[ I'm not a big fan of filament wound shafts in drivers, but if you want graphite shafts in your irons, I can recommend the $6.30 each/ten Hireko filament wound Powerflex FW-501 shafts, 81-83 grams, 3.0 torque (I think) in an R/S combo. ] Bernie, You sold me, I am going to use this shaft and Acer XDS iron heads for a 3/5/7/9/W set I have to build for a middle-aged non-athletic beginner. Swing speed hasn't been checked but is less than 70 for 5 iron. I figure I'll just use the R trim specs, unless you tell me they are very soft or very stiff. The golfer is such a hacker, just terrible, that this does not have to be heavily engineered for spines and cpm/flex. The next time he hits the ball squarely will be the first time. Just to paint the picture, if that helps. :) Oh, does Hireko sell a wood shaft under $15 that's worth using for a 5w for the same fellow? DC
