I have the stiff in my R5. I have a long swing and don't load the shaft too much and I really like this shaft. I can only compare it to the stiff Fujikura Tour 60 that I had previously. It is quite a bit softer and more responsive than that one. I'm enjoying the combination of shaft and R5 neutral head. It is long and really straight. I've also found that if I give it a little extra with my right hand through the hitting area I can get a nice little bit of extra height and distance without losing to much control. Fun.
