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.

    • Day 44. (15 Jun 24) - took yesterday off (was on the road all day, home after midnight kind of thing). Today was back to it - played local course as a solo.  Played one of my fave formats of rotating thru the tee boxes - adds dimension to the approach game.  Best part of the day was the wedge play with a first ever hole out eagle on the par 5 13th hole.  Drive was tight to the left needing a punchy iron to get back to the center of fairway.  Left about 80yds to the flag, figured an easy GW would leave me close for a birdie putt.  Caught it solid and watched it one hop into the hole….over all a good day of working on the game. 
    • As @iacas wrote “This applies to golf, too. Relentlessly chip away at whatever you’re seeking to change. It’ll add up over time in a big way.”  Have to say my work on key points is seeing consistent results -  slowly chipping away at a better approach game, leading to more GIR and nGIR which makes for easier pars and more up and downs.  
    • day 93. Chipping and practice getting a little more comfortable with longer irons 
    • 89.    Came less than a centimeter short of my first eagle. Had an ugly triple on the last too. But didn't lose a ball. Now in the last 3 rounds I have only lost 1 ball. 
    • Played the same course as yesterday today. 6,860 yards, 72.6. Scored better today. Shot a 37-38 for a 75 and did something I don't recall ever having done before. The par 5's run 522-646-523-557 and I birdied (or better) all of them. They only reason I turned in a respectable round was because I played them -5. I only hit one fairway on the front 9 and then hit 4 on the back. Only hit 9 greens today. I didn't hit the ball well at all today, but putted pretty decently. Just was in a weird swing funk. 8 bogies, 6 pars, 3 birdies, and an eagle.
