Nothing "blades" about them but the ball pings off the face and goes miles, mainly up but also long. Apparently the same trampoline tech in the driver face is now in the tacked on faces (if you want to chip over the green try the pitching wedge). The distances are quite consistent and they are satisfying to hit except for the fact that they feel super light. Because they go so ridiculously high i want to replace the 85g whizzmasters with a set of rifle FCM 6.5s, also to add some weight. SW with 85g shaft is D2 ish, can someone tell me what changing shaft will do to swing weight? Because the whole unit feels so light, I suspect that the heads are lighter than a standard club head. Im aiming for around D3-4 and am happy to lose a little shaft length to get this, can anyone tell me how this would pan out?

Wow, I think you'd be best served going to a Pro or fitting centre than getting a shitload of unwarranted suggestions on here...
Good luck with it!

Sounds like a Virge question, isn't he a mate of yours?

Jado...re driver..huh? as in what is it...11 degrees and the draw(U) setting...as in do i like it...yes, it wont go left, it looks like a golf club, the ball barely spins, sound is mint... what do i notice most about it? the shaft is stout, i whack it and i get nothing back from the tip (less than fubuki x)...is it long? not especially - same as everything else (except 15 yards longer than the SLDR)

You might crack it minus 1/2" length. I did similar with my Burner 2.0's (identical concept as was the Burners prior and rocketbladez) but did it easier than you due to liking KBS which are counter balanced.

I have s300's in my set of speed blades with the 5 iron playing at 38.5, they feel alright not sure of the swing weight but i got them from taylormade with the shafts in them.

That's 1/4" over the stock standard length with light shafts, see if you can get them on a SW scale.
