Okay guys, I want a little advice, for those who would like to give it.

Club in question is the r9 TP.

Here are some statistics from me, from our launch monitor today:
Clubhead speed: 103-108mph
Ball speed: 153-164mph
Launch Angle: 12-13*
Spin: Questionable, I have had readings (different monitors and locations) from AVG 800rpms, to normal 2000-3000rpms.
Tempo - smooth and balanced

I am young, soon to be 23, with opportunities to play mini-tour golf. Looking for the shaft that matches up best for me, and the TM TP shaft options are not readily available to be tested at local retailers or courses.

Shaft Options:
ReAx (stock)
Aldila Voodoo NV6 TP
Aldila Voodoo SV6 TP - shaft I'm leaning towards
Fujikura Motore 65 TP
Fujikura Motore 75 TP
Fujikura Motore 85 TP
Matrix X-Con 55 TP
Mitsubishi Fubuki 63 TP
Mitsubishi Fubuki 73 TP

I currently play an 85x Aldila NV in my Burner TP 17*, along with a Proforce V2 65s in my 905R Titleist.

Those specs on swingspeed and ballspeed are accurate, I'm unsure on the spin rate, which is a crucial element in choosing a shaft. I'm a rather pure ballstriker, have VERY VERY littel sidespin on the ball, accuracy is a STRONG point in my game even with solid distance.

Also, my swing speed is right in the area of Stiff and X-stiff as well. My tempo is very smooth, which is strange considering I am 5'6'' and have fairly high swing speed.

Any input is greatly appreciated! I've gotten so many mixed reviews, and without REALLY knowing my spinrate with the driver, it's tough as well.
