I just bought a SIM2 FW wood and none of the shafts offered were what I need. The stock shaft is a good one for 55 grams but I want weight in my FW woods with a low kick-point and lowish torque. Like between 3.8 to 4.2. I'd like the weight to be around 65-70 grams I'd like it to be in regular flex if that's possible. My older 7 wood has a Mitsubishi Diamana Red shaft but it was over tipped 10 years ago and just never got up in the air like I need. It's close but not quite what I want. Any suggestion before I do a major hunt? Thx

UST Mamiya Proforce V2, 57g and 3.7 torque. Have you checked out this line? What’s your budget?

Would need to know budget and length you plan on playing at but there are probably 30 off the top of my head that would all work fine. Obviously if you liked the Mitsu Red stuff, you can easily find a 70g raw shaft in R and tip it the correct amount but like I said there are plenty of options.

In all seriousness, if budget isn't an issue. Bring your FW to a place like Tru Spec and you'll get exactly what you need and even have opportunities to test a bunch of stuff first.

If you are on a budget, then I'd suggest getting on-line and ordering a GolfWorks or Hireko catalog. (Both are free) You can then brows golf shafts until your head explodes. Seriously, there will be a wealth of options in all kinds of price ranges that you can sort through. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys but I jumped the gun on this. Took the club out for two more rounds and hit it beautifully. I just didn't have faith in this shaft but now I am a believer. I was also feeling the pressure to hit a 7 wood that I just paid $300 for. It's the first new club I have purchased besides a driver in 20 years. I'll be buying some more of these woods for sure.

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
