getting back to a position financially where I can start playing again, but I'm a couple clubs short. Anyways, I found what I thought to be a great deal on a Cobra L4V. The last driver I had was a Nike 5900 and it was reshafted with a made for Taylormade Diamana (I believe) in regular flex. I had hit a few drives out in the 300-310 range a few times with it, but was more consistently in the 280 range. I decided to go for a Stiff flex. The one I got has a Mitsubishi Rayon 53x5ct (I don't know much at all about shafts) in stiff flex. It's also been cut down to 43.5". Today I was hitting it real consistently. Not great or anything, but better than I used to. Except it was HIGH, and not real long. I remember reading great things about the L4V and it being a bomber. Is that what this head does? Or the shaft? I was hitting the best drives around 250.
My question is: Is the loss of distance/height from the shaft? And if so, what shaft would you recommend to bring the ball flight back down?
I'm obviously not giving up on it after one range session, I still don't have a putter or a bag yet, so those will take precedence, but you know how us ho's like to anticipate.
