Hello all, Backstory Recently upgraded from g25 driver an 3 wood both in stock reg to g30 driver tour reg shaft. I swing driver approx 100mph, I'm loving this new tour reg shaft getting much better ball flight an dispersion. My question is do I go for the same shaft tour reg in the g30 3 wood? Or do I go stiff. The reasom for the upgrade was my ball flight on the 3 wood was ridiculously high. I ask this cause I know my pro shop won't have one In to try out. What do you chaps think? Thanks gtah

Do you have a car, truck, or motorcycle? If yes, then find a place that will allow you to test both shafts (or more shafts). You are correct to ask which shaft to use, but you should actually hit them before you buy them to see which one gives you better accuracy/distance combo. Yes I think accuracy is more important than distance.

Find a shop with a launch monitor - or better yet, an outdoor expo with a launch monitor. Do a side-by-side comparison to see which one works best.

Regular and stiff can vary in comparable stiffness for different shaft models. Fellow 'Trappers talk about this all the time.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I don't know about the 3 wood but based on the testing I did with the G30 driver I'd suggest you go with the stiff shaft.  I have about the same swing speed and found that I lost distance and had a larger dispersion with the regular shaft.
