I think my driver shaft has gotten more wippy over time.

When I got it, it was a soft regular. Now I think it's more like a L flex.

I've heard conflicting views on this in the past. Some say that modern graphite shafts are so finely engineered that they last forever, mainly because of the recent advancements in carbon fiber. Then some say that all shafts wear as they are used in golf, from bag wear, and from temperature changes.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

If they do, it won't be noticeable to you.

James, I would imagine you feel that way because you have gotten stronger and/or load the shaft differently than you did before.
