IONEPUTT 98 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Graman 780 in S flex. I put it in an old Cleveland Launcher 460 Comp and It's been in my bag for over 15 years now. I use it every time I go to a demo day and I have never found a new driver with an OEM shaft that could do as well as what my old 460 Comp would do with that 780 Graman shaft. Even the Demo tech reps all told me to stick with what I have.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMookie 16,996 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 First has to be Dynamic Gold X100 since it was in my first drivers back in the late 70s and mid-80s. It was a performer!!! Next would be the Aldila HM-40 80g shaft I had in a TM driver head. That was a great shaft for me!

drb1956 19 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Aldila NV 65 or 75 for my woods. They always feel good, all in regular flex. I get good distance, and control I need.

DiscipleofPenick 3,796 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Does anyone remember Titanium shafts? Me and my dad put one in a driver and I had it in about 3 more. That was my driver shaft for over 15 years. I loved that thing. It was heavy for a driver shaft by today's standards, but lighter than the steel shafts that were still popular in the late 90s. I could just swing as hard as I wanted and rip the ball and it would just go straight. It was amazing, I still have it in the back of the garage, not sure what I'll do with it.
