What would be the best option for a shaft feeling fitting in the BR and surrounding area? Not looking to get fit for a whole new setup. Just want to find a driver shaft that is repeatable for my swing. Don't really want to pay a few hundred dollars either.

TIA.

Driver shaft? Schneider’s Golf Mechanics on Bluebonnet has the entire Ventus line up as well as others.

Not really sure what you're trying say here. You're wanting a certain feeling in the golf shaft?

Most likely the problem here is that it's hard to repeat your swing, for the most part, the shaft will do whatever your swing dictates, a shaft won't help your swing, out to in, in to out, over the top etc.... If you go to a place that fit's for custom shafts, Ventus Velocore, Graphite Design, Oban, those will cost you some money to be fit for them because the big box stores don't carry those, you'll have to go to a club or a private fitter for a fitting and they most likely will charge you for it plus the cost of a shaft, also the custom shafts start at around $300 for new. They won't help you hit it farther but they help in dispersion unless you're a high handicapper who has a 50' slice or hook, it won't help much there.

Garmin has a swing speed analyzer / they aren’t cheap.
That might be a way of helping atleast with stiff shafts etc

Dicks charges like $79 I believe. They waived the fee when they basically told me my swing was an abomination and fitting would not help. Scheduled lessons instead. Glad I did, its completely changing my swing for the better.

It sounds like you just need a shaft that you like the feel of. It’s pretty common for people, when they get fitted, to choose the shaft with the perfect results rather than which one feels the best.

I’d just got somewhere simple like Schneider’s or Edwin Watts and find whichever shaft has the profile you like most. Some like to feel it load at transition, some like to feel like they’re swinging rebar.

Find somewhere with a trackman or similar. Record your data and send it to touchet performance golf.
