What 5/7 wood shaft do you use?


Recommended Posts

Recently added a 5 wood at 19.5deg to the bag. Looking for shaft recommendations. 

 

For driver/3wood I was fitted into VA Nemesys stiff 55/65. 3 Hybrid was fitted into Motore X F1 7S. Currently using a Hzrdus smoke yellow 60S in the 5 wood but wanted to try some other options. Number with current shaft are decent with 15.5ish launch angle and 4600ish spin. Overall I like the ball flight and the shaft works well. I am just looking to tinker. 
 

Was thinking about trying a Hzrdus smoke blue RDX or a Motore X F1 7S but any other shafts with complimentary profiles that I should look at?

Ventus red in the 7 wood. Also play it in the 3 wood. Don’t carry a 5 wood. But likely switching to a TS2+ in 14.5 turned up to 16 to play as a 4 wood and then transition to the 7 wood (swapping a Ventus Blue into it to lower ball flight).

I use the RDX Smoke Blue in my 3/7W Paradyms - its counterbalanced but I like that type of feel in my fairways (as opposed to my driver, which is a Ventus Blue).  I'm a big fan of the RDX - don't think you can go wrong with it.

Ventus blue 7/8 is perfect for 5 and 7 woods depending on length of shaft and head weight.  I have hit everything and not found anything even close to as consistent

 

I play all FW's an inch short with added weight in the head for swingweight purposes and thank God everytime I play that someone convinced me to try it several years ago.  Not only do I gain accuracy and consistency, but I have not lost any distance at all because I hit the middle of the face so much more often.

Ventus BlueTr 7x in 5wd.  Still haven't put enough range / course time yet. So far the ball flight is mid flight with no ballooning.
