What can be considered as standard shaft weight for drivers? Assuming you want to use a 45" length driver.
Whats in my Golf Bag:
Driver: Nike Sumo 5000
5 Wood: Mizuno MP-001
Iron: Mizuno MX-950 5-PW
Wedge: Cobra FP 60 degrePutter: Odyssey 2-BallBall: Yellow balls

I thought it was 55-75 grams depending. I think 65 grams is about average weight for graphite driver shafts.

Average weight is probably about 65 grams. There is no standard weight, however. Varies from model to model.

Focus, connect and follow through!

What Blades4me and WUTiger said.
Generally people prefer to have some gradation in weight. For instance if you have 120g shafts in your irons, your short woods/hybrids would have 80/90g shafts and your driver 70g.
But nothing is set in stone, and the best way to find what is "standard" for YOU is to go get fitted and choose what feels best within the selection that gives you the best numbers for your swing.

What I meant is standard for most people. I know you must get fitted to get the right weight, but that is not called standard if you get custom fitted.

Then, to answer your question. Here are what you can find on the popular brands' websites, as "standard":

Entry level clubs: 50~60 grams, R & S flex Middle level : 60~70 grams, R, S, X flex High end or "TP": >70g (up to steel shafts, yes, on driver), S, X, XX, etc.
