I'm 63, play twice a week and have an 11 handicap. I've been playing the vanquish 4 SR for a while now and absolutely love it. My swing speed is about 88 mph and paired with the paradym head, I seem to hit it super straight no matter how hard I swing. I'm a long time fan of MCA shafts having played tensei blues and even the fubuki V series too. For several months, I tried to tame the autoflex. When I centered it, the ball went 20 or 30 yards farther... but, it was like swinging a wet noodle. The vanquish goes almost as far, but with so much more control and I don't have to change my swing in order to hit it.
Been gaming a Vanquish 4S in my driver for a couple months now. It's a great shaft. Left it at 46 and I'm hitting my driver longer and and straighter much more often and I've never been able to hit a longer driver. If your looking for a lightweight shaft definitely give this a look. It also doesn't feel like an autoflex. You can feel it load but it doesn't feel sloppy or like you need to time it. It's also way cheaper. I'm a big fan
Tried using Vanquish 4S/S flex shaft (with a Taylor Made Gloire Stealth Plus). It is very light - but it doesn't feel "sloppy". The only thing I noticed was that ball flight became significantly higher (I played it with a loft of 9.75) and while carry was longer - my descent angle went up to 42 degrees which literally stopped the ball when it lands. Also noticed that I have a tendency to miss left on this shaft. In contrast, my Ventus 6s/TR Blue shaft gives me a descent angle of around 37 degrees - and my miss will almost always be on the right. I have tried adjusting the head to 9 degrees and will check how it comes out - but from the range session, ball flight seems a bit lower and straighter.

The Vanquish is worth a try.
I have had a 1K pro blue for a few months.
How have you liked it?
@NovaScene I like it but my Fuji TR is better.
