I have a little 7 wood that I use as my hybrid.
I've had it 15 years, it had a regular flex Dynalite Gold steel shaft in it.
I could hit long and high, long and low, fade, draw, take a bit off, add a bit on - the lot
Brilliant club.
Due to a combination af age and being dropped firmly(:whistle:) it suffered shaft snappage!

Got it reshafted with the same Dynalite regular shaft...

And now it feels so completely different I can't do anything with it
I've been swinging quite well recently but I can't make a good contact with this 7 wood anymore.
Spent an hour at the range this morning, Driver and fairways going well, irons sweet, wedges sweet, 7 wood all over the place...the only way to get a half decent contact is to swing so slowly it feels like I'm going backwards in time and the ball flies as far as a 6 iron...

Hugely Frustrating!!!!:angry:
 
Whilst in name it was the same shaft is it possible that in the interim years the shafts have changed and therefore your original shafts equal is in fact a different shaft

Just a shot in the dark pal..... But if you have the old shaft try counting the steps on it ad see if their like for like..... It may have been a misplaced label as well..... Never know.

Any suggestions regarding the Converse?
 
It sounds as though the 'same' shaft is different. Given you have to swing slow to get any kind of connection I'd say it is too light.
Same make and model but is it the same build as it was 15 years ago?
what is the exact shaft you had put in?
