My experience has been different than jlukes suggests. When I switched from a Fujikura Speeder 565 to an Oban Kiyoshi Black my spin was cut in half and launch reduced by about 1/3 (and I picked up 15+ yds in carry). On their website, Oban describes my shaft specs as low spin, low/mid launch. Fujikura, on their website, rate my 565 as mid spin/mid launch. While I recognize that the ratings are subjective, there is info available from at least some of the manufacturers. I've seen some charts in the past and was just wondering if others had found useful ones.
