Mizuno's new spec aftermarket upgrade shafts show loads of promise.
Mizuno Japan has just recently released a new series of aftermarket shafts called the Quad Series. It's a very clean concept they have here offering 2 models along with a variety of weight options. The model I foresee becoming the most popular is of course butt standard as most golfers desire a more feel less boardy sensation.
I have been testing this shaft for almost 2 weeks against some of Japan's other top rated aftermarket shafts including Roddio by Daiwa, MD and 9003 models by Graphite Design Tour AD JPN, and Mach line by NGS. The only shaft of the bunch that had as good or better balance was the Mach line 7080, The Tour AD MD-6 went toe to toe against the Quad in regards to distance while the Roddio fell short of equaling the Quad in any way.
Expect dispersion stability, better than average distance and with a retail price tag of just over 300 bucks it makes the new Mizuno Quad Series a top pick by TSG. A real standout among golf shafts made in Japan.
I would have to rate this product 4 of 5 stars 
Please read on below for more technical details and a complete discription...
Mizuno Japan introduces it's all new and improved Quad shaft for 2008.
Through heavy analysis of flex and swing types and transition at the
top, Mizuno offers the the new Quad in two models, the Butt Standard
for slow to average tempo swingers and the Butt Stiff for those with
fast tempos and aggresive transitions. The Quad which features a
special four axis carbon design including double layer carbon and ring
patterns to store power and minimize energy loss. Made to pair well
with the new large 460cc heads available today, the two different
models feature different stiffness throughout the shaft to match the
players swing tempo allowing him or her to square the face on impact
with full energy transfer from the swing. On the heavier and stiffer
flex Quads for quick tempo players, Mizuno has paired the stiff butt
with stiff tip for max control and to help reduce balls going left.
If you are a smooth swinger, the Butt Standard is for you.
If you have a quick tempo and agressive transition, the Butt Stiff is for you.
