Help finding a cheap driver shaft

[Leezee]

I was wondering if anyone can give me a hand finding a cheap driver shaft.

I sent my dad a set of clubs as a present but the driver broke. He claims it broke in transit but he never mentioned it until the first day he went out to play... Hmmmm... :-s

I need a cheap driver shaft for an R1 to get him back up and running.

I think I need something about 55g in weight but could go a bit heavier as I'm planning on giving him the driver back a bit shorter. He's probably a reg flex but he has a very jerky action so something stiffer wouldn't hurt. I think that they come standard with a 350 adapter so if I get a 350 shaft I can hopefully remove the adapter and then I will be able to do it next weekend when he is visiting, but otherwise I can just wait for an adapter sleeve to be delivered from China.

It doesn't matter if the shaft doesn't "fit" his swing yet as he is just resuming golf after a long time off.

Here are some things I found already but I don't know whether they are suitable:

https://www.golftraders.com.au/fujikura-pro-50-driver-shaft-regular-flex-adapter Fujikura pro 50 $70 (includes adapter), I think I might be able to get this with the correct adapter if I email, they offer the TM adapter on all the other shafts.

https://www.golftraders.com.au/grafalloy-boost-driver-shaft-58-gram-regular-adapt Graf boost $75 (includes adapter)

Ebay:
Graf prolaunch platinum $58
Mizuno fujikura orochi $58
Fujikura pro xlr8 $58

I would need to install the adapter myself on these but I think I can manage it.

I think these are all from the same place actually.

There is also this joint here https://www.golfcomponents.com.au/product-category/shafts/driver-shafts/?min_price=35&max_price=675&orderby=price who have heaps of shafts, they seem like good prices but some of the shafts are a decade old models.

I checked the classifieds here but can't find anything at my price level, I don't want to spend much as he can get fitted properly when he's ready.

Any help would be appreciated and if you know of anywhere good to get a cheap new or used shaft then please let me know.

Or even if you know which of the ones I've looked at would be suitable (or not).

Got a Project X 5.5 or Diamana Ahina Reg.
$30 to the Vic Champs Beyond Blue charity.
Just send me the broken tip and I'll install it and send it back.

Mate thanks so much, more than happy to donate to that charity any time.

Just one thing though, I think the Aldila Phenom 55 that's on it (was on it) is a .350 tip, is that going to be okay with those shafts? I guess you can fit a smaller shaft in a bigger hole?

You just need to use a Shim that take up the slack, that is all.

Perci will fit it and shim if required. Shafts are made fors out of no idea what.
