I have a RAZR Hawk 3 and 5 Wood but they were gifts from a relative and they have Regular flex shafts. When I can control the tempo enough to not bend the club, I'll make a decent shot, about 265-270 off the tee. I want to buy new shafts for those 2 clubs and I'm considering an x stiff but I don't know all the brands, or what any of the measurements mean. I just want a shaft that helps me control the ball more and I wouldn't mind sacrificing some distance. I also like to be able to feel the club meet the ball so I don't want it to feel soft with a new shaft. What should I get?? Also, I have an Edwin watts golf store nearby and was wondering if they do a good job fitting clubs. And if they are good, could I just get one club at a time done? And how does club fitting work? Do I need new clubs or can they fit my x20's and razr hawks to me? Thanks for helping me out

You ever hit a wood with an extra stiff shaft? If not go try and get back with us. You wanna stiffen them shafts up a little and gain accuracy, cut them down a little bit. I would recommend tinkering with the clubs like I do before you go buy expensive shafts or even the wrong ones. These fitter on here will tell you different but my opinion is just food for thought.

Yea I didn't think about shortening my clubs but I don't really have a problem with the length and I feel like if I get it too short it'll mess up my swing or something

I'm just a tinkerer man. I have always been of the do-it-yourself, figure out how to hit it stance. No offense to club fitters or those that swear by swing coaches and lessons. I just like the challenge of figuring out how to get that 1 iron to go straight or that driver to go right to left.

Very sound advice. many of the top brands are very similar. it really comes down to feel in my opinion and confidence in said shaft.

How do I feel different shafts without buying them? And if I go to a golf store and test a bunch of shafts, would it matter if The clubs are different than mine? Like if I go test shafts but they're attached to like a titleist fairway wood or a taylormade, and not may callaway razr hawk, would there be a big difference, or if the shaft feels good on those clubs, will it most likely still feel good on mine?

Try and fin the shaft u want to try with a club with about the same weight is the best I could think of. I have the same problem mine is club head speed of 120+ but I'm 6'6" 260lbs I have a burner ht with a stock stiff shaft I hit 300 pretty regular I went to a arouse of forged prototype xx and it is a ton of work play a full round it has been getting easier so the jury is still out for me I have however take a little slice out and added 25 yards I bought the same shaft with a rage black and can hit it out of the driving range pretty regular at 360 on the range finder however that is a 50inch long drive set up that being said when I don't hit it straight it just goes farther ob
