Shafts?

[jackace]

What is the best places to try out different shafts on different clubs? I went to golf galaxy but if its not a semi std shaft they don't have it for testing.

I see a lot of people using project x (flighted as well) on irons and i have seen a bunch of different driver shafts being used, but honestly i have never tried anything but the std shaft in different flexes. Luckily for me i hit the DG s300 shaft pretty solid and my clubs dont need any length or lie adjustments, so irons havent been a big problem for me. I have however wondered about different shafts on a driver.

I have tested a few clubs recently and even though i get the stiff flex almost every time, some of the clubs i can't hit straight to save my life and others with same loft and length i can crush it straight every time. I was reading another post in another forum and the guy was talking about stock shafts on clubs (TM clubs in particular) and how they vary greatly from shaft to shaft, so i was wondering if i have passed up on very good clubs just because the particular club i was using had a "faulty" shaft. One of the other people in that post said he tested a dozen of the TM mas2 shafts (stiff flex) and there was almost no uniformity between the 12 shafts. He said some of them tested out as soft regular flex, one even tested out as a high x-stiff flex, and everything in between.

Both TaylorMade and Callaway are now providing proshops with fit carts. I believe the Callaway cart is driver-only. The Callaway fit cart has the current driver models (FT-I, FT-5, Bertha), each in a variety of lofts. The shafts lock into place using a quick fit system so you're able to try a variety (if not all) of the shafts offered with the chosen head.

The TaylorMade cart works pretty much the same way, however; TaylorMade has taken it a step further by offering the same quick change sytem for their various iron offerings.

I took advantage of the TaylorMade cart last week, trying the SuperQuad with a variety of shafts. If finally settled (if you can call it settling), on the VS Proto shaft.

According to the TaylorMade website there are several Select Fit carts in the greater Boise area .
