I know that this is a long shot, but maybe someone here can help.  About 25 years ago I bought a inexpensive set of woods from a local club maker in Pinehurst.  That business has subsequently gone out of business.  I really like the clubs but the shaft on my driver broke and I can't find something that performs similarly.  The shafts are red in color and written on them is the following " Tour TS  Low Torque-High Modulus Graphite Frequency Matched.  I am just getting back into golf after retiring and would like to find these same type (or similarly performing shafts).  I remember that the maker said that they were "senior flex" and possibly he got them in or near Columbia, SC.  I am not a good golfer (19 handicap) but would enjoy finding a shaft like these. Thanks.

Do you mean literally ‘you’ can’t find or a fitter hasn’t been able to find a shaft that performs well for you? There are hundreds of options out there and I’m sure you could easily find a shaft that’s easier  to find that would perform as well or better if you did a driver fitting.  @Adam C is a club maker. Maybe he can help....🙂

Are there any other markings on the shaft? What was the club head brand?

When it comes down to it, no shaft made 25 years ago could hold a candle to the quality of shafts made today, they were just far more inconsistent. If you have any other marking that could tell weight, flex, etc. Might also look under the grip and see if the shaft has any stickers or text at the butt end.

The simplest solution would be to go out and get yourself fitted.  Of course, that will wind up becoming expensive quickly, especially if you are buying an entire set.  As mentioned earlier there are multiple options, and shafts today are generally better than the older ones.

    • Day 521 - 2026-03-06 Got some good work in for 15 minutes or so with someone overseeing. Downswing work.
    • Day 201 3-6 Wider backswing trying to blend it all together for a full swing. Not looking good yet. 
    • Day 74 - 2026-03-06 Backswing work out back at the net. Slow.
    • Day 101: did a stack session. Worked on hands down in the mirror during breaks. 
    • Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
