 If the shaft is too stiff, it's more likely to cause a slice?

don't forget to factor in the effect of torque which is the other factor for club head twist upon impact. the result is the creation of side spin even when the golfer hit the sweep spot.

4 & 4.8 is consider twisty, not good, correct?

4 is slightly better, but really looking for lower torque....

You are getting used to the shaft. Naturally hooking than slicing.

few thing that i usually need to take note :

1. grip : whether are you on the strong grip or weaker grip
2. swing path : outside-in or inside-out
3. club face at impact : open or close

then follow by the equipment itself, u know shaft flex, shaft torque..etc etc..

LOL me also hooking after i got my stiffer shaft (coming from slicing a lot), so much so that a closed faced driver (like my 5900) is almost unplayable.

best advice will be go club fit . but it will depend on ur hand speed. but stiffer harder the draw will be if u got slow hands
