Swingweight TS3

All I will say about your fitting is that D7.5 is the result of how they do their fitting clubs (with the fitting adaptor they use) and is not something we would do or agree with.  That being said, if...

Gappping long irons/hybrids

Difficult to know exactly how you will hit whichever one of the TS-UI's compared to the LTD hybrid.  Based on just looking at the lofts, it would make sense to go with the 20 to give you the 4 deg. gap,...

The HiWay Utility would be a good choice, but he haven't carried it since 2022.  Hybrids are a choice, but since you have tried those and are looking for something better, a #5 wood or #7 wood can really...

Maltby MPF Pro Series + Graphite Hybrid Shafts R or S ?

Maltby Pro Series+ vs. Fujikura Pro in a Short TE+ Iron Set Build

My question is do you actually have an excessively left miss with the Pro Series+ S flex or do you just think you might?  Honestly, nothing in the shaft dynamics of any of the shafts you mentioned can...

Profiles: Score LT vs FST 125

When looking at the profiles of the raw blanks, difficult to get a direct comparison because the Score is a 41" R/S combination flex blank and the FST 125 is a 43" S/X combination flex blank.  That being...

UST Mamiya Helium

Helium is the softest overall profile.  Core Blue 50 R would be the closest, but much more a traditional R flex.  The Helium is definitely on the soft side of R flex averages.  Core White 50 R would...

Maxflex is about the highest launching shaft I can think of.  Could try it in the A flex for a little more flex.  Other than that, might try Cypher, the Fuji Vista Pro or Re3coil Dart 460 ESX.  On paper...
