I'm considering reshafting myTour Edge Exotics xcg5 3 wood, replacing the stock Fujikura Blur shaft with a MItsubishi Diamana Blue Board.  The Blur is a 65 gram shaft, stiff flex.  I have a Blue Board 73g in my D910 driver, and have read many comments here advocating the BB as a "great FW shaft".

The BB is available in 63,73,83,93 gram shafts - so I'm looking for advice on selecting a shaft weight for my 3 wood.  I am leaning toward either s 73 or 83.  My swing speed with a driver is 95-100 mph, and I hit my 3 wood 220 - 235 yards.

I welcome your advice...

I've got a set with 65ish gram, a set with 70ish gram and a set with 80ish gram shafts. It's all a matter of preference. My thing is I refuse to waste a $300 shaft on a fwy or hybrid. Those kind of shafts only go in the big dawgs for me.

I had the same issue with my 3-wood.  I really liked the shaft in my 910D3 (ahina 72-gram).  I put the exact same shaft in my 3-wood and love it--in fact it's my favorite club.

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
