pellmell Ok, I get ya. I find the “multiple flex” shafts to be a bit of a struggle myself. I thought 2 inches of extra tipping would be way too aggressive, but it worked out ok. I wound up just not using those shafts any more and went to the much stiffer profiles. Cost is always a big factor and at that time you could pick up the FST 115/125 for around $4 a shaft, so they were hard to ignore and easy to experiment with. Not sure what they cost these days, but I imagine for anyone not trying to make them a XX flex they still work out well.
