I'm right in the middle of the swing speed rating so I can't figure out the problem. When I demo'ed the Rapture with the stock PING shaft, I drew the ball like a champ.

The problem isn't present in any other club, so I'm convinced it has something to do with the shaft flex, torque.

A close friend has it in the Sumo Sq and he's got the exact same problem. He plays a S flex and swings about 100 MPH and I play the X flex and swing 115 MPH on average.
I had the same problem...I play a proforce v2 stiff with a 905r head...demoed the 907d2 with the proto shaft and could not turn it over...hit the same head with the shaft I have been playing and was back to drawing the ball...it doesn't seem to be a torque issue as there isn't much lower torque than the v2 unless you're playing steel...
