Proto all around the best shaft but the YS6 also very good as well as the V2 but the proto just better feel and playability and performance

my personal opinion... you just can't go past the Fujikura shafts. absolutely brilliant.

I completely understand your dilemma regarding shafts with literally hundreds to choose from. To be completely honest however, at a handicap of 25, it probably wouldn't be worthwhile going for a pro shaft as it would just be too difficult for you to gain any consistency.

When i first started off, my swing was all over the shop, so i couldn't justify how spending $150+ on a shaft would improve my scores more than a couple of lessons. So i just picked the coolest looking shaft for the best price and went with it. It ended up being a Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue which funnily enough, it still found on my 3 wood.

Good luck !!!

None of the above. The BB Solutions 130 chrome ion shaft I have is the best I've ever hit. And I've hit most of them under $180.

The shaft that I was most satisfied with was the Accra SC 75 M4 Graphite Driver Shaft. This shaft was unbelievable. The only problem? $300 for a shaft.

I'm hoping that I can find a similar shaft to that one. If not, I'm hoping my wife or mom will splurge during holiday season.

None of the above. I have a love of UST shafts. I have IRODs in my hybrids. I had a Pro Force 65 in my last driver. As a matter of fact I'm thinking of re-shafting my R7 from the RE AX to the Proforce.

What's in my bag

Anything Fujikara I have loved...not sure why. I did have a proforce 65 stiff in an old 975 D...and I could hit that club super straight and work the ball as well. Just did not have a lot of distance.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
