We all said this in another entry, but I'll summarize it here: shafts are THE most personalized part of any golf club. Do yourself a favor and get fitted. If you buy the shaft and installation, the fitting should be free.

$100 will give you plenty of choices for a new shaft, grip and installation

Since your fitter has seen your swing and has prolly gathered data on it, ask him what he recommends and then put it on the board so we have something to compare it to. Need to know what you're currently playing.

Once your fitter recommends a shaft for you, you might want to check eBay. They have a ton of golf equipment so its a good place to look for a cheap shaft.

That's exactly the shaft I was looking for, but since you offered it to the xd3 first, i will give him some time to respond. If he doesn't respond, i would love to put that shaft on the 905R that I have purchased. I'm located in California so it shouldn't cost that much to ship.

thanks, but really - how much can I sell it for? I barely dumped off my Mitsubishi LT-70 TP shaft, which is much more rare than the fuji.

Only THE BEST for TheSandTrap (even if the moderator forgets your birthday ) hehe.. sorry Erik, couldn't help it

I Don't think my offer is reasonable for xd3 - I sold a club on eBay to Hong Kong and shipping was $48 - that's 1/2 way towards a shaft, that will really fit him. If no new posts from him by friday - send me a PM with address and I'll find out shipping cost and let you know.

UST Proforce 65 or 75 are pretty good shafts and you can buy them for $30. I got on the launch monitor with my driver and a bunch of different shafts and found that the proforce 65 I hit dead center around 290. And I tried the Aldila NV, Graffaloy Blue, and a bunch of other hot shafts but the UST was the one that worked with my swing. I have an extra one that I pulled out of a BB Hawkeye. I'm not sure what the tip diameter is off hand but you're welcome to have it if it will help your game.

UST ProForce (purple/yellow) is IMHO one of the best out there. I still have it on my 3W and 5W (since 2003!) You can always install a ferrule to convert from 335 to 350 and vice-versa - about $1.50 @ golfsmith.com

    • The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.   
    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.   
    • So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all. 
    • Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
