Yet another shaft Question

What is the "weakest" stiff shaft? I ask this because, my old driver was a king cobra F speed regular flex ailda NV 65. My new driver is a TM R7 SQ with a VS Proto stiff.

I was getting more carry out of my Cobra when I hit it straight than I am getting out of my TM. I seem to be getting about the same distance out of TM on average with the roll. I haven't done enough testing of the TM yet to know if it is my swing or me not used to the shaft yet. I have a G5 head that I need to put a shaft in and I want to experiment with a different shaft. Please give me some suggestions. Thanks

I think you'll find the stock shafts are often the softest "stiff" shafts

what's the loft on the old/new drivers?

I had all the intentions of selling it with the Graffaloy Prototype Comp NT 65 xstiff shaft that it was a attached to until I hit it last thursday and head went further than the ball. I still don't know what happened to it. I didn't hit the ground. It had been sitting in the garage for two weeks untouched. So I figured I would use it as a lab rat and test a few shafts out. to find one that I like. I figure one head is the same as another.

Clemson, how'd you like the Comp NT? I've got a new one I'm planning to put in my G5.

I liked the comp NT. At first I thought it was a little to stiff for me so I let a co worker take it and hit to see if he wanted to buy it. Two weeks later I met him at the range to hit it finally, and I hit a couple when he was almost done and it surprised me how the ball was coming off the club. I was getting 240yds of carry not counting the roll. And that was with range balls and a decent head wind. So yeah I liked it.

One that I know of for sure is the Accuflex JLG Ultra Boom. The Stiff in that is more like a Regular +. Plus it's a nice shaft, and colorful too.

Likewise, the X-flex in the JLG isn't a very stout (normally) Stiff shaft.
