Jeff, Thanks, that's very helpful. I have enough experience with the PE to be aware of the balance point and reduced swingweight, in fact I was sort of counting on that. I was not sure if the Lite Revolution was the same. I appreciate your comments about using the LR for hitters and the PE for swingers.
The shaft he has in his other 975D is a standard EI70 S. Any thoughts on which shaft would feel more like the EI70 he is used to?
