George, Thanks for the “heads up.” I’ll have to try one.
Another very good ultralight combo with just a bit more heft is the DTG-190 (or
a 193 gram BOM) with DT’s UL-45 R (or A for the ladies) and a normal 50 gram
Winn. I use a Winn DSI std black or midsize blue/black...the latter looks very
good with the U_-45 blue/grey graphics and Hireko blue ring wood ferrule. The R
runs about 48 grams (used four of them so far, all were at 48 grams). S/W comes
in about D2-D4 and total weight about 285-290 grams depending on grip used. One
5’2” lady who is a pretty good senior player and has been playing a 47½” driver
with SFK PE-A for some time, picked up almost 20 more yards with the DTG/UL-45A
combo...up to about 225 yards.
Though I haven’t measured the profile yet, the UL-45 “look” reminds me of the
old Aldila Longwood 50/50 “wide-body” with a bit longer taper toward the
tip...feels really solid and seems to hit the ball very straight with a
slightly higher trajectory using a 10.5° head. The tip is a bit fragile hitting
off mats...a woman with a “knee dip” in her downswing broke an A-flex off in
six swings hitting from a rubber tee in a worn mat over concrete. No problems
with normal tees for me and others so far.

Tried the new Integra 175 grain head with their 45 grain shaft,( R-239
feq) used the new LW 25 grain Winn grip. SW came in at C-9 @ 47.4".
This is a very hot comb, I have gained aver 20 yards, built one for a 69
year old lady, she can swing the 47.3" without a problem and really hits it
well. Not sure how much gain because it it cold & wet here (Texas). She is
longer then her summer shots when she has lots of roll.
Nice combo.
