There are too many shafts to list them all here. The best way to get a good shaft fit for you is to use the fitting
guide.
Shaft upgrades are availible. I can place place special orders for components not listed here. These are just
to give you some ideas. Let's talk about what you are looking for and I will send you some pictures and info.

I-Drive Filament Wound (PSI)
Stability, control & torque resistency, more consistent recovery rate at moment of impact. The new I-Drive
promotes better launch & spin rate for optimum ball speed and distance.
Launch - Advantage of filament wound technology is the initial high launch & a flattening
trajectory without the extra spin. This combination of hi-launch/lo-spin offers the best of both worlds.
Flex - R/S/A/L

I spine align all shafts unless you ask me to do otherwise. This means that the shaft label
or brand name could face any direction depending on where the spine is. A few individuals prefer to have this logo face up
because it looks better. I will install it however you want it but it will affect performance.
I have been told by some suppliers that their
shafts don’t require any special orientation for installation because of the processes used in manufacturing. Unfortunately
these high tech processes do not consistently produce shafts that are uniform from butt to tip. 95% of the shafts on
the market are manufactured in the wrapped process which means some of the material overlaps. The other thing is that
manufacturers are producing shafts that flex in different locations. They accomplish this by using thicker materials,
causing shaft stiffness to be controlled to the point that they can change the launch angle of the ball. All of the
above stated process will cause anomalies in the walls, producing a spine. I have yet to find a shaft that I did not
believe that the performance could be improved by spining. There is one process that produces a very consistent shaft.
That manufacturing process is filament-wound shafts. Mercury shafts and S&K Fiber are two manufacturers that come
to mind who are producing these shafts. This process is more expensive. Therefore, I don't think you will find
many OEM's using filament-wound shafts.
If you could see a shaft placed
in a spine tool you would never want a club that wasn’t spined. I could never hit my 4 iron, so I took it out of my
bag. After I found out about spine alignment, I pulled the head off of my 4 iron, aligned the spine, and now hit it so well
that it is back in my bag!
Spining:
is a process of flexing a golf shaft
between three, free-spinning bearings (works on both
steel and graphite).
This allows the shaft to reveal (on a consistent basis) where it bends
each time when loaded in the golf swing.
This is a very predictable position; the shaft
will flex and rebound from the flexed position
in the same direction every time.
This position is the neutral bend position
(NBP) and the shaft will resist moving from this
location when flexed. The orientation of this position to the head of the club should be the
foundation of club building. Changing this flex characteristic of the shaft is impossible: Do not fight Mother Nature! Let us take advantage of what she gives us. The benefits of spining include dramatic improvement in solid impact with the ball and enhancing accuracy, feel,
and trajectory control. I am convinced that spining your shaft will double or triple your pleasure from a round of golf. To my knowledge, no original club manufacturer is spining
shafts. Therefore, there is a 99% chance that your game would benefit from spine
aligning. A custom clubmaker or an individual who has purchased the tool
only does this.
