Hi) I want to ask a question, maybe its silly))

I have a 5 wood taylormade r5 dual ti. With a stiff M.A.S 55 gram  mid torque soft tip shaft and D2 swing weight.

This is my "go to" club, and always goes long and sort of straight with a nice flight. 185-210 meters.

Now I need a 3 wood and maybe driver. Can I somehow see from this club I love what driver shafts and 3wood would do me good.

I know it's best to get fitted and I will. Just wondering 

 

And what does mid torque soft tip D2 shaft do for the swing??????

The simple answer is to find a 3 wood and/or driver with the same specs as your 5 wood.  As for what a particular shaft does for the swing; consider the difference, in general form, between the hickory and steel/graphite eras.  Were Bobby Jones alive and playing today; his swing would be built around the physical characteristics of whatever implements he chose to use.  If he stuck with hickory shafts, dot-faced scalpels, and persimmon woods...his swing would remain the same.  If, on the other hand, he used "modern" equipment; his swing would, of necessity, alter somewhat.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Depends on the golf shaft. 

D2 swing weight is not a golf shaft spec.

    • Day 293 6-24 Low point control work. Noticed most of my fat shots are coming when the shaft is steeper. Ill have a bunch of good swings and then have a real chunky, deep divot.
    • Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
