Hi Jeff,
I've been using a Caiman driver for a few months. I chose an Aldila Gamer Driver S shaft for it using DSFI info. I connect about half the time and the ball flight is great. The other half I can't get the toe around and slice it pretty good. My natural ball flight is a draw, sometimes a hook when I'm not paying attention, including with other drivers I've used. I don't slice with any other clubs but I slice with this shaft. Even if I try to hook it may slice.
If I change the shaft, should I adjust the DSFI? Torque? Tip? Where should I tweak to get better control over this?
Thanks for the help!

What are some recent driver shafts (and flexes) that you have used that create the draw?

Oops! Sorry, Jeff, I went on vacation right after posting this question and haven't checked again until now. 
The previous driver shaft I used was the Apollo Spectre Lite R flex. Other shafts I can remember include a UST Competition PHG 100 (from Gigagolf) and the stock shaft on the old Callaway Big Bertha S2H2 R flex. There have been others but I can't recall them. I haven't sliced a driver like this since I first started learning 20 years ago.
I should note that I put the same Aldila Gamer shaft in a Caiman Raw Power 3 wood with the same result, even though I typically don't slice a 3 wood.
The Caiman driver is 12*. The face is surely open at impact: the ball starts straight then turns right, often severely.
Thanks!

The Gamer might just be too light that it is causing timing problems or it could be the S-flex since you had been using R-flex before. The Spectre Lite and the older Callaway S2H2 shafts were much heavier than the Gamer.
