Of course it is very hard to demo this type of thing. ($60-$200)įor high end, Fujikura, Mitsubishi, or Graphite Design ($200+) Bit higher torque, a bit softer.įor on a budget I would go with UST or Aldila. If you like the clubhead you have, not a bad optionĪldila has some good shafts for moderate swing golfers. They can create some low spin low launch shafts. I would say for fast swingers of the golf ball, and want to upgrade of an OEM Shaft, go UST for budget shafts. Tour AD DI and BB are pretty popular on tour The red launch signifies a higher flight and spin and the blue profile provides mid launch and spin performance. The ATMOS has a consistent, smooth feel launch profiles to fit a wide spectrum of swings. I do think some shafts just stand the test of time.įujikura Speeder 757 (from the late 90's), the new one looks very good The ATMOS line has a similar design profile to the Tour Spec version, but is geared towards fitting a wider spectrum of golfers. I had success with the 'ahina 70 in the 910D2, but it just a bit too spinny for me. The Fujikura and Diamana work well for me. Though I swing fast and have a very aggressive swing. Both clubs are fantastic and the shaft combinations work well. Basically the difference is the tip section, meaning for manufacturers the tip is usually not as stiff. Their normal shafts are usually x5ct or something like that, while their for manufacturer shafts are like "g 35 t." So if you see a Diamana shaft with the x5ct on it, it is the authentic one even if it has Titleist name on it. I know Mitsubishi will put a different annotation on theirs. Great point, name brand has a huge markup as well, APPLE!!!. Sometimes it's just about what's hot, and companies charging what they can… So use our TrueFit Clubs Fitting Wizard or visit our Performance Fitting Centers and see what driver head and shaft combination works best for your swing.Don't forget, too, that some $1000 shafts cost $2 more to make than a $100 shaft. What we look for in shafts are consistent weights, flexes and profiles so building to our customer's specifications is easy and provides superior performance. What we look for in driver heads is consistently low spin, accurate loft readings, and the most forgiveness (highest MOI, usually) on off center hits. We test all of these shafts in our profiling system (more here.) and help our users understand how to navigate the launch(trajectory) and spin characteristics of each shaft (more here as well). Some manufacturers, like Graphite Design, OBAN, Project X and Mitsubishi Chemical focus on higher end shafts while comanies like ACCRA Golf and Fujikura feature a wide range of price points. The new Project X Even Flow Black and for some the Blue has really started to take on due to its higher torque-better feel.
