Does the shaft really make that much of a difference? I played a buddy's x-stiff shafted driver and decided it felt right for me. I've never paid for lessons but the pros at the ranges I've been to always have something to say about my swing speed or my power. I was a baseball player and I'm just really picking up golf now at 19. Could the shaft really cause you to lose all of that distance? I don't really have the budget for golf that most people do, and it's hard to try other people's clubs being left-handed, so I have to estimate it the best I can and then I just buy the best stuff I can used (like my used R11 TP for $150).
I'm sorry to overwhelm with questions, but is it really worth it to get on a launch monitor? I have a golf digest top 100 launch monitor place about 15 minutes from my apartment, but I don't know the cost of it.
