I'm going through a stage of reshafting some clubs in my bag and am looking for something for the woods. I've been trying to get out hit a few different models to see what I like and what I don't.
At the moment my SQ 5000 has an Aldila Vs Proto ByYou 65g S flex. I don't mind it but as others have said I find it a bit spinny.
Of the clubs I have hit recently the shaft that I like the most is the stock standard shaft in my srixon M steel. It’s an SV-3008 62g S flex.
What would be a comparable driver shaft that I could try and would I get the same kind of ball flight from a driver with a similar sort of shaft?
Any suggestions welcome:) Cheers guys

Best value shafts around here would be the Accra's Virge is selling.

They look pretty good actually, how do they compare in flex to other shafts? Would the stiff aldila be the same as a stiff accra?
Would I notice any difference with a different weight?

Ask Virge in the Accra thread. Looking at the CPM's listed on the website, I would say the Accra's are on the stiff side.

Run screaming from Aldila. Since you are not going to buy a real one - the cheap OEM shafts are absolute rubbish matched on weight only. You may as well make your own shaft from old HB pencils.

The Accra is a low spin shaft - so a lower ball flight will result.

Closer would be a $40 HTD 65 in Stiff to you Aldila. If you want less spin a GXS in Stiff would be a nice middle ground, followed by the IRod driver.

How does the irod driver compare to the irod hybrids?

Same sort of flight. mid flight.

I have one in my XCG Tour Exotics.

Virge, if I wanted to get a shaft in stiff flex to tinker with (working on a few things from David Williams and razaar to power up the swing), any ideas for someone who likes the UST HMOI or HL?

yeah mate - any of the UST shafts would be fine... any CB, GX or IRod shaft for $40 would be fine.
