With a swing spped around 105-115 I would say the stock stiff shaft is pretty good for you now.What kind of ball flight does you Taylormade driver produce?As for woods it depends how much you want to spend,Titleist produces great woods as does Taylormade,Sonartec,and Mizuno.As far as putters go I would say go for ScottyCameron,althought that will depend on for much you want to spend for a putter.Titleist and Cleveland produce great wedges,I have Titleist spinmilled wedges and I love them.I would say check e-bay for some of these items you can get great deals.Hopefully that helps you.

I would use the stock shaft for a while and spend the money on a good 4 wood, a couple of wedges and a putter. If you dont want to spend a whole lot to start out check out some of the Adams stuff over at rockbottomgolf.com. Putter is a feel thing so just demo some and pick which one you feel comfortable with. There are plenty of good wedges and woods out there for good prices.
i loved my r5 draw with the stock shaft. ive upgraded to the r7 draw and also upgraded to a ust proforce v2 stiff and love it. i was also happy with the stock shaft too.
shafts are not dictated by swing speed only. with a new shaft you are able to fine tune things such as kick points, torque, tip stiffness. etc. go to a launch monitor to determine what is best for you or discuss with the sales person what you desire, (lower/higher ball flight, etc.)
and swing speed alone does not necessarily determine what flex you should use. If you have a smooth swing, you can use a softer flex and gain more yards. If you have a "harsh transition" swing you may need a stiff flex to square the head and gain more accuracy.

I agree with the above. The best shaft (as well as club, ball, grip, shoe, ect.) is the one that fits you best. Not only measurements but also feel. Use what feels the best to you, as long as it measures up too. The best thing I ever did was getting fitted with clubs. You hate to say it but technology makes a huge difference.
