Hi,

I was just curious to see what you guys think about shafts and their

manufacturers...

IMO, Fujikura is one of the best.

Hi,

ipark1303,

Accuflex, Matrix, Harrison, Graphite Designs, Fujikura, Mitsubishi Rayon, UST (including Accra and Harmon subbrands), Royal Precision, True Temper (including Grafalloy), and Aldila all make equally great products. The key is finding the one that fits your swing, game, and budget.

I have been asked this question so many times from so many customers. Matter of fact that is the most asked driver question I get.. I couldnt agree more with gas can on this.. That is the reason why there are so many too choice from, so you can find the right one for you and your swing..

The most expensive shaft may not be the best shaft for your swing, if your buying a new shaft get fitted for the right one.

You're asking a pretty broad question and I'm inclined to agree with gas_can's remark about finding the best shaft for your swing, game and budget. Too many times I see people let marketing, tour use or their friends guide their purchases.

Accuflex, Matrix, Harrison, Graphite Designs, Fujikura, Mitsubishi Rayon, UST (including Accra and Harmon subbrands), Royal Precision, True Temper (including Grafalloy), and Aldila all make equally great products.

Ditto

I've always goofed around fitting different shafts and always come back to UST. In my R7 I have that Fujikura RE AX that has been pretty good. I'm sure if I start to lose confidence with that shaft I'll switch it back to the UST Proforce 65. In my fairway woods and hybrids I use the UST Irod.

    • Day 287 6-16 Full, fast swings with controlling low point. Did ok just wasnt feeling it tonight. Recorded swing, no ball.
    • I'm good with the bunkers, and the fairways are SUPER wide. Three yards should stop a ball that isn't landing in it from rolling into the hay.
    • I'm a little behind, but I just finished listening to the episode about practicing while on vacation.  I have two vacations coming up this month that I won't be bringing golf clubs with me on, and this was perfectly timed (I'm sure I am not the only one going on vacation in June).   Especially the part about stretching.  I keep putting off adding stretching, with golf in mind, to my daily routine.  I think I'm going to use these upcoming vacations, the first of which I'm flying off to on Thursday, as a way to get into this habit.   For anyone else interested, Fit For Golf (see sidebar) has fantastic stretching routines (some of which, I think, are on their free area).  I really should get back to doing their main exercises too.  I don't have any affiliation with them beyond "satisfied customer," in case that sounds like an ad. I may end up posting in the 5 minutes thread when I do golf stretches if it's my only practice that day... as if I don't already sound like a broken mp3 with my 10-15 minutes hitting indoors part. And back to the topic:  anyone not caught up on the podcast should consider catching up and listen to that episode, especially if you're going on a non-golf vacation this summer and want some practice ideas that aren't the at-home practice routine from LSW about long bunker shots (which I am sure we all do regularly).
    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe. 
    • What's the rest of that story? Where was the ball going?
