OEM shafts are made for the masses and sometimes don't work well for all swings. So, the benefits of an aftermarket shaft is it's ability to get you dialed-in so that you're acheiving optimal performance. Also, after market shafts generally have tighter manufacturing tolerances and are of higher quality than OEM shafts.

That said, there are several OEM shafts that are high quality and will work just fine. The trick is finding a shaft that's right for your swing, whether that's OEM or after market.

Hope that helps.

Well, one benefit is that you are helping the economy and hopefully upgrading to a product that your swing will benefit from.  After market offerings allow you so many variations of flex, weight, kick point, torque, stability, tip variation, etc, that you can hopefully find something that gives you that ball flight that you are looking for.  The ideal would be to get the right shaft in the OEM brand, but if you are lucky enough to find a head, or a steal with the wrong flex, you can install that Diamana Whiteboard Flowerband that you have had your eye on.  I don't know why I picked that shaft for you other than it has a cool name.

There are only benefits if the stock shaft is a bad fit for your swing.  For the majority of golfers the stock shaft is good for their swing.  If you have a legitimate reason to switch then it's a worthy upgrade.

. During the 910 driver fitting , the stock RIP 60g S shaft is performing well with the 910D2 , but the aftermarket Diamana Kai'li 70g S is better . The feel , control , distance are better and it really help my drive to be longer and swing more effortless. Result ? Just won the Longest Drive in a golf competition ab 120 ppl at my club few days ago. It come with a TM R11 Cart Bag and a trophy .

What I Play:

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
