Good examples:
Graeme McDowell, Louis Oosthuizen, and Lee Westwood used the same drivers for 4-5 years. These guys have access to anything and everything they want. Truth is, there is very little difference in the heads of the 460 CC drivers made in the last half decade. Shafts matter, but even then, a lot of the shafts made in recent years are nearly identical in performance. It's about what's finding right for you.
Good example: I was looking for a shaft with similar performance to a Fubuki Tour, but didn't want to pay $100-150 bucks on eBay for a pull. I settled on a shaft with nearly identical performance, an Axivcore Green, for $60 bucks new and uncut. A few minutes with a small piece of sandpaper to prep the tip and a Dremel cut-off wheel to trim the butt to size and I had the same thing for significantly less.
Of course, I could have just ordered a new club from PingWRX with the shaft upgrade and dropped 500 bones, but that didn't seem like an overly responsible purchase.
