Your right to replace the shaft if it is not the right one for your swing. With a 95 MPH swing you can likely go with a stiff shaft (not an x-stiff). And for the price range you are looking in, I suggest a Penley Stealth 70.

Depending on where you get it, it should cost $30 to $35.

It comes in a length of 46". Depending on your height and swing, cutting it down to 44" or 45" might be a good idea.

I am 6' and have a swing well in excess of 100 mph (130 mph is not uncommon) and cut it down to 44" for better control.

In the interest of full disclosure, I used to be on the Penley Shafts long drive team. For my long drive drivers I used the Penley Ultron at 50". Swing speed was 160 MPH.

But regardless of my former ties to Penley Shafts, I do find them to make top quality shafts that perform and are a steal for the price.

Go to the golfworks and order the Element 21 eagle golf shaft.

Definately get a stiff shaft with your swing speed. I had to replace my first set of woods and a driver with men's stiff shafts because the lady clubs would bend whenever I would swing. I LOVE the stiff shaft. I have the Mizuno Blue Rage fairway woods and a custom made driver with a stiff shaft as well. My game has vastly improved since getting the right clubs for my swing speed.

Now, I'm just waiting for any one of the usual suspects to fire away with the dirty comments. ;)
