I've played with the Aldila NV 75g shaft in my 3w for a few years now but I'm considering switching to a lighter weight shaft. Has anyone else reshafted or bought a fairway wood with a lighter shaft? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My CB1 3wd has the stock Exotics NV 65g installed, I really don't notice much of a difference.

I'm doing the opposite. I went from the 65g shaft in my old cobra to a 65g stock Adams speedline shaft
and now I have an 81g ust v2 in my 906. I prefer heavier shafts.

In general the lighter the faster but also a bit tougher to control. I prefer lighter shafts in all my clubs except irons and wedges because I could use the little bit of extra speed and don't have trouble controlling them

Same here. I went from the stock 65g shaft to an 83g shaft. I also prefer a heavier shaft in my fairway woods.

    • 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.
