Would it be a problem if my 3 wood and 5 wood shafts weight more than my driver's shaft?

My driver currently has a Stiff Fujikura Speeder shaft on it and the fairway woods i'm planning on buying have ProForce V2 85 Fairway Stiff on them.

I don't know much about shafts and i generally just buy what "feels good" to me but I was unable to find any shop here who has the 906F's with the ProForce V2 85 Fairway on them.

Edit: Just found out the Fujikura shaft is 78g while the ProForce is 85g..
Edit 2: Been reading online a bit and found out that a lot of people reccomend having a heavier 3wood shaft than driver shaft (~10g or more)
Anyone have a lighter 3wood shaft than driver shaft? or equal weights?

My driver shaft weight is 60g now but anything between 55-65g is fine for me. My fairway wood now is 70g and anything in the range of 65-75g is good for me. I think the TM Burner series fairway woods come with really light shafts but their driver shafts are really light as well.

I see, thanks :) So you do you have regular flex shafts? Do you like having ~10g heavier fairway shafts?

I use stiff flex in those weights and I do like the heavier fairway wood shafts gives me a more solid feeling when hitting. I've tried the TM Burner series fairway woods and the ball flight is very high with a lot of spin which I attribute to the light shafts.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
