I am not an expert clubfitter... but what club are you talking about... driver shaft, irons, hybrids, or wedges - definately makes a big difference.

Also... I think most of the replys are going to be... "it depends on the person" We know that we typically pay more for low torque shafts, but some people think they feel terrible. Aome people like flighted shafts, others don't. Some people want high launch, others want a stiff tip and low launch.

Sorry, meant driver shafts, its simply a question about what is regarded as the best driver/graphite shaft at the moment, some people will automatically say Aldila or Graffaloy, which I don't think is true as they mass produce, mass production causes lack of quality which means they can not be at the same level as a better made, lower production shaft?

Take a look at the Accra Series. They're a little heavier, low torque and made extremely well. Most places don't sell them: Golfsmith, Golf Galaxy, World of Golf.

You can, however, find them at any certified fitter. Expect to pay at least $200 . To have it pured and mounted is anywhere from $50 to $80.

I also tried the Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana Shaft. That shaft is about $300. I could not generate enough swing speed to make it work for me. You might want to take a look, though.

How about some Ozik or EPIC stuff?

I sound like a broken record sometimes, it all depends on what fits you and your swing. Otherwise if you just spend some dough, I have the

Matrix OZIK TP-7 or TP-7X that has an MSRP of $1200 of course I could offer you a discount. I have the TP-6 in one of my drivers.

    • There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:
    • I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 30 My typical ball flight is: push fade with iron The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push fade/slice and shank with irons Videos:       
    • Day 1 (17 Jun 26) - Starting the post over - even though I have not missed any days as I’m working as a volunteer instructor at the Jr Golf Camp primarily in short game area (putting/pitching/sand) - Monday - putting stroke and distance control; Tuesday - chipping from off the green with less than wedge (7-9 irons); Today - getting out of bunkers (focusing on splashing the sand underneath the ball) - been a full three days.
