I have a Taylormade R1 that has a broken shaft and I would like to replace it for now until I buy a new driver later this year.

I need a regular flex shaft and looking for recommendations and places to purchase with the Taylormade tip installed or that can move mine.

Like the other poster said, eBay would be your best bet if you're just looking for something in the interim

I wouldn’t use eBay. I had a regular shaft on my m6 but needed a stiff. I went through Dallas golf. They have tons of shafts and can put any tip and grip on you want. I got my shaft within a week.

Find the same shaft on eBay and buy it. Learning curve will be minimal to non existent.

The original shaft was a Stiff flex and my swing speed can't justify stiff any longer. I have hit a few drivers with the Regular flex UST Helium Black and the kick point and torque seems to match my swing so I would love to find some with similar specs.

Honestly, it’ll be easier to upgrade to a newer TM driver.

The M2 all the way to the SIM2 are miles better than that R1.

Well, I fell back to the RBZ for now but I am holding out for last years Mavrik as my first choice. My friend also has an M6 that I hit pretty good that I think he' trying to talk me into taking off his hands.

I used an R1 for several years. I loved it and it loved me. I just now upgraded.

I’ve also sold a couple of really good shafts on eBay that were barely used for a good price.

That's also a good idea. You can probably find the exact shaft just in regular though. Every time I've switched shaft, I try to stay with the same profile
