Hi Guys,
It’s great to see that FST is producing their basic shaft (again) and you are able to get them. I have used the FST 115 Pro (stepless) in the past and love them I see we are only able to get the FST 115 (stepped) now. How does the stepped perform compared to the stepless version? (the stepless feels quite soft and wondering if the stepped is a little stiffer)

Based on the profiles in our data base, the Stepless are slightly stiffer in the tip, but the Stepped are slightly stiffer in the butt section. Mid sections are similar. Have not compared the playability difference side by side in a long time and I’m not sure most would be able to tell much of a difference in ball flight. That being said, and generally speaking, with the variances in the tip and butt sections there could be some feel difference, depending on the player. Along those lines, some will say that Stepless dampens the feel more than Stepped. Overall the variances in the butt section stiffness and tip section stiffness might balance out, one being slightly stiffer in the butt section, the other in the tip. In all the years we have used and sold it, I really have never seen a pattern of comments or information that indicate there is a noticeable difference in performance, only a slight feel difference for some.
