Low launch shaft that does not feel boardy?

Oban Kiyoshi white or black.  Black feels smoother to me but both are good.

You're looking for tip stiff with a higher torque rating. Low torque is what makes graphite shaft feel "boardy". Look for a tip-stiff shaft in X with 3.8° to 4.5° torque. Doesn't matter what brand.

Diamana DF falls into this category.  60X has torque of 3.8.  Linear load without feeling boardy.  I'd put it between low and low/mid in terms of launch.

Evenflow T1100 75x. Only shaft i have found for my swing that keeps launch in a good window and spin low. I have even got 10 yds of roll...usually -1 yd roll. Tried rogue silvers and diamana d+.

Same here same exact shaft. It tightened up dispersion nicely no longer spraying it just missing fairways 5-10 yards off left or right. Can still make ball flight mid high but even so I may get 2500rpm max when really going after it. It's a great stable shaft with nice feel.

@BTP...same experience with dispersion. Other shafts i tried just kept spraying 20-30-40 yds left and right. T1100 is pretty straight, 5-10 yds left and right now. I can keep it within the tree lines now instead of in the middle of the trees. I actually have confidence in where the ball is going.

A lot of good options in this thread. The Atmos Black and Pro 2.0 TS are both very smooth feeling shafts while maintaining linear stiffness and not feeling boardy. I’ve tried the Tensei CK’s, the Rogue Silver, plenty of GD AD options, but it’s hard for me to beat the feel you get from any of the Fuji’s. A lot of people rave about the Ventus Black and/or Blue and I don’t necessarily disagree, but I absolutely love the Atmos Black and play it in my driver and 3/4 wood.

KBS TD line is as smooth as I’ve swung.  My driver hovers just above 115 on most swings. 

ill 2nd this... very underrated shaft and not alot of real world feedback out there

 

in a SIM Max 9* this shaft was giving me consistent 11* launch and 2100 spin. Very smooth..... If interested let me know. Ill be posting the driver and 3w shaft on classifieds soon since I switched drivers

The Tour AD GP (untipped) has a lot more feel than I remember. Just went back to testing one after playing the Hulk for a year, and it definitely has a good kick in comparison.

I like the the GD Tour AD M9003.  I tipped the 7X and even that doesn't feel boardy to me.  I've found it to feel similar to the Tour AD XC, which is also a great option.

 

I've never swung a GD that was rebar
