This shaft is the most universal of the three. In my opinion, the perfect blend between weight and torque. This is my personal favorite of the three RLM shafts. The Darkest of charcoal color fades to slightly lighter graphite grey, and all done in a rich satin finish. While it seems as if this shaft might be a little tight, I assure you it is perfect for the majority of golfers. Drivers will find the ball to get up in the air easier for more distance than the Argent shaft, and golfers of all skill levels and swing speeds will find the Basalt will match their needs. You will not be disappointed in this one.
