Geezer Driver Recommendation Needed
Sparky True, if you wanted some other flex besides senior flex, I would suggest you look for something that is not senior flex.
True, but if you are not seeking senior flex, then it would make sense to seek a flex that is something different than senior flex. ......like a not-senior flex, for example.
Sparky If I have to buy a driver and cannot get head only, I get the best resale shaft in it I can, without added cost. Senior flex shafts in OEM drivers are like having Skittles, M&Ms, and JuJu fruits in a bowl.
I use the same shafts in all heads, and made sure I have plenty on hand. And never sell the complete club!
In the end, equipment recommendations are shot in the dark. What works for you won't work for the intended. It's about scrutinizing the end user and matching up loft. face angle, shaft weight and profile. All the recommendations here may or may not work.
One may work great one day and not the next. It amazes me that folks/G'Buzzers think that the holy grail for me would work for another. NOT! It's well intended but just doesn't work, get in touch with a good person that can IDENTIFY your swing characteristic and this DOESN"T mean launch monitors find a person with experience that knows how to factor in swing characteristics and can really help you, not some bells and whistles person. That's the issue finding a swing guy that can get equipment to work for you the majority of the time. It's not an easy find. Most fit golfers with something that fits them or fits a PGA pro. There is a lot in between.
Pretty sure we all know this, Scott. I think these recommendations are based on "here's some examples of clubs that are targeted at seniors. Might work for you, might not". I think the OP is just looking for ideas. We all could have said, "go find a good club fitter" but that's not what he asked for.
scotts33 It's not an easy find
Self-fitter with no regrets here…well…maybe a couple
Hence why I have always been such a staunch supporter of the Swap Shop…I should have kept track of my “self-fit” transactions back in the FGI days!!…that spreadsheet would be crazy to look at…and it wouldn’t even come close in comparison to some Buzzers I know around here
Buy/sell/trade for the monthly/quarterly/season Holy Grail…rinse & repeat…in all honesty it has always been part of the fun factor for me

I am a "self fitter" and I know by trial and error what works for me and what doesn't. I don't try to fit others. It is possible a "proper fitter" might improve my club selection but I have never tried that. I also like to buy shit on the flea market and tinker. And I know because of my swing inconsistencies what works today might not tomorrow. Then you throw in aging and poon factor and it gets more complicated. I have pulled a shaft in a driver I hit well but wanted to try another shaft for a few yards more. That didn't work so I installed the old shaft back it at the same spine orientation and I didn't hit it as well as before. It can be a cruel game.
Rickochet Then you throw in aging and poon factor
Clubs get more poon by aging them in a well ventilated cellar at constant temperature.
