Fairway Shaft Recommendation for a TS3

rawbuffalo · February 22, 2019

Looking for some help picking out a good fairway shaft for the new TS3 fairway head. I don't have the chance to get fit or try shafts out on a course so here I am. I live in NY so not many places close to me. I play a Speeder 661 in my driver, in a stiff flex but its on the higher end of stiff when it was frequencied, so I was told. That shaft has a nice feel and although I've only played half a season with it I've liked the feel and results. Gives me a good mid flight I would say. I have a smoother transition, and an earlier release, never had my clubbed speed measured but on a good drive I'm carrying it anywhere from 265-275 depending on conditions. For a little more background, I carry a 6 iron 200yds and a 46 degree wedge 150yds. My initial thought would be to pair with a Speeder 757 but thought I'd see what the people had to say before I pulled the trigger.

He uses a 661 in stiff in driver and 5 wood. Works great.

It’s an older shaft. Curious about the four (?)subsequent iterations of this iconic shaft.

So he would start with those.

Your numbers are oddly similar to mine, i use the 661 TS in X flex though. I just ordered the ts3 in 16.5 white the evenflow white 75X. i hit my 6 about 205, carry a 46 145 ish. I just got new irons and seem to spin them quite a bit more than my old ones, causing some yardage loss in shorter clubs.
