Golfers? Question regarding driver shaft..

Any of you know if Grafalloy Blue shaft for driver is any good? I've seen them all over on new Titleist 905T & 905S driver.

Thanks

Well I work for Taylormade/adidas, so I'll tell you that you don't want to get the titleist driver but a r7 or r5 instead.

The G. blue shaft is a good one. We use it as an option on many of our drivers.

Taylormade r7 is crazy expensive. Do you get employee discount? ^^

Depends on your skill level. The G. blue could be way too stiff for you, especially depending on what driver head you are using.

Yea, what is your handicap and how do you like to hit the ball off the tee (shot shape, average distance, and accuracy)? The Graffaloy Blue is a really nice shaft if you have a moderate to high swing speed.

On a side note, the R7 is pretty much the best driver I have ever tried, I just swapped out my Big Bertha II for one about a month ago, and before that I played the Cleveland 330 for a couple years. The new Titleist is nice, but I would take a R7 or a BBII over it any day.

The reason I'm asking because I bought a Titleist 905T with Grafalloy Blue shaft for cheap/used (couple rounds). Though, I've never hit a G. Blue before so I don't know. Anyway, I think I'm gonna give it a try before swapping it out.

Yep, send me a PM.

I haven't used the Grafalloy, but recently replaced all mine with Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana s and they're very nice. Pricey, but you get what you pay for....

I personally don't like that shaft, I don't know why. The shaft makes the club though. You could have the best head in the world, but if the shafts not right for you then you're not going to like it at all.
On a side note. I do love the R7. I have that and the UST iRod stiff shaft and its amazing

I completely agree with Jeph, the shaft makes the club. I just bought the Ping G2 with the Graffaloy Blue Stiff Shaft. This shaft is good but I should have bought it wiht the Aldila NV-65. My swing speed is too high for the Graffaloy shaft. Make sure you hit every shaft that is offered in that club.
Good luck
