THP Experiences
For the last few years THP has done this with equipment companies and it's a lot of fun identifying through a single word. Everybody has opinions and we like to hear them. This time its all about shaft companies and we hope THPers take a second and fill us in on their thoughts. Whether it be love, loathe, indifferent or many other colorful adjectives that are thrown out from time to time.

Rules - ONLY ONE WORD CAN BE USED

KBS
Nippon
Oban
Matrix
Project X
Mitsubishi
UST Mamiya
Graphite Design
True Temper
Aldila
Fujikura
Aerotech


THP took the liberty to pull shaft companies that are popular and leave these lucky 12. You can copy and paste the list in a response and give your one word answer for each company.

Remember, these are people's opinions and while you may disagree, it is their perception only. Let's keep things civil and lighthearted and have some fun with it.

I'll give this a go. Any shaft I don't enough to comment on I'll just put NA as i don't think it's fair to label them with a word, when I have no experience or thought on.

Edit: I did mine before reading any others. I was going for adjectives, not so much thinking about a model they offer, just to clarify.
