Hello all, Backstory Recently upgraded from g25 driver an 3 wood both in stock reg to g30 driver tour reg shaft. I swing driver approx 100mph, I'm loving this new tour reg shaft getting much better ball flight an dispersion. My question is do I go for the same shaft tour reg in the g30 3 wood? Or do I go stiff. The reasom for the upgrade was my ball flight on the 3 wood was ridiculously high. I ask this cause I know my pro shop won't have one In to try out. What do you chaps think? Thanks gtah

Do you have a car, truck, or motorcycle? If yes, then find a place that will allow you to test both shafts (or more shafts). You are correct to ask which shaft to use, but you should actually hit them before you buy them to see which one gives you better accuracy/distance combo. Yes I think accuracy is more important than distance.

Find a shop with a launch monitor - or better yet, an outdoor expo with a launch monitor. Do a side-by-side comparison to see which one works best.

Regular and stiff can vary in comparable stiffness for different shaft models. Fellow 'Trappers talk about this all the time.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I don't know about the 3 wood but based on the testing I did with the G30 driver I'd suggest you go with the stiff shaft.  I have about the same swing speed and found that I lost distance and had a larger dispersion with the regular shaft.

    • Why?  You would never be waiting on me.  I am one of the fastest players you will ever run into on the golf course.  I am extremely fit and almost always the first to the green and the first to the next tee box.  When I play with my 16 year old step son who is a 3 handicap, he tells me to slow down.  Also,  what does it take me?  40 seconds round trip to walk off 30 yards?  (which is the max I walk off)  I like to have a look at the break around the hole which helps me to hole out chips which I did for birdie from 27 yards just the other day.  I also do this while waiting on my playing partners to catch up to me so you need not worry about being irritated, I can pretty much guarantee you that you could not keep up with me on the golf course.  🙂
