Help me choose from these old reliables for M1

Your two cents, please and thank you!

My swing: later release than not.  Quick transition. 102-110ss but think fitting to 105ss is ideal. YS-6 worked great in 983K.
Aldila Rogue Silver 110M.S.I. 70 just doesn't work for me as well as I'd like unless I'm truly warmed up (which takes too stinking long any more).

So, hoping to find a viable better fit for me at $100 or less installed in adapter.

Shafts I'm thinking may work based on personal success in prior drivers and positive opinions from so many online over time..... with one non mainstream candidate.....

All STIFF FLEX

  • UST Proforce Gold 65 -new release of this with XX added to name
  • Aldila NV 65 Green
  • UST V2 66g
  • XCALIBER PRO T6 - this shaft intrigues due to its' glowing reviews on this and that other forum (you know the one where everyone swings it at 125mph and uses xx-stiff)

Since you know your swing better than anyone; why don't you just find a few of these that you think "might" work for you and test them out. I know from experience you can find a ton of used shafts online cheap. With tips. I'd bet you could perhaps find 2-3 shafts for $100 total.

I agree with Plaid but since you’re asking I’ll throw this out there. You and I are similar with quick tempo swings in a similar range.

I use a HZRDUS yellow 6.0 and I am very pleased with feel, trajectory and dispersion. My swing is quick tempo around avg 110mph.

Prior to that I used a Titleist Diamana Whiteboard in a 913D3 which was really nice as well.

Good luck!

Of the choices you have the aldila green or the gold xx. Another would be the aldila rogue maxx. Going to be like the rogue but a little softer. 

Another two options I like are the attas coool and yet to hit but based on past experiences with ust the new attas shaft

Thanks ....Makes perfect sense minus buying multiple adapters which is bump in road.

I've looked on ebay and at several others (RB, 3balls, global) and have figured I could do what you mentioned, in some cases they do exist but overall I've been shocked at how much is being asked in many cases.

If anyone knows a great source that would maybe be nice for me and others checking in.

Also. Throw the Grafalloy ProLite 35 in there. It’s only $35 brand new and it’s as good as anything ever made.
