I'm looking to reshaft my Nike Ignite 460 with a new stiff shaft ( I don't think I need an Xstiff). I have the stock S shaft in it, but it just seems like it has way too much flex for my swing speed. I swing at around 110 mph maybe a tad over and I want something that will give me a medium trajectory, nothing too high. The driver is 9.5 degree and I tend to fade when I'm not hitting the ball very well. Any suggestions on good shafts on the market. I've Grafalloy's before and they weren't bad, but I haven't done a shaft change in a while, so I don't know what's good these days. Thanks for your input.
at a 110 sp, your close to x stiff, here's two suggestion, fujikura speeder which cost more, but a very good shaft or the aldila nv, also a good shaft, both with higher kick points and both lean on the stiffer side of stiff. i'm others will have some more suggestions.
Most any aftermarket stiff shaft will play stiffer than stock OEM ones. This spawns from the fact that OEMs will label their shafts "stiff" to attract a wider range of players and build on their ego. Mikey made some good suggestions, you could go stiff or x-stiff depending on the shaft. The other thing you'd want to look at is your trajectory. If you feel that your current trajectory is significantly too high, than you'd probably want to look for a tip stiff, high bend shaft. If you trajectory is currently a tad bit high, this could be the result of the stock shaft being too soft, so you could look at a mid trajectory shaft. I'd probably avoid a stiff that has a softer tip which may mimic the ball flight of your stock shaft. I really like the PF V2 75 S or the Accuflex Evolution lite

You might want to take a look at the AccuFLEX Evolution.
I went with a Harrison shaft and like it. The club head is a 10.5 degree and I don't swing anywhere near 110 mph, but the ball has a medium flight and is straight where I couldn't hit a barn with the stock shaft.
I will look into all of those. I'm liking the sound of the Accuflex Evolution and the Fuji Speedster. Would a shop frown upon me bringing in a shaft that I purchased say on ebay and having them to the install?

Thanks for the suggestions guys...I ended up going with a FUJIKURA Speeder 757 Tour Spec. I decided to go with an x-stiff and see how it works. I got it on ebay for $99.00 + shipping. I'll let you all know how it works when I get it.
