I am not an expert clubfitter... but what club are you talking about... driver shaft, irons, hybrids, or wedges - definately makes a big difference.

Also... I think most of the replys are going to be... "it depends on the person" We know that we typically pay more for low torque shafts, but some people think they feel terrible. Aome people like flighted shafts, others don't. Some people want high launch, others want a stiff tip and low launch.

Sorry, meant driver shafts, its simply a question about what is regarded as the best driver/graphite shaft at the moment, some people will automatically say Aldila or Graffaloy, which I don't think is true as they mass produce, mass production causes lack of quality which means they can not be at the same level as a better made, lower production shaft?

Take a look at the Accra Series. They're a little heavier, low torque and made extremely well. Most places don't sell them: Golfsmith, Golf Galaxy, World of Golf.

You can, however, find them at any certified fitter. Expect to pay at least $200 . To have it pured and mounted is anywhere from $50 to $80.

I also tried the Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana Shaft. That shaft is about $300. I could not generate enough swing speed to make it work for me. You might want to take a look, though.

How about some Ozik or EPIC stuff?

I sound like a broken record sometimes, it all depends on what fits you and your swing. Otherwise if you just spend some dough, I have the

Matrix OZIK TP-7 or TP-7X that has an MSRP of $1200 of course I could offer you a discount. I have the TP-6 in one of my drivers.
