RK,
I built a PureFit 15 degree (186g) driver with an SKFiber
VIP L at 45" for a guy who had some health problems (when
built he'd had a stroke 1 1/2 years back, heart bypass 3
months back). C4 swingweight.
The VIP is REAL weenie of a shaft. He hits the hell out of it,
with great trajectory.
His strength is improving and tried a 13 1/2 degree PureFit (191g)
and a VIP A, but still couldn't replace the orginal.
It is sure worth a try.
