R11 9* Set Open-
Graffaloy Bi-Matrix X Flex at 44" is my go to shaft now.
Fujikura Motore Speeder VC7.0 S Flex Tipped 1" at 44.5"

I may go back to the Fuji for the late Fall to early spring with the additional 20+ layers of clothing that tend to slow the swingspeed down.  I feel like the Michelin Man or Ralphy's little brother all bundled up in A Christmas Story!

Since there are so many shafts out there, I thought why not start a poll on shaft brand? Please let me know if your brand is not in the list and I will add it.

Arthur Extreme is missing from the list!

It would have at least one vote by now.

I'd like to see House of Forged on the list as well... just out of interest.

Not much love (yet) for A X E (?) - I have an Xcaliber Tour 7 in my 910 D2 - For the record it is my only driver! - I know I shouldn't really be on GolfWRX but cut me some slack, I am in the UK ... Paul

Razr Fit w House of Forged John Daly White Out 69S

Fubuki Alpha 63S Backup

Super Secret Backup - Rapture V2 w Oban Revenge M4.  

I think the Oban had the best ball speed... So why is it sitting in the garage again?

I had the Aldila Proto by You in my old Ping Rapture and Rapture 3 wood, so when I got my new R11 I went looking and found one.  I like the look and feel of the shaft and for me I believe it is a great fit and have a lot of confidence.  I replaced a Mitsubishi Fubuki that I might whip out and see if I notice any difference.  The specs are very similar but coming from different companies, they may be very different.

I have the same shaft in my Callaway Razr Hawk.  I also have the Fubuki.  I took both to GG and got on the launch monitor.  Even thoughthe specs are similar, the results were not.  The Proto whupped on the Fubuki in my hands.

Looks like Aldila and Mitsubishi Rayon are the most popular shafts on the forum, followed by Fujikura and Graphite Design.

Let's get everybody's vote.

I wonder how many votes for the Aldila and Mitsubishi Rayon are simply because that's the stock shaft that came in there driver?  Diamana and RIP are the most common stock offerings aren't they?

Just a thought for another variable..

I have a UST Mamiya in my G20. I'v never hit a UST shaft before and I'm actually liking it a lot. Its a shaft that shouldn't work for me going by the blurb but it does and I'm liking the late kick it seems to give.
