Sorry I wasn't clear - I was encouraging him to test a 7i first, before going for a whole set.

I pondered. I bought. Epic Flash Sub Zero Stiff 9deg

I had been playing A flex in my 4-5-6 hybrids. Hit them high but with a pronounced fade lately. Bought some old Sysyem Qs ( same as I was hitting) with R flex Graffaloy Pro Launch Red. Figured no way that can work but took them out one day for kicks and the fade is gone. Hit them lower but straight. Proceeded to put Pro Launch Red Supercharged in the rest of them, (too cheap to spring for the original Pro Launch. Not sure why it works but it does.
So I thought why not try it with driver? Replaced my A flex White Board with an R flex Wishon S2 (?) Black shaft which is tip stiff. First couple holes it seemed like a mistake, but I got used to it I guess because I hit quite a few drives above my usual average. Much lower trajectory but run out. The ones I launched high were the really good ones as I assume they didn't spin like the A flex shaft. Anyway so far I might be on to something. I should have played a few holes with the Aflex to compare side by side.

garyt1957 I've used a lot of A flex. Just have to be careful in finding the one that works. Most are too soft tipped and there is little control. OTOH, some are way too firm in the tip. Best I have found, and use for hybrids, are the Tensei Blue CK 70HY. Not priced bad at around $35, GolfWorks.
Also using an A flex Tensei Blue in a 3wd and it is very nice also.

Since there are no flex standards for manufacturers one brands A is another ones R. EI profiles or some other type of shaft profile are the only way to compare apples to apples or just keep trying and purchasing shafts til you get your self fit correct. And no worries something else will come along and most ho's will try the next thing. ☺

Personally, I am back to steel with persimmon for the most part. 😁

I am finishing this season with a graphite shafted 44" Louisville Smart persimmon driver with graphite and an old 43.50" Dynacraft Cure Tom Wishon/Elmore Just laminated maple with steel. Different strokes for different folks. And I am everyday people! 😆

1968 baby I was in Vietnam gotta love some different strokes for different folks.
