Help selecting shaft

[Rochester]

I just purchased a MacGregor Mactec NVG2 9 wood off E-bay. It has a regular flex shaft. I purchased this because I want to try a 9 wood, and I already have the matching driver, 3 wood, and 7 wood. I hit them all very well, HOWEVER, they all have STIFF shafts. The shafts are proprietary Fujikara shafts, that they call "Triple-Action." The stiff shafts weigh 64 gr. and have a torque of 3.6. They have the same design on them as the Fujikura Speeder, but rather than Speeder, it says Fujikura. That leads me to believe that they might be related to the Speeder, but I really have no idea.

I am going to try to see if I can hit the regular shaft without spraying shots, but many have commented that the stiff shaft on these clubs is more like most manufacturers' regular shafts, so I'm starting to look on Ebay for a pulled shaft that might be comparable. Swing speed with my driver is around 105 mph. Most drives are in the 250-275 yd range with a 10.5° loft. I hit the ball fairly high. Any suggestions about what I might want to look for? There seems to be a lot of Fujikura Fit-on E360 shafts available. Would one of these work?

If I have to pay too much for a pulled shaft, I'll probably just try to buy another Mactec NVG2 club with a stiff shaft, swap the shafts out and sell the club with the regular shaft. If I buy a 3 wood or 5 wood, would I want to shorten the shaft by cutting the butt or the tip? I'll have a pro shop do the swap, but would like to know the ramifications of which end gets cut.

Thanks for any help you might offer!

Well if your shortening the shaft I think they do it at the butt of the shaft.

the pro will know whats best to do.
