Probably not and as the article points out there is no standard for measuring spin and launch description. What does high launch/high spin mean vs lol launch/low spin even mean? And if you find that shaft x works for you, how would you correlate that to another manufacturer.

The world of shafts is very difficult to navigate and without finding a shaft and knowing its profile it is hard to compare one against another.

Driver shaft specs: Is there a reliable chart available that plots various driver shafts from low spin/low launch to high spin/high launch? (Reference - mygolfspy 2017 article is a good background read on the topic)

Changing shaft isn't going to change your launch or spin by any great amount. A shaft may cause someone to change their delivery which can lead to different angles of attack or strike points but nothing is concrete. Different people react differently to different feeling shafts. The launch/spin designations that shaft companies use aren't manufacturing terms, they are marketing terms that have no real implication on human beings swinging a golf club

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.
