Reshaft Question

I've been visiting the site for some time now and I have really enjoyed it. I have a question. I recently purchased a 10.5 deg. Nicklaus Airmax 440. I am sure this is a quality head but I am hitting banana balls with it. The driver came with a stock Fujikura shaft in R flex. There is a PCS clubmaker in my home town and I am considering getting fit for a reshaft. I have never done this before and I just wanted to know what I am in for (the process, cost involved, different shafts available). I am not a long hitter. I hit 3w about 210, 5i about 155. Accuracy is key for me. Does this sound like a flex problem? Torque maybe? I have a cheapo driver that I hit fairly straight but it is alum. alloy and I could really use the x-tra pop of titanium. Should I take this driver with me to the fitting as well? Thanks.

3wood going 210 so your drive will be in the 240 area if hit right. You may be a little heavy on flex but it shouldn't be that much stiffer then what you need.

For the fitting process you just hit on a launch monitor for about half hour to an hour depending on the set-up. Also where I did mine at the price was taken off toward the purchase of the clubs. So since I was college golfer I got half off to begin with so it was 40$ for me then that 40$ was put towards my clubs as credit so it was like it was free.

stop in and talk to the clubmaker, the fujikura stock shaft are poor quality shafts and are generaly very much on the week side.

Thanks guys. I'm gonna give it a go. If it helps me stay in the fairway, I'll be happy. Who knows, maybe I'll pick up a yard or two as well.
