At 62 How should I adjust my Titleist D-2 Driver for More Distance ? Should I consider replacing the shaft with a "light" one from Reg. ?
My swing speed is down tyo 80 mph.
Please HELP.

Rick,
There are far more knowledgeable people here than myself, but without knowing your specifics, I'll share my experience. Back when I was last fitted for a driver, we experimented with 5 shafts. Two were lighter, one was a different flex and they all varied a bit in terms of kick point. In the end, one was a hands down winner over the others, an easy 15 "launch monitor" yards longer than the rest. On the course, I've consistently outdriven a few guys who were previously as long if not slightly longer than myself. All I can suggest, is to try and find some time to be fittted.
Good luck,
George

How is your ball flight? High or low?
What shaft do you have now? Do you like the feel? Ball flight? How have your tee shots changed (other than distance)?
Hang in there.

A shaft change may be appropriate and an adjustment in loft. I suggest you locate a club fitter who uses Trackman and have them check your numbers.
