I play R300's in my irons and NS950 stiffs in my hybrids. The hybrids are a tiny bit stiffer feeling, but still very playable.

I swing driver about 94mph with a fairly smooth unload.

Hope that helps.
Thank you, this is exactly what I'm looking for!!

I was playing the Dynalite Gold S300 in my Mizunos and they were a pretty damn good fit for me (hindsight being 20/20 and all). They were in between the Dynamic Gold R300 & S300 and so it sounds like the Nippons are about in that same spot.
