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.

    • 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.

    • Day 18: drill swing in my garage after getting home from work. 
    • Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home).  Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections.  Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars).  Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green.  Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
