David Leighton Reid Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 A couple of years ago, I joined some other golf junkies on our forum and participated in an unofficial test of lightweight and flexible driver shafts. For those that haven't read the thread it is called Shaft Hack The Otto Phlex Journey started by @azstu324. At the time I participated in this test, I had a Fuji Ventus Velocore shaft in my driver and 3 wood. Now I have 2 driver shafts: a UST MP5 in Ladies flex and a ProLaunch Blue 45 in stiff flex. Both of these shafts were around $60 and I hit both very well.....enough so that I am not looking for something better. I still have the Ventus Velocore in my 3 wood and I won't be changing that one out any time soon.

MGoBlue100 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 GD Tour AD DI 6x has been my go to for a while. Either it fits my swing or my swing fits the AD DI 6x. @GolfSpy Barbajo nicknamed me (or my tee shots) the “Road Runner” in Scotland. Medium height fade that runs.

Dallas Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Hi my favorite driver shaft that I currently use is the Ventus Black 65s velocore. Its currently in my new TaylorMade Qi10 LS, and also used in my older drivers. Got fitted by Modern Golf, Toronto, Canada. I would really like to test out the new technology compared to the last models from the Ventus lines.

Mike D94 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Have always found the Tensei Blue in reg or senior to work best for me. I have been fitted and there has not been a lot of difference in shafts except senior shafts do launch higher. As we age swing speeds decline and the difference in shafts becomes less noticeable. As well, as you change drivers, your fav from the past is less available. bama no 1, cksurfdude and TJ Hall 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbn Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I was fitted for the Aldila Quantum Sapphire and still have it. Currently I am playing the Graphite Design AD-IZ and love it. I haven't found anything to take it's place but am always looking for a contender. As stated on the shaft, distance and accuracy are it's best qualities.

golfnut3567 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Love good shafts. I have two Graphite Design DI shafts, one Fujikara Ventus Red, and 4 or 5 other decent driver shafts. Until very recent, GD has been my "go to" shaft. Not necessarily my longest, but it is extremely consistent. I just got a Fujikara Ventus Red (velecore). The more I play with it, the more I like it. Seems to be as consistent as the GD, and maybe a touch longer. Still early in testing for me, but really like it so far.
