You didn't need to change your swing (or worry about the shafts, for that
matter). Just change to a golf course without OB. Voila, problem solved!!!

Tell me about it!! Last year, after playing pretty consistently for a while around my normal score80 - 84, I shot a 76 with 36 putts. Really good ball striking, normal bad putting. But an excellent round for me. Feeling so good about it, I had to go back out the next day and play again
as you proceed through the set.
Hope this was clear enough.

You need to do 2 different things here. You need to add weight to most of the heads to get them to a 7 gram differential. But you also need to raise the weight as much as possible, because, as David pointed out, you have light shafts and short clubs and therefore, you'll have very low swi

What do you think about this shaft for the lightest driver you could
possibly build? I know it's a little short for your version of long
