LogicalOne Unfortunately, I don’t have any options at this time. Sorry.
Gotcha, I'm just wondering would less tipping work? Tip a 9iron like an 8 iron?
What did you build today?
garyt1957 I've done this with several shafts/builds, steel & graphite. iirc, 'they' say that is just 1 soft step. 'They' also say it would take 2 soft steps to equal a full flex. Never done the 2 though, just always added a tip weight to help things along. 2-3g.
And it has always worked as I wanted.
I feel that for 98% of folks, soft-stepping an R to an A with the LogicalOne graphite iron shaft wouldn’t hurt anything/would be fine.
Not all of us are built out of solid muscle and can take that extra weight on, like you can Rex.

138# of 'solid waste', I am now.
I do have great muscle memory though.
I still remember when I had such a thing.
Holy shit! You literally have become a tip weight! 
Perfect mate for Typhoon on a seesaw. 
Back to my 4th grade playing weight!! (6th grade height though)
Eguller Only true Geezers remember seesaws on the playground. Fun when the opposing player is not paying attention or a sister, if I remember correctly
Par4QC You got that going for you
fatshot We usually have enough wind that a fairway wood greater than 24 or 25 degrees can be hard to control the distance. I would say that my swing speed is still too high for the 29, 33, 37 degree XDS Fairway heads I bought. But they could be great for super seniors.
A hybrid should be the right choice for me. But I’ve been using long, light ones and I get fairly big misses left and right. Especially left
As Scott says, they have a lot of onset because of the higher lofts. But, I think that keeps them from being hook machines. From my quick experience today, it flew plenty high and was much easier to control at 37.75” than my normal one at 39”. Same shafts btw. At that length I can hit it like an iron, or at least close to the same swing. Might need the ball forward a bit. At 39” my other one is not an iron swing but not quite a fairway wood swing. That annoys me.
Bravopilot You need one?
Not a chance I can launch it off the ground, so not for me. 
I chipped 3 times today from 50-60 feet by using a putting stroke with the 6h. I only converted one of them but the other two were acceptable, considering I had no experience. Being shorter and heavier made it better for chipping.

Shaft is too light with too much flex. Though the UST iRN shaft is a stiffer shaft profile.
Since I use steel in frwy woods Louisville Golf #9 27 deg. and #11 30 deg. I don't get the ultra high trajectory. It's more highish with penetration with steel TT Dynalite .335 this is missing from lots of senior graphite choices.
