I'm a 6. I think part of my problem is I did get physically stronger over the last year so what I'm seeing with the P790s is a wider dispersion of "good shots". It's frustrating to flush an iron and have a 30 footer putt instead of a 10 foot putt.I tried out the p790s and thought the same. The Titleist T200s had a good feel for a player distance iron that had decent control. Whatās your handicap?I'd be curious to what irons you go with. I've been playing P790s for a year and I don't like them. I hit them solid but they are a bit hot and I end up going long a lot of times on good shots.Iāve been playing Mizuno T zoids for years and nothing beats the sweet spot on a Miz but I have been looking hard at the new Titleist T series. Itās between those and Homna set I just demoed. Picked up the epic driver and 3 wood two years ago and love them bothI agree equipment can help but you still have to make the shots. The equipment must suite your needs. I also find it is easier to sucker people into a skins game carrying look alike as opposed to brand names. I never skimp on my ball though. I am a Titleist guy my self.Shaft stiffness isnāt only about speed itās also about trajectory. Stiffer shafts produce lower ball flights, but itās really all about what feels good. Too many people get caught up playing equipment for the brand name and who not what is actually suited for their gameMy club head speed is hanging in there. I top out at 110 and I can still play the tips. Hopefully I can hold off the dreaded senior shaft for a few more years.Good. Really concentrate on getting that full range of motion back Really important. If you have to stretch in high heat high humidity area until nAgreed on all of that. I didn't mention I also do stretching and do the 'ab ripper' 15 minute routine for core. Yes I've definitely lost shoulder turn, I used to wind up like John Daly when I was young now I barely get to parallel. I have added about 5 yards to my drives and iron distances since lifting and doing core.Drive distance comes from rotational force and the legs. Squats lunges and core training would be more effective for your purpose. Do not quit doing what you are doing total body focus is always good. Also spend a good amount of time stretching. I no longer give lessons but back when I did I noticed guys your age were taking three quarter back swings due to loss of range of motion. Video tape your back swing . High likelihood you no longer have a full one.

12 of the Best Hip-Strengthening Exercises
Strong hips lead to strong workouts. Here's why the muscles at the hip joint are so important for overall exercise performance, and how to best strengthen them.www-self-com.cdn.ampproject.org
You also may want to experiment with a more pliable shaft or less stiff shaft for the driver. I still have to use a very stiff shaft even though my swing speed dropped from 130 mph to 122. The day is coming soon where I will be switching shaft though.
110 club head speed is impressive
