Best Steel shaft to get??

[Rosmo]

I just got a Aldila NV 65 shaft for my Driver and I love it. That got me thinking I really need something different for my Hawkeye 3-wood. It just has a stock graphite shaft on it right now and it is way to whippy.

I was looking at getting a Dynamic Golf Lite steel shaft, so I was wondering what the Shot Talk faithful had to say....any recommendations??

Thanks,
Rosmo

Shafts are so hard to recommend. They work so differently with everyone's games.

Your best bet is to go hit some fairways with steel in them, see how they feel. Don't worry so much about distance and control, just how they feel on solid shots and poor ones. The VFT will feel much different, but the shaft will react relatively the same.

I have a stock OEM Uniflex in the 7 wood, I couldn't tell you the difference between it and my DG's, it's that good....

Yeah Rock you make a very good point about them being different for everyone...I think I just put caution to the wind and get it and if it doesn't work then I'll go with something different. They guy at the pro shop is a good friends and installs them for free and the shafts are cheap so its not a huge deal.

See, that's a sweet setup.

Go buy 5 shafts and try them all. The bitch is finding hosel adapters for the VFT, but they're like 85 cents at Golfsmith. Get 5 of those and pick the shaft that works the best for you.

Try the DG, DG Sensicore, Royal Precision Rifles, maybe a TT Lite and something else off the beaten path.

Then, hit the bahjesus out of it and pick the one that rocks your world.

Let me know. I'm curious to see how the experiment goes.

Yeah I well definatley do that and let you know. Speaking of a bitch to find, the guy who installed the Aldila shaft in my 975 J had a hell of a time finding the right plug for it, he talked to several companies who all had them on back order. Finally he talked to one of his buddies who happend to have some just lying around.
