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 .

      Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.

      Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough.

      Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft.

      That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
