Fujikura Vista Pro 45 Ladies
Fujikura's Vista Pro 45 Ladies earns its best-in-class reputation by pairing a multi-material graphite layup with a torsionally stiff tip section to deliver tight dispersion and a stable feel tailored for women seeking control without sacrificing launch. Compared with lighter options on this list (like the UST Mamiya Helium 4 Ladies and Mitsubishi Eldio 40 Ladies), the Vista Pro trades a few grams for improved shot-to-shot consistency, and while it is typically priced at a premium, that cost reflects the higher-grade materials and tighter manufacturing tolerances.

Mitsubishi Eldio 40 Ladies
The Mitsubishi Eldio 40 Ladies is a market-leading, value-oriented multi-material shaft that emphasizes light weight and a smooth bending profile to promote higher launch and forgiveness for slower swing speeds. Technically it leans softer in tip stiffness and torque than the Vista Pro 45, producing easier tempo and feel; financially it tends to undercut premium options like Fujikura while delivering very competitive performance for players who prioritize launch and comfort over maximum stability.

Project X EvenFlow Riptide 40
Project X's EvenFlow Riptide 40 offers a distinct tempo-matching weight distribution and a damped, smooth feel that helps many women maintain timing and accelerate through impact. Compared to the ultra-light Helium 4 and the firmer Fujikura Vista Pro, the EvenFlow Riptide hits a middle ground—providing better feel and mid-launch characteristics than some 40‑gram shafts while remaining competitively priced and widely available through fitting networks.

UST Mamiya Helium 4 Ladies
UST Mamiya's Helium 4 Ladies is engineered to be extremely lightweight using multi-material construction so players with slower swing speeds can realize higher clubhead speed and easier launch. Its financial advantage is frequent OEM pairing and competitive retail pricing, but technically it accepts some compromise in lateral stability compared with heavier 45g shafts like the Fujikura and Aldila NV—making it ideal for players who prioritize speed and feel over maximum shot-shape control.

Aldila NV 45 Ladies
The Aldila NV 45 Ladies balances stability and playability with an advanced composite layup that targets mid-high launch and controlled spin in a 45-gram package tailored for women. Compared with the stiffer, premium-focused Vista Pro, the NV 45 often presents a better price-to-performance ratio and lower torque than some lighter 40g models, making it a strong choice for players who want near-premium stability without the highest premium pricing.
