I am looking to put an 18 degree fairway wood (Titleist TSi2) in the bag to complete some gapping issues. I am looking for some good options for shafts.  I play the Diamana TB in my driver and 3 wood and I RELLY like how smooth they feel.  What else out there produces this same amount of smoothness with not crazy low torque? I am not a heavy loader.  My driver swing speed is 105.  I have been looking in the Mitsubishi and Fujikura line.  Anything else I should be checking out?  Thanks.

I can rattle off a bunch of other shafts that would work perfectly fine in a 5 wood. However they will in most cases have lower torque numbers, assuming you are going higher weight in the 5 wood. Are you wanting something different from the TB?

I could throw out Fuji Ventus Blue or Red just because it's so popular and most people seem to love it, but there are hundreds of shafts out there and a good number will work for most people if you get the weight correct.

I don’t know my driver swing speed.  I am about 240-250 carry max.  I have a Titleist 913F and have he 72g Diamana blue shaft.  It was the stock shaft but the pro who helped with my shaft selection said it was a very good shaft when he was checking out my equipment.   I believe the Titleist Tsi woods can use earlier model shafts.   I am decided whether or not to carry this shaft over over to a new Tsi when I buy it, or try other, newer ones.

I should have specified a weight, but I am looking for something in the 73-75 weight range.  So far I am going to check out the Mitsubishi Tensei AV Blue Raw, Fujikura Ventus Red, and Fujikura Atmos tour.  I am not familiar with the Graphite design shafts at all.

Any of those would be good shafts. Seems like most people I know of who had Atmos switched over to Ventus though.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
