I've built many different clubs over the last two years and by far for medium to inexpensive shafts UST ProForce V2 series are my favorite graphite shafts. They are quality shafts that when tuned properly perform as good as very expensive shafts for a moderate price and outperform other shafts in their class made by Fujikura, Aldila, Syntec, and Grafalloy. My second choice would be a tie between Aldila & Grafalloy.
I have several versions of the ProForce V2's Woods & Hybrids all ranging from R or S type shafts with torque's in the mid 3-4 range to my favorites, their latest lines, in the low 2-2.5 range which are very stiff (X shafts). I can hit the mid torque shafts well and the feel is much softer but very controlled however for my higher swing speed the low torque shafts are much better. With the mid-flight shafts I can hit the ball high if I wish or if I need to keep the ball low I can, with great results. I can't say enough about UST and I'm looking forward to trying their AXIVCore next. Lately at one of the club's I golf at I've noticed lots of other golfers using UST V2's and a lot of them are R11's re-shafted with ProForce V2 shafts.
Advantages: High Quality
Controlled Flex
Moderate Cost
Light Shafts for Stiffness
Disadvantages: A little more difficult to tune as there are two spine points that are not 180 deg apart so frequency tuning (Purring) is the best method to use, as it normally is.
