The weight of the shaft is more to help out with your tempo. If you feel like you get quick with your driver often then pick a heavier weight. If your tempo is always smooth then pick the lighter one.

Whats in the bag?

Fairway Wood = Wishon Golf 915 F/H 16* Square Face Angle

It's not just weight, torque is quite different too. Check out:
