3-Wood Compliment to Tensei White 1K????

[Insidious2]

Trying to figure out what 3-wood shaft to pair with the 60g 1K White X Flex I have in my driver?

I’d go AV Raw White. Very similar feel but a touch softer while maintaining the same profile.

I'd do this or Tensei Blue.  It will be a slightly higher launch (not much) and spin making it easier to work and hold the greens.  If you like the feel of the 1K, I would stay within the Tensei family.

I play the 1K 70S in dirver and the CK pro white 70S in 3 wood. Not as much $$$ as driver shaft but very similar feel. I actually have the CK pro white 90S into my hybrid as well

Trying to figure out what 3-wood shaft to pair with the 60g 1K White X Flex I have in my driver. Really just looking for very similar feels, but with low spin and  mid/high launch in the 80ish gram class.  This going be going into a 15* TSR2; driver is TSR4.  Swing driver around 110-115.

 

I have not been able to find or hit the Tensei Blue XLink in 80/X flex but have heard the feels may be different?

 

Anyone have any recommendations for me?

The next best thing would be the 1K Pro Orange 80X as it feels similar but it's counterbalanced.  You would have to add some weight to the head on the 3 wood if it feels too light.  Another option in the MCA family would be the Kai'li white 80X or TX.  It feels just a touch more stout IMO and wasn't as smooth for me but was very stable with the same low/low profile.  The Ventus Blue TR 8X would be a good compliment as well if you need something that launches a little higher with low spin.  It has a hint of kick but still smooth like the 1K.

Is it foolish to put a 1k tensei white xstiff into a TM sim2 ti 13.5 rocket 3 wood?  To be used off the tee as a driver at 43.25?

I play a 1K white in the driver.

 

I use a mini driver and i have a 1k white and a 1k pro blue I rotate between for the mini.

No it's not as long as you get enough height and launch.  I personally love the 1k white/1k orange off the tee with 3 metal, although I would play it with a 15-17* head.
