Diamana Blueboard 63-X vs. 73-S (and a Pershing 65-S too)

In a Ping G10 (Switching from a BB 83-X)

So a few months back I took out the Pershing 65-S from my G10 to a BB 83-X. It was a big change that's for sure, when I really go at it and hit it well it flys, 280-290 avg and some 300+ drives no problem, but more recently if I back off and try to be more accurate I'm losing a lot of distance, closer to 250. I bought the shaft to try it out because I got a really good deal on it, but it's obviously too heavy and way too stiff for me, I do really like the feel of the Blueboard though. About 6-months ago, I was fitted for a Blueboard 73-X in a FT-5 during a Callaway fitting. I know it was an FT-5 and Callaway so I'm not going to get the same results in my G10, but I'm more worried about feel and consistency rather than launch monitor numbers. I love feel of the G10 so I want to find something that works. A couple weeks ago I was at a different Callaway Performance center hitting some drives on the launch monitor with my current G10 and the pro recommened a shaft for me that would be on the softer side of and X or the stiffer side of a S, hence why I'm looking at the 63-X and 73-S, I figured that would be about in that range? I'm looking for some thoughts and advice. Personally I think I'm leading towards the 63-X, I like the fact that it would be slightly lighter than the 73 but still a bit stiffer, the one thing I'm worried about is the torque being 0.6 higher than the 73-S at 3.6 vs. 3.0 (FYI the 83-X is a 3.0 toruqe too). Am I going to notice a big loss in accuracy because of that 0.6 torque difference, or will the X-flex compensate for that a bit? Thanks in advance for the help, Merry Christmas to everyone.

fubuki= smooth feel and mid launch of BB and low spin of WB. I'm in the same boat as you flex wise. I think I'm gonna go 63-X. Give the fubuki 63X and 73S a shot if you can get your hands on either. Not sure if ur into square drivers, but you can try both in an ft-iq tour at most golf shops just to get the feel. But to help answer your other question, you will not notice any difference in accuracy w/ the .6 tourque difference. If anything, the heavier shaft will probably be more accurate even though the tq is a tiny bit higher and the flex is a few cpm's lower. Heavier is better for accuracy but you'll hit the 63x farther.
