I'm looking to go from regular to stiff shafts in my driver, 3 wood, and hybrid. I'm looking to spend under 200 dollars for the 3 of them. I know very little about shafts or shaft technology, so I have a number of questions. First, should I use the same shafts in all three clubs? Second, I could use a little help choosing the shafts. In the driver I want something that is 60-65g, mid launch and low-mid spin. In the 3 wood I want a shaft that is 75-80g, mid-high launch and mid spin. In the hybrid I want 85-90g, mid launch, and high spin. I have hit both the graffaloy prolaunch blue hybrid and aldila vs proto and liked them both, but the vs proto is way out of my price range, but are there any other shafts similar to that for much cheaper? Hitting a bunch of different shafts is impractical for me, so that's not an option. Thanks in advance.

On a side note, I have a Graphite Design YS-6+ FW in my 3 wood. Their website only has the weight of the driver shaft (65g), so what does anyone know what the FW version weighs?

Get yourself to a dealer who has a launch monitor and the new quick shaft fitting system.

You'll have to see your numbers and see what works best for you. As for the 200 dollars you'd like to spend, you're going to have a really tough time with that number especially considering installation cost as well as new grips.

Shaft questions are always really difficult to answer because there are SO many shafts out there that its really hard to recommend anything without seeing someones specs and actual swing/tempo.

Just dont be afraid to try different shafts... may be harder to find in stores but there are smaller companies that make great shafts. Not everyone can afford a proto by you but you can find shafts on sale or go with smaller companies, such as Harrison or Penley

    • Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.

    • The way to practice this is not at full speed, even if you do manage to "change" something. But no, not quite like that. That's a late lift, but you still have the early roll, and you stand up too much in that swing (likely in trying to "lift" — the "lift" is relative to your torso, not the ground).
