I went to a 50 gram weight class driver shaft about 3 or 4 years ago. I definitely had to exercise some patience when getting used to it.

I bet. Always have to exercise patience when changing weights but I do think we can all get used to it eventually. I’m comfortable in the 60g range now but I know that’s probably going to change in the next couple years
Ballyhack hole breakdown today got me excited. I finally was at home when I saw that thread and logged into Shot Scope for the my strategy. This is what it has me at right now. Maybe with the new shaft I'll have a little more carry and a tighter dispersion so I can cut off the corner rather than aim at the house 
. I'm so excited about this!

Hmm, that changes what I was thinking (I am pretty sure).
I like the looks of the Odessey Eleven Tour Lined DB which has a double offset so I am figuring it would not work:
Thoughts on a mallet that would allow this install?
if you like the Eleven Tour Lined, you would probably have to go with the CH versionHmm, that changes what I was thinking (I am pretty sure).

Really, it’s going to have to be a plumber/crank or a center shaftHmm, that changes what I was thinking (I am pretty sure).

Bummer. I have NEVER liked the 2-ball design (just not my thing), even if there is a line on it.if you like the Eleven Tour Lined, you would probably have to go with the CH version
Hmm...Center Shaft will work you say? I may just leave my 7 CH as is and buy a new putter. As if I really needed an excuse
Actually, I guess I can see if I can find an 11 Tour Lined S instead:
The new Edel Array putter line is very customizable with interchangeable hosels including a couple that would work with a Diamana putter shaft, and interchangeable aiming/alignment plates, weights.Hmm...Center Shaft will work you say? I may just leave my 7 CH as is and buy a new putter. As if I really needed an excuse
Several models to choose from too.
Just saying.
When they released those, I checked them out as well and the slant would work with the Mitsubishi shaft (I am almost positive).

Correct. Has to be an inner hosel, not an over hosel
@JB,
I went to the local Golf Galaxy and got on the launch monitor. It was very enlightening. In the end, the guy didn't try to sell me a $1000 driver, but told me I would be better off with a newer Callaway head (his opinion is that my 2019 Epic Flash SZ is better for lower handicap players than me) like a Rouge ST Max LS (which I happen to have on the way to me now) and a better shaft like a Graphite Design Tour AD-6 in stiff flex, which is more of an X flex than S because of the tip section being so stiff.
I also was hitting draws every time, even when I pushed the shot to the right, since my head path and face were open and I have a very late and hard release to try to save it.
I went back into the shaft fitting tool and changed some inputs and instead of the original recommendation of:
The new recommendations are:
Looking at the Graphite Design Tour AD shaft info, it is a medium butt, medium mid and stiff tip design that is high launch with low spin.
I am confused as to what shaft I should get now! Any ideas or recommendations on who I should chat with?

Which Graphite Design Tour AD shaft did they recommend? Was it the orange colored Tour AD DI 6S?
It was the orange AD 6-S, pre AD DI.
The shaft that likely will be most similar I believe is the Diamana TB.
Thank you. Unfortunately I didn't do a fitting and only hit that shaft and a Tensei 1K Pro Black in a 3 wood. The Tensei was softer and felt smooth, but I dont get along with faiirway woods much and almost every swing was super low on the face. Still 100 mph head speed, but low.
Driver was 106 mph swing speed.
Many of the Graphite Design shafts are similar and have a bend profile like the Diamana Blue Board. The Diamana TB is the 5th generation of that profile. It is a very smooth feeling shaft.
The Tensei 1K Pro Blue Pro is a variation of that same profile as well but probably a bit more stout.
The Tensei 1K Pro Black is a low launch low spin shaft more similar to the Diamana WB or Whiteboard profile.
At 106 MPH you are right at the border between Stiff and X-Stiff. The nature of your backswing transition would probably be the deciding factor on which flex would be best.

@Jman and @Browndog droping some serious shaft knowledge in here. You guys are both getting me even more excited to learn more from the team at Mitsubishi.
Shafts have something I’ve been I guess a little timid to learn more about. It can be intimidating when you see all the profiles, torque, materials, etc.

Let me get to tomorrow evening and I’ll circle back on this, i can help, happily.@JB,

Shafts seem like they should be simple things but we all know it is anything but that. Most people take whatever they can get and deal with it. I also am seriously looking forward to the knowledge I will gain from the experience!
My transition is pretty smooth, especially since I started working on slowing down my transition from backswing to downswing. I do get quick sometimes and I know it as soon as I do it and correct it on the next swing.
Thinking about this event, I decided to put my old Tensei AV Raw White in the Darkspeed X for today’s round. I hit some absolute bombs with it and can’t wait to get the new shaft!
