sdandrea1 It was the Vizard 43 "HonmaRegular" flex which I think plays softer than other R flex shafts. The JDM stuff seems to be more senior oriented. Interested in @scotts33 thoughts there.
Same specs. and play ability as a Swing Science FC-One Ion "A" wood 46g .335 shaft. Vizard 43 wood might be a lil stiffer in the tip as I pulled it out of head and checked profile in my NF9. Hard to tell with adapter on shaft but close.
The big factor is the head a lot of miss room and play ability.
I am 73, 86 mph, 1.4 sec. transition time with driver and early-medium release. I can "wait for it" and not rush from the top kind of senior player so light graphite will work for me. My general ball flight is draw. I expect once the ground drys out to get extra roll as you can tee this one medium or high. The head like I said has miss room all over it. Most impressive modern high tech head that I have hit including some of the big major brands. The head was designed for the senior and ladies market it seems to me.
Hailey Ostrom reviewed it in 2019 when she was with Honma.
