John, (and anyone else who has used these), what's been your feedback
on these shafts?
I'm thinking of replacing my old Diawa Hi Trac irons (r flex TR
shaft) with Tom Wishon's 951XA's and a good iron shaft. I have a 5i swing
speed of 70+ mph, 1 wood at 44" 90 to 94 mph. Kinda smooth tempo.

Jen,
Regarding tips for next time:
Leave an extra inch on the butt end of the club to give room to make
weight adjustments to the head until the target SW is exactly where
needed.
After you have reached your target cpms (assuming you have a freq. meter).
Prior to assembly you can double check your
