    Shafts

    I have noticed that quite a lot of club manufactures (Ben Hogan in this case) use a custom shaft with a name like Aldila NV HL 70. The Aldila NV 65 has a torque rating of 3.5 and the NV 75 a rating of 2.8, you are left to believe that they are very similar in performance. I can't find any info the other shaft. If it is a good shaft they would promote the fact, making me think that it isn't as good. Conclusions are obvious. Does anyone know the facts?
    Will I ever be as good as I think I can be?

    I have no facts to show you, but several years ago I had a Callaway driver sent back to the factory to be re-shafted with a Graffaloy Pro-Lite, a seemingly good shaft. The 2nd round I played with it, the shaft snapped right below the grip. So I assumed they were not using the same high quality shafts that we can buy from component companies and re-shaft ourselves, which is what I did, and had no more trouble with the club.
