[dazza99]

Hi Guys. For you shaft guru's out there. Titleist 913/915 driver shafts.

4 different shafts. Just after opinions on which would be the best, worst, most popular, cheapest, etc and what differences between them. Which are/were standard issue etc.
Are they all very different in standard and quality. Or are they all much of a muchness.

All in the lower price range for shafts, and older. In their day though, they would have been mid price range.

Which is "best" is dependent on your swing. I have tried all of them (HD7 not HD10), and I prefer the RIP Phenom. Felt better than the others, though none were a real stand out on performance (in that group).

As benno said they are all "dated" now and come down to your swing & what characteristics you require from a shaft. Out of the above I've had the most success with the V2 and still rate it as a quality shaft (have one fitted in my Nickent tour head) but it's probably best if you go get fit for a shaft to know exactly what you need and save yourself $$$'s & potential frustration in the long run!!!

The V2 is a great shaft, i still use one in my 3w and was using it in my driver until recently.

Strangely enough, I bumped the V2 for a Diamana Ahina in my driver as it suited the Ping G better.

Both are still great shafts.

I found the RIP the most boardy and always had half decent success with the V2.

You coukd buy a few and do your own test as you'll pick them up cheap.
