I recently purchased a Tour Edge XLD (Xtra Long Distance) 10.5 deg. 460CC Mega MOI Exotic driver that is fairly forgiving and easy to hit contact wise. The shaft is a Graphite Design S-Flex (Standard-Flex) Weight: 52 Grams, Torque: 4.5, Launch: Mid. Golf Pride Grip came standard with the driver. Comparing that to my Acuity Turbo Max 3-Wood, the 3 wood is much easier to shape in transition from back to downswing based on the shaft being a low torque shaft and having a smaller head. On a slightly heavier 55 gram shaft with the Tour Edge XCG head that my boss has, the head felt weightless compared to the shaft, which is a strong flex or less flex shaft, and was fairly easy to hit as well, but the 53 gram standard worked best for me and led me to my decision.

The diamana white, blue, and redboard shafts have some buzz.

For irons the Rifle Project X shafts are on fire . They're so good, and they look so awesome. I know a lot of people who are having those put in their irons and loving them.

...The shaft is a Graphite Design S-Flex (Standard-Flex)...

Actually that stands for Stiff Flex, not Standard

    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
