I can't figure this out even with googling for the last 2 hours

Rafi: I'll break it down for you. They all go long and straight. Except for whatever one you choose for your driver. It's that simple.

Fuji is shaft of the year. Stock shaft in the new r7s, Callaway X drivers and woods, MacGregor NVG2, etc. I picked up a brochure about all their various shafts at the PGA Show. I'll dig it up and see if it has any useful info.

I do know that they've segmented their shafts into three categories: Exclusive designs for OEMs (like the r7 and NVG shafts), aftermarket/exotic shafts that you can buy as a consumer or order custom from OEMs (like the Speeder, Vista Pro, Tour Platform, etc.), and shafts for custom fitting/clubmakers. They also hired a former top guy with Aldila last year, and that's helped their relations with the big OEMs a ton.

in the bag today:
Driver: TaylorMade R9 10.5° (Fujikura Motore 65 stiff)
3-wood: Tour Edge Exotics XCG (Aldila DVS Fairway 75 stiff)
hybrid: Sonartec Md 21° (UST Proforce V2 Hybrid 85 stiff)
4-PW: Titleist 755 (Titleist TriSpec Regular)Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design 252.08 bent to 50.5° (Oil...

thanks guys, but now I'm more confused than I was before. Looking and these pages I guess I could exclude some of them (high swing speed) being an old fat f#%$ck, but other than that... is there really any difference in "medium/high" and "high" or "medium" for launch angle and ball spin? What I'm getting at - is it really a thing of "feel" and "like" between the high-end shafts, once you exclude the obvious ones that don't fit you?

Fitting shafts without hitting them is the hardest thing. There are no standards as to what makes a reg. vs. a stiff flex, for example, and who knows what the difference is between mid and mid-high ball flight.

The only way to find out is to hit the different shafts and get a feel for them yourself. There are just too many variables to make anything other than a semi-educated guess otherwise. Sorry Rafi, you'll just have to spend a couple hours hitting balls at a good demo day. Poor guy.

The descriptions are so hard to judge. For example, the Graphite Design YS-6+ and the Aldila NVS are supposed to be very similar. But for me, the GD is an unpredictable noodle and the NVS is solid. Go figure.

So, you must be thinking about a new driver. Which one?

Rafi is ALWAYS thinking about a new driver!

And as to which one, just so long as it says "TaylorMade" on it I don't think it matters much to him.
