I bought a 45 gram A flex Aldila Ascent shaft pull for my driver about a month ago, and I liked it so well that I bought a couple of similar pulls, and after measuring the distance (or lack of) of my fairway woods during yesterday's round, I decided it was time to switch out my 7 and 9 woods as well. So, just epoxied them up and set them aside to dry. I hope to get a chance to practice over the weekend, to see how they feel. If they're anything like the driver, I'll
be a happy camper.....for the rest of the season at least. The next logical step is ladies flex.....in fact, maybe I'll take a couple of my wife's FW woods along to practice just to see.....!!

    fatshot I have the Ascent50, A, in my 5 & 7. $$$ shafts/clubs!
    Strange thing though is I also had it in my 3 but it was horrible. Changed that to a Tensei Blue, A, and it is now $$.

        Left to right:
        Honma XP-1 driver with new aftermarket shaft (LogicalOne Leveler R-flex) to 45"
        Maltby CT-250 FC thriver (note the draw bias) with Matrix Kujoh 75-A shaft to 43"
        Snake Eyes Viper Ti-4 3-wood (extreme draw bias) with Matrix Kujoh 85-A shaft to 40.75"

        The Ti-4 has weights installed in a 12-12-10-1 gram configuration heel-to-toe.

        That shaft combined with my Paradym X driver head is a perfect fit to my swing. It just works.

          My hybrids are Callaway "W" flex. Good fit for me.

              Over the weekend finished off the reworking of my home-brewed single-length Snake Eyes Quick Strike II hybrids with Aldila Trinity F-75 shafts in A-flex (purchased from GlobalGolf RBG; these were apparently originally part of the Callaway RAZR Fit Xtreme fairway wood offering a decade or so ago) and Lamkin Sonar Plus grips. Playing length is 40". These are the 15Ā°, 19Ā°, 23Ā°, and 27Ā°. Also have the 31Ā° but didn't reshaft as my current irons should cover that yardage.

                HybridWood Those shafts have been hanging around a few online retailers for awhile. I suspect that they are like an NV with a softer tip, maybe a NVS. Do you like them?

                    backinit I would agree with NVS-like. They do have a softer tip like the NVS. So far I am pleased with the results based on range testing with the 27Ā° and a split grip. Hope to take the completed clubs to the range today but with 90Ā°+ temps we'll see.

                      I switched from 17Ā° 4 wood to 19Ā° 5 wood, so I decided to build different fairways for gapping purposes. Jetspeed 7/23, and KZG 9/27. While I was at it, Launcher HB 3 wood. All with the FGS plus shaft or the iDrive equivalent.

                      I donā€™t know that I need a 3 wood. Time will tell. Right now when driver is not the good choice, I use the 5 wood.

                        Reshafted a Louisville Golf persimmon 11 wood Niblick 30 deg with a TT Dynalite steel R to go with my ALL American set.
