Still love the Graphite Design Ys6+ shaft... what can I upgrade to?

Its an old shaft and things have changed but, what would be an equal upgrade for this shaft?

Replying because I love the YS-6+ too, and would love to hear what the "modern equivalent" is.

These are some of the best shafts ever made. I still play one in my backup driver. I'm all ears.

YS NanoReloaded

Upgraded design using technology from AD-DI range. Good news is that they only cost about $100.

Played a ys7+ in the original m1 fairway. Great feeling shaft.

New tech with similar feel? Ventus blue.

Ironically enough the Nano Reloaded also shares the same bend profile as the Tour AD IZ shaft.

I played that shaft about 20 years ago in a 975D, I think? It was a great shaft. I moved to a Diamana Blue 62 and had a lot of success with that as well. I have stayed with the Diamana shafts and now have an LTD Blue, but I would say it has gotten a little stiffer in the tip. I have also tried the Tensei AV Blue 55, but that was too soft, but you might try it in the 60gm version.

Anyone play the new Reload YS?

I use it in a 913 D3 driver and two backups, a 905T and a 905R.

I got the YS-SIX NanoReloaded S flex with a Titleist adapter for Christmas. I fitted it to my Titleist 915D3, playing length 45.5". I had been playing an Xcaliber RT6 S at 44.25" before. I changed out the adjustable weight at the back of the head from 14g to 4g to keep the MOI of the club about the same. I have had several sessions with it on the simulator and the results have been amazing. Similar feel to the old YS-6+, but with a more stable lower section.

I play a ys-7x nanoreloaded in my 5 wood and absolutely love it. Actually got it in a bundle and had no idea about it. Put it in my 915f 18* and it really brought it to life. I can hit high or low whatever shot I need. Thinking of getting another one to put in a 3 wood.
