  • Apollo Spectre Lite steel flex hierarchy/shaft tip trim? Confused again

I like these shafts and play them in my Wishon 755pc irons. I bought some more to put in a set of other heads I have. Somebody explain to me the trim order of hierarchy please. I thought they went in this order: L A R S X
This order has me confused: http://www.apollogolf.com/apollo-golf-shafts/apollo-spectre-lite-iron-shaft/
L R A S X - ??
So is A flex more stout than R flex?
Has no bearing on how I'm gonna trim them, but just for conversation.....something looks screwy to me.

I'm pretty sure the trim is the same on the L and R, and the A and S because the shafts are combo shafts: L/A and R/S. I used them for years and normally trimmed them in between R and S as I always thought they played a little stout.

Did you notice the 3 important things associated with the shafts? The raw weight difference, and esp. the raw length difference???? Also the butt diameters. These are not just 1 shaft for all flexes, they are 2 different shafts, A/L & R/S.

Landon--See the Hireko DSFI page 181 has the Spectre Lite L and A flexes and page 182 the R and S flexes.

That shows how they can be used in a fitting and build out and how they compare to other steel shafts of the same like.

I use the rebadged Spectre Lite (Swing Science FC-One 950i L/A and R/S) in utility irons and mid-irons for those that need a bit lighter steel where graphite is too light and std. steel too heavy.
