Im a 4 handicap today I shot 76 on a par 70, but the fairways are tight.
I usually hit my driver about 260. I noticed today (because the ground was wet0 that my Drive barley rolled maybe 5 or 6 yards sometimes not at all the ball would be right next to the divot. My swing speed is 104 mph and i play with a R7 425. the question is should I get a newer driver to hit the ball father of get a Stiff shaft to get my trajectory and Spin down to get more roll.

Maybe a driver with less head angle, less loft.
You can play when it is cold. I always get good roll on frozen turf.
with a 104 swing speed you should be getting a little more yardage than that, but not much. If the ground was wet, that is likely why you didn’t get any role. When you watch a PGA tourney, those guys only fly it like 275 or so (most of them) so you need to get your spiin down with out sacraficing accuracy. That may not be possible. backspin holds the ball flight straigt. a good tip might be make sure your hitting the ball on the up swing, tee the ball high as you can hit it on the top half of the face and you’ll get less spin. swinging down with your other clubs is always good, but not the driver, that causes backspin.
I have an R7 425 with a stiff shaft and only 8.5 degrees of loft and i still hit the ball really high. Always have, its just part of my swing.
In wet conditions you will not get much of a roll out no matter what your trajectory is. Its just one of those things you have to learn to play with.
I have the TP version, which allows for a more pro trajectory, which is lowerer and flat in the air. Also, if you want a new shaft, I would recommend the UST V2 shaft, it is an exceptional combination with that club head. Also, the Diamana 83g S will lower your ball flight considerably, along with any fujikura. The V2 I have found feels the best. What I would do is look on Ebay for maybe a used R7TP and see if you cant pick one up for cheap, then put a custom shaft in there and I can promise you that the ball flight will be much more penetrating than before.
