...I was also thinking, if the x-stiff Diamana reduces launch a little, could this be balanced by increasing the loft of the three wood? I also spotted that the Ping tour 65 seem pretty stiff in each flex class. E.g. this chart shows that the stiff tour 65 is pretty close in stiffness to the Tensei orange AV raw x-stiff. With both the Tensei and Diamana coming from Mistubishi, could this same trend apply again?

Hi everyone, I recently got fitted for a G425 Max driver, tour 65 shaft based on swing speed of 105-108 mph. I'm looking to purchase a PXG 0211 3 wood, but having trouble identifying the right shaft. I know that right answer is go for custom fitting, but that option is effectively out because the earliest appointment in any fitting centre within 100 miles of home is booked until early-December (bah humbug) and lead times are currently 6 weeks from order in the UK. I've been doing some research to work out the best bet for my 3 wood. I appreciate this is an educated guess without swinging the clubs in anger, but I was hoping the eminent swing gurus on these fine pages might be able to help me out? I think I've narrowed it down to the Diamana S+ 70g from available options (workings at the bottom of the post), but strangely struggling to work out whether stiff or x-stiff is required based on torque etc. Mitsubishi Diamana S+ is mid launch/spin, so a little 'higher' on both counts that the Ping tour 65 of my driver, but I thought not a bad thing for a 3 wood. 70g weight - thou shalt have a heavier shaft in thy 3 wood etc. Ping tour 65 has a torque of 3.4. Diamana S+ 70 in stiff has a torque of 4.0, whereas the x-stiff has torque of 3.5. On this basis, I wonder if the x-stiff is the better match. What do you fine and knowledgeable people think? Process of elimination: HZRDUS smoke yellow (probably to low spin and low launch for me) Aldila Green NXT (can't get past the fact I'd be looking down at an green shaft at address, sorry!) Project X EvenFlow Riptide CB (can't get past the fact I'd be looking down at a blue shaft at address, even though the cammo-style pattern looks phenomenal, sorry!)
