Just got back from the range.

Last weekend, my Golfsmith order arrived and I reshafted my 3-wood and my 2 Hybrids.
I was dying to hit my new shafts, and I'm thrilled with the changes!

I've been using an NV in my driver for a while, but my 3-wood and Hybrids have always had steel shafts. I changed my 3-wood to an NV-85X, (my driver is an NV-75X), and I reshafted my Hybrids with a pair of Graphite Design YS-9.1+.

The 3-wood is BUTTER!

And hitting the Hybrids now feels like a well struck iron! The steel shafts always felt too "whippy" because the 3-wood and Hybrid heads are naturally heavy. I was using TT X-100's in them, but it still felt like I wasn't "connected" to the head.

These new shafts are lighter and much less whippy, so it really feels like hitting irons.
Everything feels so much more solid and in control. It's like, "Point and shoot".

It appears that the extra NV and the two YS-9's are the best money I ever spent!

Oh, and I also changed all of my grips to Tour Velvets. It's the first time Ive ever used them and they feel pretty good. I'm not sure if i like them better than Tour Wraps, but I will give it some time to make that call.

But the shafts?

Cha-ching!

Hybrid:(2) Golfsmith Quick Strike Tour, 21,18-deg., YS-9.1+Irons: Golfsmith 600-B Forged Blades, 2-PW, TT X-100, All Soft-stepped/Lofts 2-deg. upright.Wedges: Golfsmith 52, Cleveland 56,...

Nice, why didn't you try the six wood shaft from graffaloy, those are really nice. Also nvs shafts are amazing for hybrids, the ball dosen't balloon but goes high and the wind dosen't touch it. It's kind of like the NV, with more distance and air time.
