The Helium 5F3 is the standout lightweight option for left-handed wood shafts, engineered for higher launch and easier clubhead speed without forcing compensatory swing changes. Its primary advantage versus the other models is reduced weight for players with slower tempos or those building lighter left-handed assemblies; it sacrifices a bit of the torsional rigidity of heavier, premium shafts but delivers strong value and ease-of-use for its intended fit.

Review Summary
"Owners applauded the Helium 5F3's ultra-light construction for noticeably faster clubhead speed and easier tempo, making it great for slower swingers and those seeking more distance. However, long-term users note reduced stability on off-center hits and a different feel compared with heavier shafts."

True Temper Dynamic Gold 120 VSS Pro
The Dynamic Gold 120 VSS Pro is a tour-proven, heavier-profile steel shaft prized for its low launch, tight dispersion and solid feel — attributes that make it a default market-leader choice for left-handed iron parts requiring maximum control. Compared with lighter options on this list (KBS Tour 90 and True Temper Elevate 95 VSS) it delivers superior shot-shaping and stability for stronger swingers, and its broad aftermarket availability and fitting pedigree often offset its premium price through better long-term playability and resale value.
