Graman Shafts, Anyone Using One?

[Golfbum]

Does anyone have any experience using GRAMAN Shafts? The UL540 shaft to be exact.
I came across these shafts while doing some research into a shaft for that Adams head I have. Price is decent at $51 US, specs seem good. I would just like to hear from an actual user to get your thoughts. I have read some reviews from other forums, but would like to hear it from this forum!
I would be looking at an R Flex. So I am wondering if anyone can compare that flex to other shafts of the same flex.
Thanks
Rick

PS If you have not seen a Graman UL 540 they flat out HOT!
I always thought I would want an Aldila Pink, but not after seeing this colour!

Rick, I had one (UL 540 s-flex). Check out my review here:

OK Thanks Geoff
I have found a place in FL that has the UL Series listd at $51 US. I found a place in Canada that lists the same shaft at $134 Cnd. Not too hard to figure out where mine will come from if I buy one! I have a buddy in FL I can ship it to, he can bring it back when he is done playing golf down there this spring.

I built some clubs for one of my Long Drive customers from Macon Ga. he had the Garman shaft. Using a freq. meter I found it to frequency a little higher that other R Flex shafts I have frequencyed. It is probably because the torque is a little tight. Probably would need a little higher swing speed to load and unload this particular shaft, maybe about 95 mph. All this being said, I think it is a great shaft.

I have the 540 Limey and played it for most of last year in my gamer (X flex). It is the most accurate shaft I have ever used. For me it launches a bit high (everything does) and could use less spin however I have this issue with everything. It actually plays very similar to the Proforce V2, a bit longer but with much better feel. It feels very crisp and actually will make your clubhead louder (and not just in looks with its flourescent yellow paint!). Its a great shaft, by far the best bang for the buck. Check out Pheonix Golf Warehouse (or Works one or the other) I believe the have them for $43 US. Great shaft...you couldn't possibly be disappointed. Oh yeah...they do not play stiff however then can withstand just about any swing speed so err on the side of a softer flex and you won't have any issues if you swing a bit harder than is intended...you will notice that there is not swing speed ratings for this reason.

Right now I am leaning towards the Graman UL540 shown in my first post of this thread. Lime Green colour.

Limey $59 from John Muir Shoptalk owner out of Detroit I believe.

The price on these shafts vary quite a bit from dealer to dealer. In Canada it is priced at $134 plus tax and shipping.

In the US I have come across prices from $45.25 up to the dealer you list at $59 and one at $65. Plus shipping

The dealer at $45.25 is LIMEY
I can have it shipped to a friend who is wintering in Florida for a total of $58.75 US.

I am pretty sure this is the shaft I will put in the RPM. I am no Shaft Guru, but the specs look pretty good on this shaft, I have read some + reviews on it. Plus I love the colour! Now I will need to find a really funky looking grip!

I liked the feel and dispersion of the Limey, but I usually play reg flex and it was a bit whippy. I switched to the stiff flex and it was a perfect fit.

Just to dig this up, got a Limey UL540 in a R7 HT head and it's just as good as I remember it to be. Not sure this set up is as good as the R5 TP/Limey set up I once had, but it's pretty close.

No questions asked, this shaft is one of, if not the, best bang for your buck around.
