Try something WAY weaker, and you'll like 'em fine.
I'm TOTALLY satisfied with my HG's which are somewhere in the X-100 (dynamic range). But, sometimes I have a student with Rifles and I want to demonstrate something. Like I said, I've tried all their flexes. Weak is horrible, stiff is less horrible, it doesn't matter. HG doesn't use Rifles, so it's of no consequence. HG also SST PURE's all of their shafts. I don't think there's another company in the market that goes that extra mile.
IMO....Rifles suck.....They play very stiff and quite inconsistent...
I have rifles and am not a fan of how they feel; thinking about trading in the clubs because of the shafts, actually. That being said, I know others who seem to like them.
Has anyone tried Tom Wishon clubs? If you have, what do you think?
I play a full set of Wishon clubs. The only club I don't like all that much is the driver. Tom's drivers are mostly setup for people who need help getting a higher launch angle. I don't really need that. The fairway woods are awesome. I play the 515GRTs in both 3W and 5W. I shafted them with Aldila NVS75 in stiff flex. They are easy to get up off the deck and hit it a long way.
I also play Wishon hybrids for my 3I and 4I replacements. Very iron like club and easy to hit. I have these shafted with Grafalloy Blue Pro Launch hybrid shaft in stiff flex. They are still a little soft, but that makes it easy to hit'em high.
I play the Wishon 550s in my irons with Harrison Premier Lite 85 steel shafts in regular flex. Nice lightweight steel shaft. I play the blades up to 6I and the 5I is the cavity back. These are solid irons. They are very controllable and not hard to hit for blades. Trajectory is medium for me.
Finally I went with a 52* / 58* wedges to go along with my PW. I picked a 56* / 60* of different styles to get the wider sole I was looking for and had Wishon cherry pick / bend to get me the loft I wanted (they are very good about that). Both clubs have smallish bounce (8*), but a wider sole. This is a nice compromise that lets me play'em from the sand as well as the fairway.
All in all Wishon's clubs are very high quality, the service is great, and the price is reasonable. Everything in my bag at the moment is a long term keeper except the driver.

I play the 915 CFE driver with InterFlexx shaft and I love it
