Heavier driver shaft dilemma


Recommended Posts

I am helping a friend search for a new shaft for his R15 driver. Long story short, I am trying to find a 70-75 gram driver shaft that's under $45 retail.

 

Tall order so far. My first guess was UST ProForce 75 (not V2) but I can't find one.

 

He is a power lifter and wants something a little more substantial for not a substantial price. He's a 17 handicap.

 

Thanks in advance!

Raw shaft then add either .335 or .350 adapter depending on what we find. Hoping to find a new uncut shaft.

The green Aldila NV line might be a good match and comes in around your price point (maybe even under) depending on the retailer.

Another option (I'm biased, these shafts suit me perfectly)

 

Grafalloy Epic, X flex, but they tend to play a little softer (at least in S)

Comes with a TM tip, so might be worth a look.

Be interested to see how the NVS works for him, considering it's a mid to high launch shaft and I assume he's putting some pressure on it with that speed and strength.
