Hi Ed, all,
Thanks for the link. I did check it out along with a search for
anything weight arm related to get some information.
The problem turned out to be the shaft as I suspected. I am new to
FLO'ing and apparently I didn't do a very good job of it the first
time! I pulled it intending to re-FLO it and re-use it but ended up
buying a different shaft anyway. (Apache Blue Crush). Now it rocks! I
built it to 45", an inch longer than my usual drivers. Thought I would
try it. (TFlan was right - standing further from it does make it seem
smaller LOL).
With the 40g weight arm though the driver swingweight comes to D9!
LOL... I guess I should have seen that coming if I did any simple math
at all. Two interesting observations so far. One -- I hit this driver
great with this combination, high swingweight and all. Total weight is
327g and I don't feel that it is as heavy as the SW scale would make it
seem to be. I have far fewer bad mis-hits (slices). Two -- I am not
hitting this much or any further than my previous drivers. The day I
hit it best was extremely windy so it was impossible to say as my best
drives into the wind were barely 210. I am still checking distances
compared to previous drivers as I play more with it. Most drives appear
to be the same as before. (230-250). I expected with the additional
length I would get more than 10 extra yards out of it but so far I don't
appear to be.

Jen,
I believe you were having some problems with your 715. The following
is a good explanation of some of the effects of the moving its weight
arm:
