Looking for my first real driver and have option between 913 d2 stiff shaft and 915 d2 m50 regular shaft. My 7 iron is around 140 yards

Based on which section of the shaft will flex the most, they can dramatically affect the launch and dispersion pattern.  The m series in the 915 is a higher launching shaft than most.  A factor we can&amp;#39;t determine as we are not physically fitting you is how you transition at the end of your back swing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Stiff versus regular is only important in comparing 2 flexes of the same shaft.  One shaft&amp;#39;s regular can be another shafts stiff, there is no standard across shafts for flex.  Not to mention that Titleist driver heads come in 4 different lofts so it can be like comparing a 5 iron to an 8 iron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Long story short, you at least need to hit both to decide for yourself or work with a qualified fitter or pro shop to find the characteristics of your swing for the appropriate loft and shaft combination.  When I got tired of buying and selling/returning used drivers, it was a whole lot simpler going to a pro shop and getting fit for the driver that worked with my swing.  I could have kept it for 4 years, which was a better investment than the 6 drivers I didn&amp;#39;t keep in my first year of getting into golf.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
