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 27° and a split grip. Hope to take the completed clubs to the range today but with 90°+ temps we'll see.

        I switched from 17° 4 wood to 19° 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 don’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 I’d sometimes rather not use a driver due to bunkers etc. The 3 wood probably won’t be enough shorter than the driver to make it worth using. But I had the head so I’ll give it a look.

                    I’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 “complaint” 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 I’d be done in about an hour… yeah no… 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.

                              Par4QC I scaled and looked for spines across the 10 I got.. stupid consistent and no spine. These things are a STEAL at $12 a shaft. I’m going to buy a back up set if the on course results look as good as the range did. It’s hard to find “heavy” graphite shafts in X for twice the price. I know nothing about them, or if they are a rebranded something or other, but they seem like really good quality control.

                                  Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏼😊

                                  No rebranding. I had ‘specs’ that I wanted in graphite iron shafts so I started networking to find a factory that I felt comfortable in developing a partnership with, after receiving samples, and started working with them on a production run.

                                  As a fun fact, I’d say 90% of the factories that ‘supposedly’ can produce shafts, can’t/don’t and so they pretty much just do stock blanks from a factory that can and have them painted. Plus, if one did go through that type of factory, you’d quickly find that there is no customization allowed (set CPM range, torque range and weight range) outside the paint and there is very little quality control either. Additionally, you’d probably find fiberglass in those shafts too.
