Another shaft question.... I am going

to get fitted this week for a new driver. I have done this with my irons but for some reason have never done with driver. I wanted a little ammo when I went in so they don't try to rush me thru and suggest the driver they make the most money on. I think I undrstand the launch aspect....look for something that has 14 to 15 launch in order to max. distance ( I understand that the loft of the club will determine this for the most part). Once I find the right loft the next part will be the shaft. I like a medium ball flight so maybe something in between my current NV and a low kick point like the Prolaunch. I have a Swing speed of about 100 and a moderate tempo. How will I be able to determine the right torque and flex on a monitor? I hit a fade that can turn into a push cut so I think I will need a torque of at least 3.5 ( not sure). I am also in between on most charts when it comes to R or Stiff. I hope they will have all the answers for me but any info would be great. Thanks

Fujikura Tour Platform 26.3. Not quite as high trajectory as the Prolaunch, not nearly as low as the NV. At 100 mph, a stiff should work just fine. It has 3.8* of torque, and weighs about 67 grams (light, but not too light). According to the webpage, it works best with a moderate tempo. And, it comes in both .335 and .350 tips. And it comes in a cool color that kinda makes it look like a steel shaft.

It comes as an option in many drivers - taylormades (the shaft is, according to their webpage, a mettalic black in their drivers), Titleist 905, Cleveland Launcher Ti460 & COMP, Mizuno MX-500, and i'm sure some others. Just not Callaway.
