Typhoon I like this new Quicksilver. It plays(to me) a little stiffer than the old Patriot shaft. So, I got a couple of the A flex and they are about perfect for me. GD shafts have sure skyrocketed in price, migawd. And those Hazardous shafts, well, I've never got along with anything Project X put out, and they are outrageous priced also. Unless finding 'pulls', which I question as to being 'made for'.
Did you have the Black Diamond spined? I think, for sure, in the HOF shafts it makes a big diff. Some have pretty stiff spines. I never had an inaccurate HOF shaft, after it was spined. Although, I do have 1 Patriot that I've tried in different heads and it is just a POS. It happens, but with all their shafts I've had, it's the 1st lemon.
