I am comtemplating upgrading from my Cally FT-3 with Speeder 553 to a Cally FT-5. I am very tempted to stay with the 553, but I figured (a) I may like a slightly heavier shaft, and (b) the Rombax technology is supposed to have better dispersion with the 460cc heads.

What differences would I notice in ball flight with the Rombax shaft (I suppose 6W06 is the closest to the 553)?? I am somewhat concerned about the torque being 3.8 versus 3.4 in the 553. I'm not bold enough to say I can tell a difference, but I have always seemed to prefer shafts with lower torque ratings (e.g., 553, 757, Graf Blue, etc.).

Thanks for any assistance. These are pretty expensive shafts to be "trying".

the rombax series has a firmer tip feel over all. so even with the higher torgue it plays beefier' if that makes sense. very tight shot dispersion i get with them and thus i feel do work better with the larger cc heads. if the upgrade for th enew rombax is not to much.. i think you will like it.
