AK: What's your ss and ballflight tendency? I have been experimenting with 660TR, 693 and Tour Release 26.3 in 9.5 TP heads. My ss is 108-110. I haven't played an NV in TP head, but I did have a NV 65 proto in a 983K last fall with good results, ball flight was a little too low for my liking, but it is a very solid combo. For me the Tour Release plays the softest (stiff flex tipped 1.5") of the bunch. According to Joe K., cpm reading was only 253 with tipping. Shaft feels loose when you waggle, but it holds up well even when you go after it. High trajectory, but not ballooning by any means. Easily workable with draw or fade. It has a nice lively kick at impact. The 660TR is one my favorite Fuji's. Have played it in 580 Tour, TP and 580 XD Tour. I tipped the stiff about 1". Shaft is very stable and gives a nice mid-high ballflight. In my 580 XD Tour this thing is straight as a string with plenty of roll upon landing. Shaft performs with a smooth, controlled swing or also stands up when you try to step on one and hit it hard. Currently testing a Fuji 693 (stiff tipped 1") in a 9.5 TP. To my surprise, this was a very good combo with the TP head. After speaking with Joe, he said the 693 is kinda like a lighter version of the Pro 95. Shaft loads and unloads nicely and ballflight is perfect. Mid-high trajectory that flattens out with a ton of roll. I also got a chance to hit my friends 580 XD Tour with Fuji Six. His Six is an X, tipped 1.25". All I can say is WOW! This thing was a monster. I thought the SIX was going to be too light and boardy feeling, but I was wrong. The 4.6 torque is not noticable and this shaft really holds up even on hard swings. No wonder it's the #2 played Fuji on Tour. His 580 XD is 8.5 loft. Good luck in your search. Thanks.

Josh: FAQ is correct the NV hybrids were made for .355 or .370 tip hosels. These hybrid shafts were specifically designed for hybrid clubs such as Mid-Rescue, etc. I just dropped a NV 105 in my 19 TP Mid-rescue and it's a super shaft. Nice smooth feel and kick at impact. Launch is mid-high and perfect for this club. I had to special order it and it took about 2 weeks. Good luck in your search.

John: Sent PM on Sonartec.
