Need help matching a shaft.

I'd check the KBS TGI 80 shafts or maybe the PGI 90 gram shaft hard stepped once.  I play the TGI 80 shafts and they are just a phenomenal shaft.

After reading a few other posts here and on other forums, It looks like the KE4 Max has the best forgiveness when hitting towards the toe. With the loft differences from the TS1, I'll have to figure out...

KE4max or STi2 question

I have a set of TS1 irons and really do like them but feel like I don't play enough to really get a consistent swing.  So, I am looking for a head that is a bit more forgiving on hits slightly out towards...

Club head coming loose

Since three different epoxies are having the same failure, I would rule out an epoxy issue. That leaves you with three possible issues: not enough epoxy used per shaft, poor shaft tip prep, poor hosel...

Both are hollow heads, one forged the other cast and one head (TS1) filled with a polymer. It looks like, from the specs, that the sti2 is actually a slightly smaller head but a slightly thicker top line...

I must have read the specs incorrectly. I'm just trying to find a shaft that can be stepped to a similar profile to the Modus 105 S that is lower cost to keep my build around 600 for 3-PW.

Reshaft W/S FG-17

I picked up a used set ( 3-8 ) of Wilson Staff FG-17 blades.  Do I use .355 taper tip to reshaft ? Any suggestions on a shaft and ferrule that would work well with this particular head.
