Bernie or others,

Can  you educate me a little on how you fit a long
driver?  Using an example, Joe Average.  Joe's swing
speed is 90 MPH with:

- 45" driver 
- 65g R flex shaft, 46" raw
- medium bend-launch-tip
- 4.0 degrees torque
- 237 cpm ungripped (4.5 on PCS Equalizer slope)
- Head weighted to D1
- 50 gram grip

Assume Joe has the swing mechanics to attempt a 48"
driver.  Probably most people don't, I'm sure.  I wish
I did.  So anyway....

At 48", the PCS 4.5 CPM is 211.  That's about all I
have as a starting point for Joe, and I don't have a
clue if that's good in the rare air of long drivers. 
:)

Let's say Joe's clubmaker can buy a 192g head, if need
be.  I hear they sell 180's in Asia, but I know I can
get 192.  I have one coming and I thought I'd build
one to see if anyone can hit it.  :)

What would your best guess be for the various raw
component specs and finished club specs to shoot for? 
As absolutely light as possible on head, shaft, and
grip?  Soft tip, firm tip?  CPM as soft as 211, or
softer, or stiffer?  

Thanks!
