I am interested in purchasing the 716 MB's, and am wondering if I can order with an "A" flex, high launch steel shaft.  I am playing the 710 MB's with NS Pro 970 soft R shaft, but want more flex.  I am 72 years old.  I have all "A" flex shafts in my 910 driver, fairway and hybrids.  I am not interested in going graphite.  Thank you.  JAM

Hi James,  You can interchange any iron shaft that we offer with any of our iron heads.  We do offer a NS pro 970 L flex ladies steel shaft which is slightly softer and will launch higher than the A flex.  We don't have any other steel shaft that we offer in a softer flex than the A flex. 

Hi Cathi, thanks for the quick response.  I am unable to locate the NS pro 970 L flex steel shaft on your web page.  Can you provide the specific swing weight?  Also, do you mean the L flex ladies steel shaft is an A flex?  And can you clarify what you meant when you said it will launch higher than an A flex?  This shaft may meet my objective. Thank you Cathi,     James

I submitted the above request on November 3rd and did not receive a response.  I would greatly appreciate being advised of the swing weight, torque and trajectory  on the NS Pro 970 ladies flex steel shaft.  Thanks Cathi,    James A, M

Thanks Cathi for the above info.  To answer your question I would order the shafts one half inch short, 3 degrees flat with a standard mens grip.  Just two other items:  1). I would appreciate it if you could provide the torque for the NS Pro 970 ladies steel shaft and 2). Do you offer an A (senior) flex mens steel shaft as an alternative?  Thank you for your patience Cathi,  James A. M

Hi James,  The soft R flex that you are currently using is also known as the A flex and/or senior flex so the only shaft that is softer, that will launch higher is the L or ladies flex.  The torque is around 2.6.

On swingweight - if you are cutting ti 1/2" short of men's standard, the target swingweight on a set of 716 MB's with a standard grip at standard size would be C6 +/- 1.  As far as bending 3 flat, it can be done, but it is outside of our tolerance and will only be done with the acknowledgment that a slight crinkling of the chrome could possibly occur and would not be covered under warranty. 

Thanks Cathi, you have been most helpful.  It looks like the TT XP 95 soft R  is the better choice since I will order PW-5 irons one degree weak and the 3 and 4 irons two degrees weak.  What do you think?.  James A. M
