Also, remember I'm talking STi, not STi2. From what I see, the STi MOI is 14.26.

Shafts/builds like XXIO or Honma

I bought a couple of Honma XP-1 fairway woods and love the way they swing.  The supposedly R flex 53 gram shafts feel like fishing rods, haha.  But they somehow provide good timing and control.  I had...

Shaft profiles like the UST DHI iRN R shaft?

Britt, You seem to have a profile database.  I like the UST DHI aka iRN R flex shaft, but would like to find something with a bit less torque to test.  Steel or graphite.  Can you find anything in...

Shaft comparable to Atmos Blue non-tour

If you go to fujikuragolf.com/legacy-shafts, you can find the Atmos Blue.  Then click the button to find the current match.  I did it, it said Ventus Blue.
