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.

              Par4QC You must be looking for more launch. I notice you set the screw to the very back.

              For me with steel shafts I need more launch. The difference in heft match (higher) heft allows me to be more synced up and I don't get the high launch of a graphite softer flex shaft profile in the tip area vs. steel even Dynalite. Plus the BBGM makes the shaft play stiffer a good factor as trajectories and dispersion are way less with steel even for a slower swing speed senior than graphite plus the heft is better.

                  backinit I haven't played a 3 wood since I was in around 50. I'm not sure why I'm still holding on to one.

                  I haven't owned a 3 wood since......hell I can't remember.

                      backinit It would only be a tee club for me, I think. We have 7 holes where Iā€™d sometimes rather not use a driver due to bunkers etc. The 3 wood probably wonā€™t be enough shorter than the driver to make it worth using. But I had the head so Iā€™ll give it a look.

                      Iā€™m hitting the 5 wood as far (carry) as I could hit a lower loft. Roll out is not as far though.

                        Years ago I liked the Wishon Series 5? steel shaft in my fairways. I would sometimes use it untipped and I could get it over some tall trees lol.

                            KCee Biggest issue is .335 steel availability now. I have set aside a case of TT Dynalite and TT Dynamic along with some Apollo Shadow .335 steel.

                              Finally got off my ass and built my EQ1-NX irons, pulled the steel that came in them and popped the Logical One 95x shafts I bought for them in November in..

                              The good news, I took them to the range and was centering them pretty easily, even played around with some shot making drills and found that to go well. What a difference some time makes, the components, from heads, grips and shafts were all super consistent, 1g deviation for everything. My only ā€œcomplaintā€ was the Tackimac grips I got were about 6g heavier than their spec, BUT they were all the same.

                              The bad, I forgot how long it takes to put a set together. I had it in my head Iā€™d be done in about an hourā€¦ yeah noā€¦ also, without all my tools of old, I felt like a complete hack, just guessing at everything. There was no discernible spine, so I just blasted them together, logo down and sent it.
