FW shaft question

[bames]

This is a two part question that I would like to hear some opinions on.

1) I currently have a SQ 5-wood that I really hit well (good ball flight and long - by my standards). I suprise myself sometimes. The problem I have is that it has a stock Diamana R-flex shaft in it that is a little less controllable than I would like. It can vary by about 20 feet one way or the other. Based upon data from Rock , it is a 60 gram shaft. I'm thinking about putting a 75 g. NVS shaft in it for control. I think the length and lack of good control come from the lightweight regular flex shaft. Do you think I might be tinkering with a good thing, or is that too much dispersion for a 5-wood?

1a.) How will the SW change with the heavier shaft?

2) I have a 65 g. NVS shaft that I would like to install in a Titleist 904F. Do I bother with tipping if it is a bore-through? (I have a smooth swing and need the added height of the NVS)

2a.) If I need to tip it, how much for the 904F is typical?

1 - 20 ft is pretty small dispersion with a 5 wood.
1a - As long as you leave the length the same the SW will increase by 1 point if you go to a 75 gram shaft.
2 - tip it 1/2 an inch less that manufacturer recommends.

Thanks Lyle, I knew I could count on your expertise!

Varies by 20 feet!? And that's bad?

I hate you...

To one side or the other! It is 40 feet total, which is usually good enough to be on or to just one side of the green, but I guess that since I don't really know which one will happen it chaps me a little. I don't mind if I don't hit something perfectly straight, as long as it is consistent, I can adjust. When I don't know, it bothers me.
