Driver shaft comparison, old and new

[longballjs]

I recently got a hzrdus yellow and it's just to low launching for me. Looking to get a new shaft and played around with titleist's shaft comparison tool.

 

It seems to me from what they have up, that the voodoo vs7, rip alpha 70, and diamana d+ 70 are all very similar. Is that true? These specs are based off of a stiff shaft, I would be using an xstiff.

To me, shaft bend profiles of tour quality shafts in the past 20 years or so are literally unchanged (except for feel).

"many of the high dollar shafts are actually made with more expensive raw composite materials. But they don't need to be made with such expensive materials to achieve their weight, flex, bend profile, balance point and torque. In my career I have measured the specifications of literally thousands of different shafts, and from my experience, I have yet to see a $100 to $300 shaft that could not be duplicated for weight, flex, bend profile, balance point and torque and sold at a normal profit in the industry for an aftermarket price of $25 to $50."
