Bernie, Not in "A" flex, I did try in "R" flex and the flight was to high ( my ball flight is high ). Actually, the shaft broke on me and I did get a replacement (n/c). The shaft felt OK but the Lite Rev feels tighter and the snap is there. What is amazing that my son was able to hit it a mile ( k

Charlie, Good info on the Lite Rev A. Don't think my FL-50 R is much different...kind of a soft R. I can speculate that with a 7.5, you'd need a soft shaft to get the ball up at all. At times, my 9 seems to hit a pretty low ball, but it does carry well and rolls well. Have you tried a Pure Energy

I think the SRV II is the best all around Bang head I've hit, including the P2, P3 and 525. The trajectory is a little lower than typical for large Ti heads. The sound is significantly more muted than most Ti heads, which I like. The head seems quite forgiving and as long as anything but the 52
